Gandalf World Tour starts at Comic-Con 2011
TheOneRing.net has been formally presenting discussion about the Lord of the Rings films and The Hobbit for a decade at places like Comic-Con and DragonCon. So it was natural that in San Diego this year at Comic-Con, TORn announced the fan-driven Gandalf World Tour. The idea is to get a pair of statues of Gandalf in the hands of fans across the United States and Europe and one of the biggest popular culture events in the entire world seemed like the perfect place. With a standing-room-only crowd gathered at the very opening of Comic-Con’s programming schedule to hear about The Hobbit, the group also was the first to hear the plan presented and the first to get the details on how to participate. Already dozens of people from the enthusiastic crowds have...
What is the Gandalf World Tour?
Gandalf is touring the world! In a global event that exploded at the San Diego Comic-Con in 2011, two statues of everybody’s favorite wizard will be seeking photo ops in spots suitable for a fantasy icon in the real world.

Look for more detailed suggestions soon. Who can participate? YOU can! We intend Gandalf to be passed around, photographed and handed off as much as possible at recognizable...
