There are no awards this year? Or have I missed something?

Sorry - but the awards did not get organised this year . . .

Will there be a potluck? (I love potlucks...)

Absolutely! Everyone is invited to bring and describe their favorite dish....

Sounds great, but I will miss the awards. It'll be a great evening anyway, though!

Potluck, eh? Hmm...

Ithaeliel · 05-01-2004, 12:02 PM

I will most certainly be there! Couldn't miss that party for the world! (what else is nice about this is that yesterday was my own 2nd anniversary as a BDer)

But, er, before I make myself appear an idiot in the party thread... what's a mathom?

Mathom

Quote:

An old word of the hobbit-dialect, not recorded as being in use outside the Shire. It was used to refer to any item that had no particular immediate use, but whose owner had no wish to throw away. Mathoms were often given as presents by the Shire-hobbits - an important part of their culture - or stored in the Mathom-house in Michel Delving.

--from the Encylopedia of Arda

Hope that helps!
