LOTR blu-ray - or I know that crazy person

I don't own a blu-ray player, so I wasn't lining up for another version of the LOTR DVD's. I already own two - the original and the extended. *sigh* Hey - it's not as many times as I own the SW original trilogy ..... (I think the count is at 6)

However in reading this article Fans Line Up for 'Lord of the Rings' Blu-ray

This line leapt out at me:
"That may seem like commitment, but Nicole Roberts had them all beat. The Texas native, dressed as a Balrog Showgirl, took home the prize of the night: an all-expense-paid “Lord of the Rings” trip to New Zealand. "

I KNOW that crazy fan!!!! LOL!! I MIGHT have seen that costume too (or an early version of it). I actually met Nicole in New Zealand on the LOTR tour I did in 2003. Since the tour she moved to LA and got involved with a costume group. I usually see her at the SD Comic Con masquerade - which her group has won numerous times.

Go NICOLE!

If you're asking if we think you're nuts, the answer is yes but it has little to do with buying a Blu-ray when you don't have a blu-ray player.

I didn't (honest). I fingered the package in the store, I admit that. But I don't need another version.

Ha, I know you. You're gonna think about buying a Blu-ray player just for LOTR then, after a few months of deep thought and wibbling, you'll buy the player while saying "Oh, I need to update my teck stuff anyway," THEN.... LOTR.
