Sigh. This makes me happy. I remember seeing all the videos during the premiers of the LotR and the parades they had there in Wellington. What I wouldn't give to live in NZ. I have a friend who lives in Hamilton - real close to where they built the Shire (her grandparents were Hobbit extras in the 1st movie, too - haha), but the grandeur of all the Middle Earth posters and banners and other such Middle Earthy things in Wellington makes me quite jealous of where you live.
