There’s even a Tolkien connection to this specific date as it is Tolkien Reading Day! For those of you who live in Middle-earth, this is the day that the One Ring is destroyed in the fires of Mt. Doom and Sauron fell!

Last night was the PAX East Turbine Party. This wasn’t a press event, just a fun time organized by Turbine for some fans. It was originally planned for Merric to attend the party while I stayed and cared for Baby Hobbit who is here in Boston with us. After our epic 12 hour drive from Michigan, Merric conked out on the bed and so I got ready to attend the party instead.
I have to say that I truly had a fantastic time. Meeting up with fellow Turbine enthusiasts and being greeted by fans of CSTM was nothing but pure rapture for me. I also learned that there’s quite a few Turbine fans who don’t drink and were gracious enough to give me their free drink token (may not have been the best idea as I got louder as the night wore on).

I am personally glad to see that this is going on! It will help that final push for my Minstrel to get level 50!

Valentine’s day is coming to Middle-Earth! Join the celebrations, as we celebrate tales of love all across the land. Whether you already have found that special someone in your life or are still looking for him/her, take part of the festivities and spread the love.
Get inspired by the Song of Beren and Luthien, as there’s nothing better then music to speak of love! Find yourself a lute and sing to your lover, to all the ladies at the Pony, or even better, get paid to sing for someone else.
My little hobbit Cassyan used to offer her minstrel services in exchange of a few coins, and made quite a nice pile of gold out of it! Visit our Music Guides if you’re looking to learn how to become a LOTRO musician. Here are some of her favourite love songs, with lyrics and ABC music sheets. Feel free to adjust the lyrics to your own story!

All my fellow hobbits (and I guess the other races too) rejoice as today is National Pie Day! Created by the American Pie Council, January 23rd is the day to celebrate all things pie!
There are plenty of things to do in Middle-earth surrounding pie that you could do to celebrate:
If you’ve already completed all of these, how about following Kia’s recipe for a Spiced Apple Pie to enjoy while playing LOTRO!
