   "Pea, tarragon & ricotta pithivier (v)
   Char grilled asparagus, tomato petals & mixed leaf salad."

This... is a "main course"...? I think I'll pass. ;-)

I have no idea what a tomato "petal" is. I guess this is what you call 
"posh nosh". LOL!

Dude... I thought nerds being obsessed with Lord of the Rings was just a
stereotype. I didn't realise people actually *go to shows about* this stuff!

Um... firstly, I wasn't aware this was actually a stereotype. 
Secondly... have you *heard* the score? It's pretty damned good. (And 
I'm a musician.) I'm not sure how having the film projected in HD will 
work though... hmm.

Sorry, but I couldn't resist. :-)
I haven't heard the score yet. (I am a musician too, 2 music majors in 
college.) I will keep my ears out for it though.

Yeah, fair enough.

I have the score on CD. It's quite impressive. (Although I will admit 
that when you're watching the film, you don't notice it nearly as much.)

I wonder if there are cheaper seats, those look to be box seats, but RAH 
has seats for mere mortals as well.

I've got the complete recordings set (all three films), and the music is 
incredible.  Shore demonstrates a wide variety of styles and did a 
surprisingly good job with it.

You're working hard to get your nerd membership card revoked, aren't you?

Yes, these are corporate hospitality seats. If you just want to see the 
Two Towers, tickets start from a mere £18.50.

That's cool.  We may have to start looking for plane tickets. :-)
