The countdown to “Trilogy Tuesday” continues…

Last night I was up until 4 AM, and tonight is looking like another late night. Nevertheless, the checklist is gradually getting more checks as the rush to get things done before the LotR Marathon intensifies. The advertising blitz has apparently begun as I’m noticing more new TV spots, each with some unique, brief glimpse at yet another awesome scene. I guess it would probably be a good idea to make a list of all the things I’ll need to take with me.

Tickets obviously top the list—can’t forget those. My Dad, the professional safety specialist, has suggested ear plugs, since 12 hours in a loud theater could cause permanent hearing damage. Every review I read seems to suggest that one ought to bring a box of tissues (for the tear-jerker death scenes) and a change of underwear (for the crap-your-pants battle scenes). I’m tempted to take Narsil, but I have no idea how I’d manage to get it into the theater.

So what else do I need? A cloak? Lembas? The One Ring? Post your suggestions in the comments.
