Today's Photo: Howard Shore

Time to raise my nerd status a little bit. Last year I went to London to see the LOTR symphony conducted by Howie. It was very good.

So, all-in-all, another big success for Howard Shore and the orchestra, with many satisfied, even ecstatic, fans from all over the country and even outside the UK very glad indeed that they'd made the trip to 'the big city'.

Since I am a man of great personal wealth we had box seats and besides from taking that picture I think I was in spitting range from Mr Shore himself but I easily restrained myself. Would never dream about doing such a thing against such a nice man.

Howard Shore is a very nice man [...]

I was also afraid that the real hardcore fans would have eaten me alive.
