Armitage fun this afternoon at TORn
I have a frightening list of things to do today, and probably won’t blog, at least not until the evening at the very earliest. Mom and I are going for her first longer walk outside the house — to the closest mall, since the temperature outside would probably forbid more than ten steps — and she is really excited. Me too. However, I wanted to remind everyone — how could we forget?? — that TORn is covering Comic-Con, with the panel for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, in which Richard Armitage is scheduled to participate, taking pride of place in its live coverage of the event this afternoon at 2:30 US Pacific Time.
I’m leaving comments open in case I don’t get to see it, so people can tell me what they thought. My main question:
BEARD OR NO BEARD ????!!!!!?????
And my second question, as always: Does he look happy? Yesterday afternoon, I saw a picture of Ian McKellen at Joshua Tree, and wondered whether there had perhaps been a joint outing.
[TORn is 100 percent volunteer and fan supported, so if you have enjoyed their coverage of the event you might leave them a donation. Buttons available on their page.]

Here are the details of the initiative.




Good luck to both you and your mom @ the mall outing.
Thinking of both of you and sending lots of healing vibes your way.
Sorry to hear about the heat in the US. It’s a very tepid 60 degrees and rainy here in London.
I hope you have a good outing with your Mom. Sometimes even a little road trip can cheer the soul.
I live 45 minutes from Joshua Tree and I thought the same thing about Richard Being there with Ian McKellen. So close!
it was a fun think to contemplate, wasn’t it, Patti?
