No problem, happy to see this all worked out well in the end.

I'm the caretaker for our student hostel for this semester unfortunately and we had some technical difficulties in our house, so I had to take care about it and could not attend.

Looking forward to next time though!

Can't believe I missed this! Dang dang dang.

Count me in for the next session.

Aganzir · 08-08-2010, 01:34 PM

So TGEW and I (+Greenie, Volo & skip) are online. How about you others?

Hookbill the Goomba · 08-08-2010, 01:46 PM

I'm on line. May be called away soon, but will do what I can.

Pitchwife · 08-08-2010, 02:08 PM

Present.

Aganzir · 08-08-2010, 02:34 PM

The three of us Finns + the Swede are online as well as TGEW, Pitchwife, Eönwë and Loslote. Hookbill & Lauri should join us shortly. Haven't started yet so if somebody is still interested, post here or add me to your contacts on Skype.

Today's call went well.

We read a good bit of The Ring Goes South and didn't spend most of our time talking about Doctor Who, which is an improvement from last time.

We also talked a fair deal about Phantom and Alien. I think that it was generally agreed upon that we liked Volo's Gimli. He sounded quite rough. Also, LEGOS!

Nobody recorded it this time. We'll try harder next.

EDIT: That PT that we did, were we going to post it on the 'Downs, you people who were involved?

Actually, the reading aloud of the Book was one of the best readings I've done so far. The roles were as follows: Agan - Frodo; Greenie - Legolas; Volo - Gimli; Skip - Aragorn; Hookbill - Boromir; Pitchie - Gandalf; Lauri - Merry; TGEW - Pippin; Steve - Sam; and me - narrator. Everyone was amazing!

We (well, some of us) wanted to do a quick game of live-action WW, but couldn't figure out the logistics, and we ended up doing a quick game of Paper Telephone, which was rather epic. We were joined at the beginning by TGWBS, and it was pretty awesome to meet such a legendary Downer! [/shameless fawning]
