Tolkien 2005 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

narfforc · 05-28-2005, 06:51 AM

The time is drawing near when Middle-Earth shall blaze into the Glorious Summer of England ,unless it rains, which it usually does, then the breath of Manwe and the rain of Ulmo will be warm on the faces of The Faithfull.

I have been thinking of how we are going to recognise each other, so without setting up an elaborate system of Cold War spy codes, I will act as a starting point. I will be wearing a black t-shirt, which has THE BARROW-DOWNERS in big white letters written on the back, if you are going please introduce yourself then I can introduce you to others. I promise not to bite (I am only Half-Orc).
I am looking forward to this event, and have already started my costume (Pallando) I didnt want to copy anything from the films. Hope to see as many as possible, commiserations to those who live too far away, but hopefully you will have some form of celebration at the appropriate time.

I have also begun sewing my costume, a wine-red Arwen style dress, but I certainly won't be wearing that during the daytime! It might be a good idea for those of us who are attending to PM each other for our real names, as I assume most will have those, not nicks, on their badges. I do own one of the Downs T-shirts, but I don't actually wear it, since green does not become me at all.

For those who want to take part in the Costume Extravaganza, it's a good idea to contact the address given in the booklet in advance - they are doing that event in big style, with a catalogue of the costumes, so want pictures by the end of June.

Here's a list of those who are planning to attend, as far as I know - if there are more, please post here to let the rest of us know!
