Theoden and Eowyn are transformed!

A high spot of my evening. John Rhys Davies - a thoroughly NICE man, even if he does tickle you. BTW he is feeling better, but not fully recovered yet, from the accident.

Sean Astin as master of ceremonies for the celebrities. He announced that his documentary film, "The Long and Short of It", should be on the TTT DVD release this summer.

The cast and crew on stage at the party with their Oscars. Quickbeam (TORN), Michael Hopkins (sound editing), Andy Serkis, Craig Parker, Sean Astin, (unidentified person), Randy Cook (special effects), Dominic Monaghan, Joe Letteri (special effects). The huge TTT backdrop was an item in the silent auction. Yes, somebody actually bought it, along with several other items.

Some of the cast and crew that showed up with their oscars. Dom, Billy, Michael Hopkins & Bruce Hopkins, among others.

Sean Astin and Barrie Osbourne with Peter Jackson on the cell phone.

Emerald Rose - Brian "Logan" Sullivan. Billy Boyd played Logan's guitar briefly. I guess its a collectable now.

Emerald Rose - Arthur Hinds. IMO a band can't have too many Bodhran solos. Sean Astin seems to agree, he played on this one.

Emerald Rose - Larry Morris. Played Tin whistle and percussion.

Emerald Rose - Clyde Gilbert. These guys are a great band for a party!
