I don't think that I can do it tomorrow, due to prom and dress shopping, but I'd love to go another time. If that's alright.

If we're going to do this today, it's probably time to get serious about it.

Troll scene from Hobbit - speakers required:

Narrator
Bilbo
William
Bert
Tom
Gandalf
*Thorin
*one or two other Dwarves
(* depending on how much context is to be included)

Aragorn's coronation - speakers required:

Narrator
Ioreth
Faramir
Aragorn
Gandalf
*Éomer
*Éowyn
*Frodo
(* if we go all the way to end of chapter)

Available speakers as of now:

?Pitch (see my last - we could of course do a bilingual version and have one of the Trolls speak German

)
?Esty (not sure whether she's familiarized herself with Skype yet)
Gwath (looks like it's going to happen sometime in the European evening, if at all, so with PST being 8 hours behind GMT IIRC you should be fine)
Legate
PrinceOfTheHalflings
Agan
?Might
Eönwë

Thanks for posting those, Pitch. I suppose you could always download the Hobbit as a PDF file but then, those are usually illegal... I don't know if it makes a difference that you only plan to use it for this and have bought a German copy, though. But naturally I wouldn't suggest anything that goes against the rules of the Downs, so if you can't get a copy of the Hobbit, we could just do the coronation?

I'll be home for the whole evening, most likely, so I'm fine with any time. How would something like 8pm BST (British Summer Time, GMT+1) sound? That'd be 12pm PDT (that's your timezone Gwath, right?).

Thanks for leading my innocent feet astray on the path of crime!

It's actually out there on the web as an online e-book... Illegal as hell, to be sure, but I guess my conscience wouldn't object to using that for a one-time purpose, and I'll swear a Feanorian oath not to download or save it and to delete the bookmark once we're done.

Perfect for me.

Aganzir · 04-24-2010, 10:25 AM

Alright... I wonder how many people are around later. I don't have any preferences about a role although I don't think I'd make a credible troll, for instance. If enough people show up I can just listen but if not, well, I can take whatever there's left.

Pitchwife · 04-24-2010, 11:54 AM

Right, I think I've just found out how to host a conference call. So anybody who is going to join and doesn't have their Skype name in their profile (which seems to be everybody but Agan, Gwath and me), just send me a Skype message (by clicking on the little Skype icon down under my avvie) so I can add you.

Pitchwife · 04-24-2010, 12:53 PM

Agan and me are online and having a little chat on Skype. Anybody else around?
Gwath, I've sent you a contact request, in case you haven't noticed.

12 pm PST? Great.

Aren't you on daylight saving time (which should be PDT as far as I know)?

Gwathagor · 04-24-2010, 01:10 PM

Oh. Maybe?

Oddwen · 04-24-2010, 01:35 PM

...hi! Mind if I jump in and be all awkward?
