Loyal subjects flock to 'Rings' finale:

There weren't many costumed characters in the crowd -- fewer than two dozen -- none representing Gollum, Orcs, or other characters from the darker side of the movie. The best evil character award went to Jazz Stafford, who immediately lodged a protest.

"I'm not even wearing a costume," said Stafford, who was visiting town from Louisiana with his band, Colour Spire, and was given a ticket by a friend. "This is pretty insane."

On the other hand, I still think the idea of

comikaze dressed up as Gollum is, well, a rather precioussss thing :-) I'm sorry I missed seeing his performance.

...You realise, of course, that I'm now imagining an extra scene from a special edition LotR DVD set that has Hobbits partying up in Gondor in a nightclub scene, with thumpy techno-goth music playing in the background. It sounds like an

mc_smeagol gig if ever there was one:

"Uh, can you play A Elbereth Gilthoniel..?"

"Stupid elvesses! Stupid filthy smarmy elvesses! We hatess it! Stupid stupid song! Go away or we plays more Headhunter remixssses! Now **** off!"
