Tigerlily, how was the Gathering? I hope you have time to tell us a bit about it!

I'll be attending the German Tolkien Society meeting this coming weekend, and there are definitely echoes of Birmingham involved: Alan Lee as guest of honor; the Greek Tolkien Society as guests (remember their wonderful tragic play?!); and renewing my aquaintance with German Society members I met in Birmingham last year. Unfortunately, Brian Sibley, who was to come as well, is ill and can't be there.

Another very nice detail - the young German artist Anke Eissmann, who displayed her paintings in Birmingham last summer, designed a T-shirt print for the occasion. Here it is: T-shirt
