:: Emily sent in her Elijah encounter when she met him last June.. Check out the pic she got and her encounter:
My name is Emily and I had an Elijah encounter in NYC this past June. I was with a large group of friends when he passed us on the street. I was like, whoa was that????? We ran up to him at a street corner while he was trying to catch a cab. At first I was scared to tap him. I was like "Um, Elijah?" and he turns around eating this huge cookie. "Oh, hold on" he says, and turns around, cramming it into his mouth. I asked if we could have a picture and he very politely said sure, even though it was obvious he was in a hurry. I jumped right in next to him, handed someone a camera and there it was! As I was walking away, it occurred to me that I didn't even get an autograph! I ran back and grabbed the trip itinerary out of my purse. It was the only thing I had on hand. I asked him quickly if I can have an autograph. He again obliged, and asked me my name. "Emily" I said, shaking with excitement! He asked me where I was from. "Houston," I blurted. "Shit! Houston! There you go." I thanked him and ran away in total happiness. "We just met Frodo!" was all we could talk about as we rode the elevator up the Empire State Building. The autograph read "Emily, much love, Elijah Wood" :):)
:: It's cake madness lol :p -- Check out this pic of a cake Caldir had for her 16th birthday lat year - how cool!!

Jessica sent this along [BTW, if you can somehow get caps of this - pleeeease send em along ;)] -- I was watching my son play his Lord Of The Rings: Return of the King video game and he found that on there is video of Dom, Elijah & Billy talking about each other's abilities (or lack thereof) regarding video game playing. As always they are hilarious to watch.

You are in no way required to, so please don't feel pressured to, but if you do i can assure you that 100% of the funds will go to funding ejwsites.net and will not go to any of us personally.
