"A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day."

E3 attendees that visit the WBIE Booth (South Hall, #2401) and participate in a demo of The Lord of the Rings: War in the North will receive a wrist band, granting them entrance to these nightly concert and cocktail receptions.
