Nothing that interests me here

Nothing that interests me here

me neither. BOBW usually has lotr cast members, but not this time...

[Choice of Lúthien]

me neither. BOBW usually has lotr cast members, but not this time...

Their July convention is a LOTR themed one. But, its also the last LOTR convention they'll be doing. Not sure on the logic...They don't have the best guest list for their July one--a lot of extras. Is the interest in LOTR dying down?? Or can they just not get the stars they need to make enough money? 

[Trey]

Nothing here that interests me either
