ELF: THE LORD OF THE RINGS East Coast Convention journeys to the New York/New Jersey area for the very first time and we're rolling out the red carpet for you....

Authorized by New Line Cinema, this official gathering is produced by Creation Entertainment in association with TheOneRing.net. This gathering follows wonderful previous LOTR events held twice in Pasadena, California (The One Ring Celebration) and once in Orlando, Florida (ELF). We know that you will LOVE the time you spend with us, we're gonna give you memories to last a lifetime! The event will feature all the things fans have come to expect at our LOTR weekends: guests, scholar/artist/craft lectures and demonstrations, contests, autographs, photo ops, PARTIES, music, vendors, fan films and music videos, and surprises!

Note: ELF 2006 is meant to be a somewhat smaller and more intimate gathering than the "big" Pasadena Convention. Therefore we ask that you make plans early and purchase tickets before they sell out (as they have at previous events).

Convention Events

LOTR DISCUSSION PANELS Here's a list of some of the panels planned during the weekend! Lynnette Porter -- Heroic Hobbits, from Book to Film to Stage The four hobbits of the Fellowship became heroes eventually recognized by not only other races in Middle-Earth, but also among their friends and families back in the Shire. Although the four shared many experiences before, during, and after the War of the Ring, they each achieved heroic stature in unique ways. Frodo’s, Sam’s, Merry’s, and Pippin’s development into heroes begin with Tolkien’s masterwork but also include recent interpretations of these characters in Peter Jackson’s cinematic adaptation and the currently running Toronto theatrical presentation. Professor Porter discusses how Tolkien presented these hobbits as heroes and how later adaptations have turned these beloved characters into heroes for our time. (60 minutes) Colleen Doran -- The Illustration Business How to get into the business of illustration, tips, advice, goals and benchmarks for the aspiring artist. (30 min) Colleen Doran— The Art of Illustration Drawing based on existing visual imagery vs. drawing from written descriptions vs. drawing from your own imagination. The use of models, existing video, photos, and archival research. (30 min) Michael Drout -- "From Beowulf to Middle-earth: Why Tolkien's Scholarship Matters." The two sides of J. R. R. Tolkien's life were not separate at all. His literary scholarship on medieval poems like Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was intimately connected to his invention of Middle-earth. In this interactive presentation Professor Drout shows how an understanding of Tolkien's "day job" as an Oxford professor can illuminate his imaginative creations. (60 min) Michael Drout -- "The Returns of Kings: From King Alfred to Aragorn" What makes a good king? This question has had many answers over the centuries. What made a good king in the year 750 might make a very dangerous king in the year 1954 -- or 2003. In this interactive presentation Professor Drout discusses the leadership of King Hrothgar, Beowulf, King Oswald, King Alfred and two Aragorns -- Aragorn of the books, and Aragorn as played by Viggo Mortenson. The differences between these kings show how Tolkien's--and our own--concepts of kingship have evolved over time, even from 1954 to the present. (45 min) Laura Cooper -- Tengwar I: Understanding the Alphabet After a brief historical introduction, Laura will walk you through each consonant, vowel, carrier and variation. She will also supply a course primer. (75 min) Laura Cooper -- Tengwar II: Understanding and developing sentences First, a brief review of the day before, and then a full immersion into writing Tengwar using another course primer supplied by Laura. (60 min) Laura Cooper -- Dwarf Runes I Much less complicated than Tengwar, Runes are easily applicable to the Latin alphabet. In one single class, Laura will take you through the dwarf alphabet as well as how to write in it. Dwarf primer will be distributed. (45 min) FIRST COME FIRST SERVE ON PRIMERS. THERE WILL BE A LIMITED SUPPLY AVAILABLE. Doug Adams -- Themes in Howard Shore’s Lord of the Rings Scores Two Oscars and millions in DVD sales later, people are still clamoring for more music and more information about the magical scores Howard Shore created for The Lord of the Rings movies. Join us for an exploration of the major and minor themes in these stirring musical works. There will be a brief Q&A to recap the FOTR box set that was released during the holidays, and then Doug will dive right into the ongoing work for the upcoming TTT box set. (75 min)

IS THIS A KISSING BOOK? Audience participation skits... Join fellow LOTR fans in an interactive skit called "Is This a Kissing Book?". The concept is easy, groups of fans will perform The Lord of the Rings as told with quotes from The Princess Bride. We'll split this up by books, performing about 15 minutes each day. This will allow a different group of people to perform each day. The scripts are already written, you just have to say the lines and listen to the audience laugh! We'll select a cast at the beginning of each day and set up a little practice time, with the readings to take place later on in the day!

DANIEL REEVE was a great guest at ORC 2006 and we're thrilled he is coming to ELF. One of the coolest items offered in the vendors room was collectibles created by Daniel. Look for more information on what he is bringing to ELF coming here soon!

THE DORK OF THE RINGS FINAL PREVIEW! "Dork of the Rings" mania is about to hit with the film's release in August! For now, you can check out this exclusive sneak preview of four scenes from the film, the movie trailer, and the 20-minute dorkumentary "Dorkers" hosted by "Ringers" filmmaker Cliff Broadway with special appearances by Kiran Shah ("Lord of the Rings"), Justin Long ("Galaxy Quest") and comedy music artist The Great Luke Ski ("Stealing Like A Hobbit"). We will also be screening the winning Dork fan film by the talented teenaged filmmaker team of sisters Ashlee & Rachel Scott who have been a huge hit with their films at LOTR conventions. You may visit our website at www.dorkoftherings.com

Here is the chance to pick up in-person autographs from favorite celebrities!

If you have purchased a separate John Rhys-Davies Autograph ticket bring it to the show and you can use it for John Noble instead, get a JRD autographed photo or get a refund.

Note: Patrons must bring an item for celebrities to sign. You can bring something from home or purchase a photo or other collectible in the vendors room.

Note: Guests appear ONE day of the convention, so therefore their autographing and/or photo ops take place that day, except in VERY rare occasions which will be noted. If you are not attending all days of the convention it is wise to wait until specific days of appearance are announced before purchasing autographs or photo ops. You must have an admission ticket to the convention to get autographs or photo ops.

PHOTO OPS

Professional photographer CHRISTOPHER SCHMELKE will be joining us again to take shots. His photos have won widespread acclaim: everyone loves their photos taken by CHRIS! (See samples above) Check our fan feedback section on our site under ORC 2006 to see comments on Chris and Creation's photo ops!
