Moot in NYC when the Tolkien exhibit comes to the Morgan Library?
|
Can't Post
|
|
It arrives near the end of January 2019; looks like they usually keep their exhibits for three months. I was planning on visiting my niece in Brooklyn sometime in March, but no firm plans yet; would be great to work in a Moot.

I'm waiting to see the beginning and ending dates. Once we have that information we can work on a Moot.
Flights can be tricky in January and February with winter weather, so my preference would be March - might still be cold, but less likely people are stranded.

If we are targeting March, I would avoid the weekend of March 16-17. That's St Patrick's Day weekend and the city will be packed.

Easter is April 21 next year. Either works for me right now.

Seeing "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" Saturday afternoon/evening (it's a two-parter), church at St. John the Divine Sunday morning, so will be going to the exhibit either Friday, Saturday am, or Sunday afternoon.

How does the afternoon of Friday, April 19 sound?

My other option is Sunday afternoon, the 21st.
The museum also serves high tea - that might be a fun thing to do before or after touring the exhibit.

That's "Good Friday", which we actually get off from work. Sunday is Easter, a busy day for me.
NYC is a 3-hour trip on the commuter rail, 2.5 on Amtrak, but the schedules look good for spending a long day there! 
They serve high tea? That sounds lovely!

I wish I could do it all with you! If you decide on the high tea, don't forget to make reservations. Food is such a part of any Middle-earth experience, it would be a shame to leave hungry. 
Have a blast!

I am working with some former TORNfolk on a visit, and I'm hoping to persuade them to choose this weekend. a.s. wants to come, which would be amazing, and maybe erather and nerdanel. It really depends on a.s. because she needs a friend to travel with her. Maybe I'll have to make two trips!

Sounds like it's a matter of how many will make it, but it sounds like you, me, entmaiden, and dernwyn are in for Friday afternoon, and that's enough to start making serious plans!
I'm looking forward to meeting you, having enjoyed your posts immensely all these years.

Can't get off work Friday and celebrating the holiday on Sunday, so unfortunately if it's not Saturday I'm out for the Moot if we're talking Easter weekend. I will get there at some point though!

Saturday we have tickets for "Harry Potter & The Cursed Child," which involves both afternoon & evening shows. And tea, of course, is only served in the afternoon. Sounds like Sunday afternoon is not possible for most folks.
(People may still be able to get tickets to the play, hint hint)

March 16 at the Morgan
Speakers:
John Garth
Nicholas Birns
Christopher Vaccaro
Kristine Larsen
Leslie Donovan
March 17 at Baruch College
Speakers:
Jason Fisher
David Bratman
David Emerson
Kristine Larsen
Nicholas Birns
Robin Anne Reid
Janet Brennan Croft
Megan Abrahamson
Chris Vaccaro
Leslie Donovan
Chris Tuthill
Ryder Miller
Peter Grybauskas
Plus a performance by John DiBartolo and the Lonely Mountain Band.
I don't know if Birns, Donovan, Larsen, and Vaccaro are giving the same or different papers each day.
The Baruch event is coordinated by Jessica Burke and Anthony Burdge, who ran at least two previous conferences in NYC in 2015 and 2016. I attended the latter (where I finally met the most prolific contributor to the J.R.R. Tolkien Encyclopedia).

were part of those long-ago Toronto Moots. I know they've been active on the NY-area Tolkien groups for many years.

I know I stopped posting here much a few years back -- growing family takes up a lot of time! I poke my head in every now and then though. In any case, I've been trying to figure out when I can get up to New York to see this. Initially I was looking at trying to make a trip this week to see the lecture by Hammond and Scull, but that didn't work out. Sometime later in the spring then. If I can get a date sorted out I will let others know in case anyone else will be there as well! I'll look into that April 19th date specifically and see if that will work.
For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars, and so on -- while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man, for precisely the same reasons. -- Douglas Adams

This was reported by John Rateliff, editor of Tolkien's Hobbit manuscripts, in this post to his blog.

Probably going to get to go the prior Sunday before your meetup.
Excited that I’m going to make it up there at all though, and I’m looking forward to it!
