After reading the last two posts, I know what you're thinking:

Northeast Regional Role-Playing Game, Comic Book, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Convention Performer Of The Year, 1996-1998 and 2001?!?! What happened to 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2003???

Aragorn Friedman, that's what happened. You read me right. The guy had his first name legally changed to Aragorn back in 1997 - he had a hunch I guess. Maybe a pal at New Line. Who knows.
