geekchickToday is Setting Orange, day 16 in the season of Bureaucracy, 3269.
Okay, so there's supposedly going to be a triple bill LOTR showing on Dec. 16-17. My sweetie is one of those folks who would happily sit in a movie theater for 11 or 12 hours to watch them all back to back, and I could probably be persuaded to as well, maybe. Thing is, if we schedule our London trip to coincide with the Oysterband show, that has us leaving on the 9th and returning on the 16th, and that's the only date range that will have us in London on the 12th. So...looks like we get to make a choice: humor the raving fanboy and go earlier so that we can be here for the LOTR showing, or humor the raving fangirl and stick to the plan of seeing the Oysters' 25th anniversary show? Heh.

Better to get the whole trilogy on DVD, and then have a Tolkien-fest in the comforts of your own home.
Anyway, like Brian said, live events ought to trump recorded ones. That's my two-cents-worth, anyway.

It took a couple of readings to stop saying to myself "why on earth would he think that saying I should skip the trilogy and go to London would be "not on my side"? Heh. Need...sleep...
And need details of apc10! Spill 'em when you've had time to recover. ;)

I don't think I'll have time to get to it before we head back out, as I'm doing large quantities of laundry tonight, but as soon as we get back, I promise.
