 Is this an 'official' Oscar or New Line Cinema party?
NO. This is not an official Oscar or New Line Cinema party. "Two Towers - One Party" came about when a group of dedicated TheOneRing.net fans in Los Angeles decided to hold an event to celebrate four things: The amazing success of last year's "One Party to Rule them All", the eleven Oscar Nominations for Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, and their favorite website TheOneRing.net. This event has been completely organized by the fans and truly lives up to TheOneRing.net's motto "Forged by and For Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien."

What does the cost of the party include?
The cost of the party is $75 per person if you purchase your tickets before February 2nd, 2003. Included in the ticket price is FREE beer, wine, coffee, tea, soft drinks and buffet throughout the entire event. (4:00pm - 1:00am) Your money will also be used to fund the live entertainment. The remainder of the money will go to purchasing bandwidth for TheOneRing.net, which we desperately need to survive the millions of fans hitting the website. As with all other revenue generated on TheOneRing.net, extra money will be donated to our sponsored charities. Attendees will also receive a gift bag when they leave the party.

Will the stars be there?
We must be perfectly clear and say that no celebrity, cast or crew member have guaranteed their presence at our party. However, we hear through the grapevine, that because our party is the only Lord of the Rings celebration of the night, the possibility is high for some VIP appearances.

If a celebrity shows up, can we ask for autographs?
The Two Towers - One Party is meant to be just that, a party. Please do not ask any celebrities or VIPs for their autograph during the event. After all, if any celebrities do show up, they are there to relax and enjoy themselves, just like you and me. However, photography will be allowed, so feel free to bring your cameras to the event. Any attendee caught asking for autographs will be immediately removed from the party by security.

Can I bring a video camera?
Unfortunately ONLY still cameras will be allowed into the party. TheOneRing.net's TORn Digital crew will be there, filming a documentary. If the filming is successful, we'll be able to offer the documentary to TORn fans worldwide. If you arrive at the party with a video camera, you will be asked by security to put the camera in your car. If you do not, you will be removed from the party.

So what exactly does "Black Tie and Pointy Ears Optional" mean?
This is a Hollywood Oscar Party, and we would like for the fans attending to really get into the spirit by dressing up. Black Tie optional means that if you have a Tux, or an Evening Gown, wear it. (TheOneRing.net staff will be dressed to the max!) If you do not have that, go with the next best thing. This does not mean you should dress down at all. Security will not allow you into the party if you do not meet the dress code. You are also welcome to attend in costume, with limitations. If you do decide to attend in costume, please limit your costume creativity to ONLY Lord of the Rings AND please read our Costuming FAQ to ensure you are within the standards for the party.

How big is the venue?
The Hollywood Athletic Club can hold 1500 people comfortably. We are only selling tickets for 800 people. There will be plenty of room to move around. And just for your information, The H.A.C. is a classy nightspot with several dance halls and billiard rooms -- it is not a health club!

Where do we park?
Self Parking is available on Schraeder St. right around the corner from our party. The Hollywood Athletic Club is located on the corner of Schraeder and Sunset Blvd. The parking cost $6 - $10 depending upon the lot you choose. There will be a limited amount of free parking available directly behind the Hollywood Athletic Club. We purchased the lot for attendees to our party, but get their early, as we are sure it will fill up quickly.
