True say, but as I said before, they won't be very happy if I'd ask them to spend a day with Tolkien fans, even if they'd be with me. They'd probably think of it as a day wasted. And this is what I imagine happening:

Bethberry: Hi G55!
Me: Oh, hi Bethberry!
My mom: [my name], do you know her?
me: Ummmm....

A HA HA HA HA!!! But thank you.

Homework, more likely.

PS: I don't like malling.

PPS: I am not trying to make excuses. I really want to attend, but it just won't work out for me. As soon as I'm old enough for my parents not to enquire every time I leave the house, I'm gonna go to Tolkien meetings/moots/gatherings/whatever, and definitely to Reading Days!
