YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

***Mithadan*** · 04-22-2003, 07:05 PM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BARROW-DOWNS!

On May 1, 2003, the forums at the Barrow-Downs will reach the ripe old age of THREE! While the site itself is a bit older, the third anniversary of the opening of the forums is a cause to CELEBRATE!!!!! Therefore, we will have a PARTY in celebration of the third birthday (uh, death day?) of the Barrow-Downs forums and all members are invited!!!!!

This year’s party will include the presentation of the first Barrow-Downs Awards, known far and wide as the Downies. The celebration will begin with a red carpet entrance before guests enter the Grand Hall where the ceremonies will take place. Come in costume and in character assuming the proper flourishes and airs of the Barrow-Downs elite and don’t forget to strike a pose before the paparazzi; this may be your 15 minutes of fame. But remember, there may never again be so many Administrators, Moderators and Assistants assembled in one place at the same time again, so while the party will be fun and funny, don’t forget to maintain some slight sense of decorum.

PLACE: The Grand Hall of Minas Anor (the Gondor RPG forum in a thread to be opened there).

TIME: Thursday, May 1, 2003 beginning at 9:00am EDT until????

DRESS: Formal Middle Earth Wear.

There will be an open bar, and meals will served by our polite wait staff.

COME CELEBRATE THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE BARROW-WIGHT AND THE BARROW-DOWNS!

Gorwingel · 04-22-2003, 07:21 PM

I would of course never miss a grand event such as this, so I will definitely be there [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Note: It kind of shocked me when I came on to the B-D's and I saw the same topic posted in every forum, I did not really know what do do or what was happening, but this is really cool [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Eressië Ailin · 04-22-2003, 07:25 PM

Yes, when I first saw the same topic in every forum I thought something was wrong. But this is a good attention-grabber!

* I've already RSVPed. Wouldn't miss it for the world!

My Mama always told me I'd be a star.

I will be there in an Elven gown and a star upon my brow. What a wonderful time!

Beruthiel · 04-22-2003, 07:39 PM

Oh dear, I'd love to come but the time difference won't work [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
and I had the perfect dress and everything...

Lush · 04-22-2003, 07:44 PM

I will be on hand.

I will also try valiantly to remain as on hand as possible throughout playing world traveller this summer.

If anyone wants to send me money for internet cafes, they are welcome to do so at their earliest convenience.

Otherwise, I can hardly wait.

Durelin · 04-22-2003, 07:50 PM

Am I allowed to come? I just got in trouble with the 'law' and...????

"Thank you, I shall most certainly come."

Ransom · 04-22-2003, 07:57 PM

I'll certainly be there. Of course that means I might actually have to finish my homework ahead of time, but worse things could happen. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Btw, what's EDT?

Eastern Daylight Time. And for those concerned about time differences, last year's party lasted "several" weeks.

Ithaeliel · 04-22-2003, 09:01 PM

I will certainly be there! I remember the last one... oh, the nightmares I still have about it. This time I'll be a good girl; I promise! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-22-2003, 09:02 PM

Many thanks for the invitation. I will most certainly be there. I will even polish my saucepans and kettles for the occasion. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Oh, and can I bring my mirror-ball for the disco? [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Aw, nuts! Whose bright idea was it to open the forum early in May? The anniversary would be during finals every year! I ask you!

But finals or no, I will be there! After watching what happened last year, I wouldn't miss it for the world - or, at least, for calculus. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Oh thank God The Saucepan Man! I thought I'd be the only one not in Middle-earth attire! Now first I was thinking of wearing my kilt, but now I might just some in my regular overalls with my rake. And if The Saucepan Man gets to bring a disco ball, I get to bring my rake [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ! And Iarwain, you will be bringing your yellow boots, right?

Amanaduial the archer · 04-23-2003, 08:02 AM

I comtemplated writing an impolite variation on "Thank you, I most certainly shall attend", but then my better judgement thwocked me over the head with a flambé trout, and I decided on a more orthodox répondez s'il vous plaît.

I'll wear the family jewels, and you can count the carats as the multifaceted sparkle blinds you. In short, look for me on the morning of the 3rd anniversary, I'll be wearing diamonds to this party!

Helkahothion · 04-23-2003, 12:22 PM

Oh goody, my first aneversary, I can't wait for the party. What do you think? Shall I wear a wizard cloack, just so I can make fun of Harry Potter? Or maybe, a dragon hide. That would be fun. Decisions, decisions.

Gandalf_theGrey · 04-23-2003, 04:00 PM

As it chances, the Barrow Downs Birthday Party is scheduled for precisely the right time! The Castle Maladil RPG that I was in charge of in Gondor being freshly ended, that tale will soon take its place in the fabled archives of Elvenhome. Meanwhile, I see the Party as a great place to meet new adventurers who might be interested in participating in any RPGs that I create in the future.

So of course I'll be there ... fireworks and all. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Looking forward to the Barrow Downs festivities ...
while fondly looking backward to a certain virtual July picnic in Hobbiton ...
along with even more nostalgic memories of real in-person "ME2" get-togethers of the members of the Middle Earth computer bbs in days of old (also known as the late 1980's),

Gandalf the Grey

Galadrie1 · 04-23-2003, 04:19 PM

Ohhh boy, another birthday party here on the 'Downs... I can't believe it's been a year already since that last one! I'll probably attend, though RPing isn't my strong point (*cough cough* the last birthday party *cough cough*).

Ithaeliel · 04-23-2003, 04:35 PM

Are we permitted to possibly reminisce?

Galadrie1: Remember the constant spinning and sleeping? And the spiked Dr. Pepper? Oh, me... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Last year's birthday party was my first ever RPG. Now I look at my posts in there and think, "Who was this fool? She couldn't write worth a hill of beans!" It's amazing what this place has done for my writing.

Eressië Ailin · 04-23-2003, 04:46 PM

Well, I wasn't at the BD B-day party last year, but I was looking over the thread last night. I think everyone has improved their writing skills (not exactly sure how to word that)! I was reading one of Piosenniel's posts and I remember thinking, 'Pio? Was that you? Did you really type that?! Naw... it couldn't be...'

*Varda* · 04-23-2003, 04:59 PM

Ah, yes, even the Valar will show up for the party this year. I will be well behaved, of course *ahem*

I was skimming over the party thread from last year too, and yes, there is hope for us all [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The Castle Maladil RPG that I was in charge of in Gondor being freshly ended, that tale will soon take its place in the fabled archives of Elvenhome. Meanwhile, I see the Party as a great place to meet new adventurers who might be interested in participating in any RPGs that I create in the future. So of course I'll be there ... fireworks and all. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Looking forward to the Barrow Downs festivities ... while fondly looking backward to a certain virtual July picnic in Hobbiton ... along with even more nostalgic memories of real in-person "ME2" get-togethers of the members of the Middle Earth computer bbs in days of old (also known as the late 1980's), Gandalf the Grey

I can't believe it's been a year already since that last one! I'll probably attend, though RPing isn't my strong point (cough cough the last birthday party cough cough). __________________ "For this is what your folk would call magic, I believe; though I do not understand clearly what they mean; and they seem to use the same word of the deceits of the Enemy.

Galadrie1: Remember the constant spinning and sleeping? And the spiked Dr. Pepper? Oh, me... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Last year's birthday party was my first ever RPG. Now I look at my posts in there and think, "Who was this fool? She couldn't write worth a hill of beans!" It's amazing what this place has done for my writing. __________________ That best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love. .................William Wordsworth

Posts: 502	Well, I wasn't at the BD B-day party last year, but I was looking over the thread last night. I think everyone has improved their writing skills (not exactly sure how to word that)! I was reading one of Piosenniel's posts and I remember thinking, 'Pio? Was that you? Did you really type that?! Naw... it couldn't be...' __________________ Holy angel, in Heaven blessed...
