Tickets for this event will go on sale Tuesday, November 3, 2009 at noon!

This all-day event is an annual Alamo tradition as old as the ancients...or whenever RETURN OF THE KING came out. Each year we must gather to recount the epic quest of the hobbit Frodo and his merry band of dwarfs, wizards, elves and Viggo's. We snuggle up together and watch the entire LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY - nearly 12 hours - and get loaded to the gills with food, beer and wine all inspired by Tolkien's Middle Earth!

Each of the seven(!) courses is served during each Hobbit meal time! By the time the King (spoiler alert!) ascends to his rightful throne, you too are ready to go back to the Shire and be greeted as a hero by your loved ones who didn't think you would make it all the way...and then pass out. Epic

DISCLAIMER: The first two films will be the "director's cut" versions in 35mm, while the third will be the original theatrical release in 35mm. The "director's cut" of the third film was only released in DVD format, but the story goes that by the third film, Jackson had almost complete creative control... so, the theatrical cut is really like a director's cut. Based on this, we've decided to go 35mm all the way through, because it's just too pretty to pass up!
