It started 10 minutes late, but it started. For those deluded few who thought I knew all, this just goes to prove I can't predict the weather or Chicago traffic. So my appologies to everyone who showed up promptly only to have to wait. And my super huge appologies to all those Chicago drivers who got cut off by the Honda with the "I brake for Hobbits" bumpersticker, I was in a big hurry ;)

So for all of you who are itching to prove how knowledgable you are at Tolkien Trivia, head over to the Barliman's Tolkien Trivia Test and give it a whirl. It should put you in the right frame of mind for the upcoming Tolkien Brain Bender contest.

So give it your best shot, I am sure there will be some fierce competition.
