Dang, I meant a party on Saturday, of course. Wishful thinking today was Friday already...

You guys make me laugh.

If we're doing a reading, what are we going to read? Suggestions? What were you supposed to read last time?

Meat.

OK, what happened in LotR in early December? Nothing (Fellowship still at Rivendell), except lots of hanging around in the Hall of Fire, Elves singing, ladidadida. And in TH? I guess they were on the way back or some such. Not much action either. So I guess anything's possible, depending on how many people we get together.

Blargh. Trying hard to look helpful without being helpful. Clearly a wolf.

Aww, poor Pitch!

Now that we have both Pitch and Nog on board, would it be presumptuous of me to suggest we read some Tom Bombadil stuff?

Or have you read it before? Or are there enough roles?

We did indeed read The Old Forest/In the House of Tom Bombadil in the unforgettable Night of the Kazoo (q.v. above). We could read Fog on the Barrow Downs, I think that was discussed at one time but never actually done.

Narrator
Frodo
Sam
Merry
Pippin
Bombadil
BarryWight
7 roles.

Rather hefty for the amount of people we tend to have participating these days, but the Barrow-wight actually has only a few lines of poetry and could do another role as well, and someone could probably do two of the hobbits or some such.

I'd like to hear Nog as Bombadil for a change, I think he's the better singer.

Speaking of you, Nog, if we do an actual reading again this time, would you by any chance have the tech wizardry to record it?

If I'm there, I want to be the Barrow-Wight! Because, you know, I'm drawn to everything evil.

And Pitch you don't really want me to play in Boro's WW now do you (I'm trying to weigh whether I have enough time or not)?

Nonsense! Of course I do! Pretty please?
(Although if you don't I'll forgive you as long as you promise to play in mine.)

EDIT: By all means go for the Barrow-wight! I can hear that poem in your voice, it sounds awsome.
