Tolkien Events 2013 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Legate of Amon Lanc · 10-04-2013, 03:54 AM

Well, guest! I smell you and I feel your airplane. I hear your breath. Come along! Help yourself again, there is plenty and to spare!

Fellow Barrow-Downers! Those of you, who have been to previous Finlandmoot, or other moots, but especially those of you who so far have not! Now is the chance to change this! Because for everyone, awaiting you welcomingly, there is-

- THE DESOLATION OF NEW YEAR IN FINLAND!

The place shall be Helsinki, Finland and the timeframe expected is around the New Year, but given that everyone will likely have different open possibilities to come, there are no specifically set dates. A week here, a week there, I guess everything can be discussed with each of you who will be coming. Accomodation is provided, as indeed many guests can reside in Legate and Lommy's abode in the Dreadfort (nomen non est omen) and in the Halls of Nogrod.

What else can you expect? Meeting your favourite 'Downers, celebrating the Professor's birthday, watching and discussing the new Hobbit movie with both constructive and deconstructive criticism (I can vouch for both), Tolkien-themed games, exploring the city of Helsinki and the surrounding hostile Finnish Wilderland in dark and hostile Finnish winter, tasting traditional Finnish food, and much more.

Also, for those for whom the abovementioned events are still not exciting enough, this is another event that will be taking place (for those who are interested, of course).

We are looking forward to see you here! Individual questions can also be forwarded to myself, Aganzir, Lommy, Nogrod, or Greenie, who are sort of the core group in organising everything.

I just wanted it to make it sound nicer. But destruction can certainly be part of the program if there are enough people enjoying it.
