Tolkien event today!

[thrihyrne]

For any of you on my flist who are into Tolkien or who might just generally be into fandom/writing (slashy or not), I'm going to be doing a somewhat slightly tardy celebration of my birthday with fellow Tolkienites at this all-day event at the Kennedy School/McMenamin's. I probably won't be there for the whole day; RotK remains my least favorite movie, but we'll see. I should be there for movies one and two and, of course, the costume contest! I'll be in my Éowyn gown which I think you've all seen (pic is here). For anyone local who's not met me in person, that's what I look like, though now I have short hair. I'd love to win the contest, but even if not, it should be fun.

I'll be doing some packing after that and doing most of my move tomorrow. No tension here at the house where I am now, thankfully, and I've just arranged for new internet service at the new place, which will kick in on Tuesday. I'll be able to check email and stuff on Monday down at my friends' house, thankfully, because iti's a holiday!! I don't have that much stuff, so unpacking shouldn't be a real trial. I may take Monday to be mostly AFK and to do some serious writing, if possible.

Eeek! It's already 9:40. The first movie starts at 11:00, but I need to type up some stuff, get in costume, and drop off a few things at the new house and make sure the friend going with me is up and awake and whatnot. ;) More later tonight as I report in!

Have fun, dear!!

Thanks much! It was quite fun, and now I think I'm going to watch selected scenes from RotK here at home on my computer, in my comfy sweats. ;)

Why didn't they put the costume contest between movies, instead of in the middle of TTT? Well, have fun anyway!

Well... until I got over to the contest and realized it was in a completely different room, I saw why they did it that way. It's all right; TTT is my favorite movie. While I haven't seen it in theaters as often as I did Fellowship, I've seen TTT the most with my own DVDs. I've decided to watch a few scenes of RotK here now, with the wind howling outside. I think I need to see the lighting of the beacons, hear Pippin sing, and maybe a couple of other things. Having recently written about the Rangers, and Halbarad in particular, I'm missing them from the films. Still, there was applause and cheering today during that scene at Helm's Deep when the Elves Not Appearing In This Book™ showed up in TTT, and I was right there with them. :P

Thanks, dearie! It was fun, though now my backside is sore from sitting in a non-comfy chair for many hours. It will recover, no doubt. ;)

OMG - that sounds like a lot of fun, where are the transporters when you need them? Or my kingdom for a wand!

I know!! I called you during the fest, because I really missed you and Wolfie. Hope that you two had a good day; I was thinking about you. What fun it would be to attend something like this with you two!! (((hugs)))
