it gave me goosebumps.
I feel the same way about being here, although I only have met 1 sib, but hopefully that will change in October.
But TORn has become a very special part of my life, and not only Tolkien related, but so much more.
Thanks.

I do believe this is your first Fiesta. You do know that means *you're* buying.  
I hope you have an excellent weekend!

It's amazing how many people are ignoring work to post and read right now.
*looks furtively at co-workers*
When the other boards start to heat up, will there be links to lead to them, or at least, a note saying "go here for such and such game"?

So that's why you're giving "crew" cuts?
Has anyone gotten scared of the sight of you with hair-clippers and told you to "buzz off"?

WOW! 
Its party time!
I was late ... errr ... delayed - actually I had a nap, but I cant wait to have a look around and hang around.
This is going to be a fantastic weekend!
So a huge massive thankyou to everyone for all
the hard work  ,
the pain  ,
the tears  ,
the bleary eyes
the late nights,
the high blood pressure 
getting through the computer glitches 
your undying dedication
your wonderful creativity 
your devotion to us all 
May the days ahead be blessed!
and ... If the bars still open I'll have one of everything - no ice though.
Cheers

Now that's the way to celebrate!
You've got that right: Tolkien would have had a blast at this place! I can just imagine what he'd use for "Conspiracy Theories" and "Scenes from the Hat"...!

Whoa - you've got it like that huh? Smoozing, line jumping, country hoping. Ah greendragon, you’re an inspiration to jet-setting geeks all over! I guess you’ve got the wing span for it!
DCON is going to be amazing! AMAZING. I even conned a closet geek into getting to know the boards beforehand. Hope he delurks in time for DC – you know who you are! Too bad I waited to book a room – or rather, waited to call everyday to see if someone has cancelled.

*Raises glass to one who gives us her life's blood everyday*.
May she be blessed.:)
''What connects Nature to the spiritual, or requires the presence of the latter? In positive terms, as Alkis Kontos points out, when nature was still largely experienced as integral, alive and active, 'It was the spiritual dimension of the world, its enchanted, magical quality that rendered it infinite, not amenable to complete calculability; spirit could not be quanified; it permitted and invited mythologization.' And I would add, it still is and does.''
Patrick Curry-Defending Middle-Earth-Tolkien: Myth and Modernity - chapter: 'The Sea: Spirituality and Ethics.'
May the grace of Manwë let us soar with eagle's wings!
In the air, among the clouds in the sky
Here is where the birds of Manwe fly
Looking at the land, and the water that flows
The true beauty of earth shows
With the stars of Varda lighting my way
In all the realms this is where I stay
In the realm of Manwë Súlimo
