oakenguyRotK last night at the Fenway, thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ldyfyrefly and blamehazmat's kind invitation and canny ticket-scoring ways. And oh such a carnival of geekdom it was. Going in garb is one thing (so many people did that I started to recognize the scent of wet wool cloak and know someone in garb was behind me before I turned around); having running boffer fights in front of the screen, though? That's a whole 'nother level.
Oh, sidenote: if you find yourself in that situation, duct-tape sword in your hand, and a nine-year-old in a homemade Gimli costume comes up nervously and taps you with his/her axe? FALL DOWN.
Anyhow. It was my favorite movie of the three. All the characters had a chance to shine, there was an Orc commander with, gasp, a decent grasp of tactics (!!!), and oh oh oh, the Oliphaunts sequence is forever burned into my brain. WOW.
Another good thing is that the faculty seem to've taken me seriously when I told them that their receiving the exam scores and being able to leave for vacation would be contingent on how the office staff was treated during gift-giving season. :)
