This (see below) has been running in the Film Score Monthly "Film Score Friday" columns, but I know some of you don’t read the FSM main page on a regular basis, so I thought I’d repeat it here. Please consider dropping by! Response has been great so far; we should have a pretty diverse group and an interesting collection of opinions.

Attention Chicago area readers: Are you interested in joining the next FSM Forum discussion?

On Friday, October 8th and Saturday, October 9th, Doug Adams will be joining Howard Shore on stage at the Chicago premiere of The Lord of the Rings Symphony: Six Movements for Orchestra and Chorus. (See www.ticketmaster.com for tickets.) That weekend, Doug, Jon Kaplan and Al Kaplan will be live and in person in Chicago to host a special Film Score Monthly Forum discussion dedicated to Shore's music from Lord of the Rings -- complete with a few special surprises!

If you plan to be in downtown Chicago and would like to pick our brains, share your thoughts, and see your comments here in a future article, please send an email to DAdams1127@aol.com for details.
