Andy Serkis Book Signing Report

Filed under: Lord of the Rings, News — Gina @ 7:28 pm

words by Melonie
with contributions by Rachel

When Dorian Mirth first heard Andy Serkis was coming to Salt Lake City, we instantly tried to come up with ideas for some clever gift or other that we could give him as a small token of our thanks. It was some weeks before Rachel came up with the perfect idea: a Road Cone. (If this doesn’t make sense to you, please refer to “The Making of ‘The Long and the Short of It’” on the theatrical edition of The Two Towers DVD. Thank you.) The task fell to my shoulders, the only unemployed and graduated member, to go on a cone quest. After checking MANY stores, I finally found the perfect thing: a 2″ toy road cone.

But really the Q&A was the best part anyway for which I was almost front and center (having staked out a seat 2 hours before he arrived). Plus I was co-conspirator on a gift for Mr. Serkis that turned out very well:

A road cone.
