Check out this massive Timeline for Tolkien fandom (it is still in its early stages ). Tolkien fandom is one of the few  literary/media fandoms and I think it is wonderful that espresso is putting so much work into it.

Dammit, I went to look at that and accidentally a new page in Fanlore. I see what you're doing here.

May: The first TolCon convention was held

And then had to make the TolCon page.
