Quickbeam writes: This coming Sunday, September 21st, promises to be idyllic for Angelinos gathering in Griffith Park for our Annual Bilbo & Frodo Baggins Birthday Picnic. TORn is also very excited to announce the genesis of new PODCAST episodes that will be shooting live footage during the Los Angeles Picnic!
In shock as you must be, you are probably saying to yourself: “What?? A new podcast?! I remember TORn Digital episodes from years ago, but what is this wily Ent talking about?” Continue reading “A Long-Expected Picnic & an Unexpected Podcast”

From Tamara: Well, they might not have been elven boats, but this past weekend, Boston Ringers held a moot at the Boston Public Garden to ride the swan boats together. TORnsibs celebrated Bilbo and Frodo’s birthday early this year, by picnicking in the park and practicing their Galadriel waves from the bridge over the lagoon. More pictures can be seen on the groups Yahoo page, onewhitetree. We are gathering again soon, so keep checking the TORn Moots message boards for updates.

Southern California Tolkien fans are invited to join in the merriment of TORN’s Annual Baggins Birhday Bash, which will take place on Sunday Sept 21 starting at noon in Griffith Park near the Merry-Go-Round. Costumes are encouraged, and prizes will be bestowed upon the most beautifully or most creatively attired lads and ladies. There will also be fun and games, as usual, and maybe even the traditional impersonation contest (if partygoers are up to it). There will be lots of wonderful prizes to be won. The picnic is potluck so bring something to share. RSVP to me at Garfeimao@theonering.net. Please let me know what you plan to bring so I can make sure we’ve got all bases covered for a good, Hobbity meal.

“I have been under the spell of the faeries for most of my life. The pictures and stories that move me most are those that expose the thinness of the veil that separates us from the Otherworld, and if my own drawings do not feel animated by some unquiet presence I soon lose interest in them. For me, faeries are the creative spark in nature, the tricksters who beguile and confuse us and then point out the path that leads to further adventure, and who provoke the desire to explore and connect with processes we don’t understand.” – Alan Lee

Our good friends Emerald Rose sent this email along today for those Ringers going to DragonCon 2008:
Emerald Rose are seeking Hobbits, Dwarves, Elves and Humans to perform in a new part of the Evening at Bree Party at DragonCon on Friday night. The ‘bit’ will be called ‘Stupid Hobbit Tricks’ and well, that probably says enough right there. If you have a silly (but not dangerous) Tolkien-related thing that you do, email the guys at
band@emeraldrose.com or see them Thursday or Friday before Bree at their band table in the Hyatt Concourse. Also seeking representatives from the Dwarven and Hobbit races for the first ever Middle Earth Quaffing Contest! No elves, though. Elves don’t quaff – they sip. One representative over the age of 21 from the desired races only please. Quaffing will be done with a non-alcoholic beer substitute of great quality! Excitement! Danger! Prizes!
Sounds like a great time! Check out Emerald Rose’s official website and learn more about their appearances at the DragonCon official website. [Emerald Rose] [DragonCon]
