Lord of the Rings marathon ideas

So, tomorrow is the big day! 10.5 hours, at least, of LOTR madness. I took all my plates and glasses down to the clubhouse. This is probably boring to my regular friends reading, but I thought I'd put all the details of my plans and ideas up for anyone else wanting to hold a LOTR marathon. I bought an extra chair on Craigslist, a little rocker, after trying to get some cheap bean bag chairs. (there will be 11 of us; it would be pretty cool if there were 9, like the fellowship; I would advise this for anyone else :)

It's potluck, and it's vegetarian, but here is our menu, and how I'm spinning it. I created description tags for these, using the ElvenCommonSpeak font.

• mini-donuts (from Hobbiton)
• jewel-shaped ice (from Mines of Moria--you'd need a mold for this)
• popcorn (from the Misty Mountains--I was thinking like snow)
• croissants (to be lembas, from Lothlorian)
• beer (from Bree; specifically from the Prancing Pony, where it comes in pints)
• wine (from Rivendell. I feel like elves would in reality be teetotalers, but I bet if they DID make alcohol, it would be very fine. The wine is from New Zealand, obviously)
• fruits and cheese (from the Shire)
• vegetarian chili (I'm just calling this from Middle Earth because it seems good and wholesome)
• chocolate chip cookies (from Gondor, the lands of men. Who's to say men didn't enjoy a good cookie back then?)
• Various snack foods (from Rohan...because they would need stuff for the road)
• coffee and tea (hmmm... I didn't think of where this could have come from. Any ideas?)
• Breakfast tacos (these, clearly, are from Texas)

I also changed my ringtone to The Bridge Of Khazad Dum because that starts out with the theme of the movies. I also made a mix CD for everyone, and it goes like this:

1. Machinae Supremacy (song:Hybrid)
2. Led Zeppelin (song:Misty Mountain Hop)
3. Emiliana Torrini (song:Gollum's Song)
4. Genesis (song:Stagnation; there's a line in here that's supposedly about Gollum)
5. Rush (song:Rivendell)
6. Annie Lennox (song:Into the West)
7. Led Zeppelin (song:The Battle Of Evermore)
8. Enya (song:May It Be )
9. Nickel Creek (song:In the House of Tom Bombadil)
10. Blind Guardian (song: Lords Of The Rings)
11. Bo Hansson (song:At the House of Elrond and the Ring)
12. Gandalf (song:The River of Permanent Changes V)
13. The Lord Of The Rings (song:The Council Of Elrond)
14. Styx (song:Lords Of The Ring)

I am ready for this marathon!!!!!!!!11111 And unashamedly so. Except now I feel like I'm waiting for Christmas, when J will get here in the morning to help me set up. He offered his card table and TV trays so I didn't have to rent a table to put all the food on.
