Aiming to head down to the Wichita Hobbit Party in December. Yes, I know it's a very long way to go for a film, but when it comes to NarniaWebbers ... However, I just entered this contest. It would be a miracle if I won, but there's always a first time. I'm just hoping it'll take place prior to when we leave for KS on December 11th. If it doesn't, I'll pass the tickets on to some other lucky souls.

Nellie and I have dressed up as Shire lasses for a Tolkien convention years ago, and that was fun, but I don't know if we will pursue it this time. I'm not a very costume-y person, and getting that curly hair to stay stuck on our feet was a bit of a challenge. Still, we did look rather cute, if I may say so myself, traveling the Toronto subway system as hobbits.

oh, oh! If it is insanely warm and people want to do hobbit feet, I wouldn't mind bringing my box and doing them for people. I have all the tools for prosthetic-y stuff, as you know.

Speaking of which, I need to spray down and finish dyeing my elf ears. They're currently a dirty white with red streaks. I'm not sure if I should go elven jut for the sake of it, or figure something else out, though.

Sleep on the plane, LA!! You're not going to get any sleep in KS!!!!

And the worst part is, I'm awful about sleeping on planes, too!!

oh, oh! If it is insanely warm and people want to do hobbit feet, I wouldn't mind bringing my box and doing them for people.

Oooh, really? I'm planning on coming to KS as a Hobbit Lass and I've been debating what to do about the feet since I'm a bit of a wimp. (Barefoot? In December? Eeeeeeep!) But maybe if I had a pair of flipflops cunningly painted to resemble my feet??? Or I could maybe rig a pair of sandals with hobbit hair and wear socks underneath until the last minute...

(Incidentally, if anyone is interested in designing a ladies hobbit outfit this is one of the nicest collections of research I've seen so far.)

I currently don't have any concrete plans for the movie. I'm so surprised at how near its release is! I'll probably see it in theatres, if I get the chance to. I'm hoping to read the book first, just so I can prepare well.

I too plan to head for Wichita. Berninbush is taking pity on me and driving. (I don't drive in winter weather because I don't have the experience. ) I won't be in costume because I have little to no skill in that area.

I have a group of about 10 friends who are all going opening night. As soon as school gets out on the 13th, we're heading to the theater to set up Minecraft LAN to play for the 8 hour wait. We'll have someone run to McDonalds or something and take turns going outside to eat.

then the weekend after that, I'm going again with a different group of friends after we pig out at Denny's on the Hobbit menu stuff.

I plan on going to the Hobbit Lion Party in Kansas. Then I plan on seeing with local NarniaWebbers (If you live in the Twin Cities MN area and would like to join us, send me a PM). I'm also going to see it with my family.

Just bought 3 tickets on-line for a 1:30pm showing this Saturday at world famous Grauman's Chinese theater in Hollywood, California. My all-time favorite theater but I have not been there for a while.

Looking forward to seeing The Hobbit 1 with a couple of good friends.

Still haven't figured out if or when I'll see The Hobbit. D: Funds are tight, as is time, and so it's been hard to work out. I'm praying we get to go soon, though. I can't handle not seeing my favorite dwarves for much longer (especially Fili).

I'm going to see the Hobbit tomorrow (Jan. 12th) with some other NarniaWebbers. The info is below if anyone in the area would like to join us. Please PM me if you will be there.

^ This is a 2D showing and I'm curious as to how different it looks compared to 3D.

(I also viewed it again yesterday with friends and made a few observations over in the Hobbit Movie thread about HFR vs. regular).

I feel a need to see it again. Wonder if I have any friends locally who haven't seen it yet?

And here's how I dressed (sorry it's blurry, poor light):

I went to see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in 2D this past Sunday at the nearestdiscount theater. I had missed the first 25-30 minutes of the movie when I went to see it in 3D in Hollywood in December with a couple of friends. We miscalculated the horrible L.A. traffic.

Anyway, the movie looked really good in 2D and I got to see some interesting things that I had missed. Also, when most movies arrive at the discount theater and have been there 3 weeks, you usually get streaks and pops and some kind of blemish in the used print. They must be using a digital print as there was not one single distortion I could detect at all.
