Minimoot at German Tolkien Seminar
The German Tolkien Seminar takes place in Aachen this coming weekend, and several Downers will be attending. As far as I know, they are: Guinevere, Mirkgirl, Novatlan, shadowfax, and myself, Estelyn. Have I missed anyone? I look forward to being there - the programme is interesting, and the people are always wonderful.

Please pass on my greetings to Thomas and the other Walking Tree folks, Estelyn, and also to Becky and Marcel--and of course to the other Downers there. The Seminar looks very interesting and I wish I could have attended. Not quite a Great Eagle operation, though.

The five of us who were in Aachen on Sunday managed to get together at least long enough to take a picture!



(Novatlan, Estelyn, Mirkgirl, shadowfax, Guinevere)

It was a very good weekend, with interesting lectures on a wide range of LotR adaptations in various media. Novatlan and I lectured on music in versions of the story, and there were talks on the movies, various gaming systems, fan fiction, etc.

I'm so sorry I hadn't read that you would be there, Findegil - we would have loved to meet you personally and include you in our collection of Downers! Please do post to let us know how you liked the seminar.

That is what happens if you do not spend the full time at the seminar. As told I had another appointment on Sunday. And since I was not willing to stay in Aachen over night, I also missed the first two sections on Saturday and both conference dinners (which might be the greater loss).
I was positively astonished how interesting I found the lectures. Adaptations are in now way my favorite theme discussing Tolkien’s work. Most interesting for people like me, who do not love the films so much, was of course 'Annie Brinks: Peter Jackson’s Adaption of The Lord of the Rings: Cash or Kudos?' The results from here questioner were stirring some hope for future Tolkien fandom.

I hope that next time the date for the seminar does not fall together with the Düsseldorf marathon as it has done the last view years. I would love to attend the seminar in full length. (And since I know now who you are, it might be easier to get together next time.)

Unfortunately, Novatlan and I held our lectures on Sunday morning. The musical adaptations are also a fascinating topic! Better luck next time - and if you run the marathon, you must be a candidate to join the Three Hunters!
