What do you think Nogrod? I love Nogrod's Gimli, very much so, but Gandalf needs to sound in the same tone as Nogrod does...so I think it would be wise, if it came down to it, to cast Nogrod as Gandalf/Bilbo instead of Gimli/Bilbo if we had to. Again, let's see what Nogrod would prefer, and what everyone else thinks.

Also- I had an idea the other day. I'm not sure how many of you know about FACEBOOK - www.facebook.com - but it is a website, kind of like MySpace (although I think it better) where you can sign up and make your own page. Facebook used to be just college networking, but now anybody can join regardless of age. It is spam-free, unlike MySpace, and what I like most about it right now is the ability you have to create a Group. I already have two groups dedicated to two of my other main interests, and I was thinking that once we have a full cast and start the project it would be nice if we created a Facebook Group for our project. Not to sell it, only to share it and it also could be used as a secondary communications device aside from the BD. I was thinking of calling it something like "The Lord of the Rings - The Ring Goes South - A Barrow-downs Production". Don't worry about copyright laws, because there are countless Facebook groups dedicated to LotR and Tolkien already in existence.

Incase you aren't familiar with Facebook Groups, you can assign people in your group certain titles, and those show up on the side. For example, we can list every person involved and under their name display their title (ex: who they play in the production). I already have all of the details for the group worked out so if I get the approval of all involved I can commence, and then I will send you all the link via e-mail.

So, does everyone like this idea? Let me know!
