Excellent [In reply to] Can't Post

I need to fire up my copy of FOTR as we're about to head into book 2.

On March 25 in the year TA 3019, Barad-dûr fell, the One Ring was destroyed, and Sauron was vanquished. This is why we celebrate Tolkien Reading Day on this date each year, to commemorate the victory of good by reading some stories that are also good. But there is another event that occurred on March 25, also in Middle-earth (i.e., New Zealand), which is just as important to our imagination and dance skills: Richard O'Brien (creator of everything Rocky Horror) was born. Because remember, not all who wander are lost... especially when they jump to the left first.

And as you posted, its a multiple-geeky kind of day. Especially since so much of O'Brien's masterpiece character may have...I dunno...just maybe...inspired our Thranduil. *cough* Just a bit. Sly

Reading Day for Welly-moot, with thanks to Altaira. [In reply to] Can't Post

The Wellington branch of the Tolkien Society meets for Tolkien and coffee at the Embassy Cinema every other month on the last Sunday. Today was the day, so we had decided to devote the meeting to friendship, and Altaira made an unexpected appearance! One of the members had searched online for Tolkien friendship quotes, found her birthday mathom from TORN 2004 and brought them to us. So thank you, Lady Altaira! It was time well spent in an age now long past.
