I hope to have a published book to promote by then, so I am planning to come. I also plan to sew an awesome new costume to show off!

What is it Esty, what is it, what is it, what is it.

I'm not telling. To quote Gandalf:

Quote:

Many folk like to know beforehand what is to be set on the table; but those who have laboured to prepare the feast like to keep their secret; for wonder makes the words of praise louder.

If it is what I think it is, it is a very clever idea, highly original and unique, superbly chosen. And with Esty's excellent seamstress skills, it will be very well done. (Hint: I don't think it will include spandex.)

Having blown all the holiday money (and expended a few carbon footprints) on a trip to Italy this spring, regretfully at this point I think I'll have to pass on Oxonmoot again this year. But I do want to attend one of these years. After all, I have an awesome teeshirt that needs to be introduced to Tolkien fans.

Can someone explain this to me. On the usual TS website the Oxonmoot page looks like this;

http://www.tolkiensociety.eu/oxon/index.html

It still says "Next Oxonmoot will be held in Oxford from the 25th to the 28th of September 2008 in Christ Church", which is last year's Oxonmoot.

However, if you do a Google search for 'Oxonmoot' you can find this page;

http://www.oxonmoot.org/index.php

Which says "Oxonmoot 2009 will take place at Lady Margaret Hall from 25th September 2009 to 27th September 2009".

Has the TS made a separate website for Oxonmoot then?

You're no fun Esty. So I'm not going to tell you which Blue Wizard beginning with P I'm going as this year...................

Oxonmoot bookings are now open!!

http://www.tolkiensociety.org/oxon/

I just booked my place and must now turn my thoughts to costumes. It will take a lot to beat last year's one; Tolkien, I think.

But I will try!
