Sci-Fi Geeks

Can I just say that I always forget just exactly how into a theme some sci-fi geeks can get?

I attended the "Lord of the Rings Symphony" with my brother, roommate and a friend tonight.

There were people - audience members - in costume. To attend a symphony. And not just one or two in costume, but dozens.

We took pictures - the sneaky kind where you stand in front and off to the side of what you're actually trying to photograph. My roommate even asked one particularly elaborately costumed person to pose with her. He obliged, in between skulking around corners to startle people arrived to attend the symphony.

I'll upload the pictures when I get a chance. But for the moment, I'm finding infinite amusement in remembering the rather goofy looking people scattered amidst those dressed up to attend the symphony.

"Goofy looking people amidst those dressed up to attend the symphony"? You're absolutely right, Lisa. It's totally goofy going to the LOTR symphony without being dressed up in a costume. Good thing you went as Galadriel, or you might have stuck out like retro Madonna get up...:)
