Curunir sends us this update:<\/p>\n
“How time flies! Less than five months until we Barlimaniacs will be staring awkwardly at one another in the lobby of a Chicago hotel – BUT, that means you’ve still got almost three months to BECOME an awkwardly staring Barlimaniac! How’s that for lucky, eh?<\/p>\n
You *do* want to put faces to the Barliman’s nicks, right? I mean REAL faces, not those years-old graduation photos that so many of us have scans of! Nope, I mean real, smiling, happy (possibly somewhat inebriated) faces, warm and filled with the relief of surviving the airport’s rigorous cavity search, and the joy of being in a position to carry out all of those \/actions IRL!<\/p>\n
So, if you’d like to join the teeming throng of Barlimaniacs making the perilous and fair journey to Chicago in August, check out our information page here<\/a>, or email curunir@theonering.net<\/a> with any questions you have! I’ll do my best to answer any put to me, with the exception of a few, that can only be answered in Chicago.<\/p>\n A few examples of the questions which will be answered in August:<\/p>\n Are Gandalf and Gamgee really the same person, as has been so frequently speculated?<\/p>\n Are those real snakes in jincey’s photos, or just very very good tattoos?<\/p>\n How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? (Okay, I really don’t think this one will be answered, but what the heck…)<\/p>\n And, finally…what *does* a biker look like, when toting a feather duster?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Curunir sends us this update: “How time flies!
