\"\"<\/a>Southern California Tolkien fans are invited to join in the merriment of TORN\u2019s 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<\/a>. Please let me know what you plan to bring so I can make sure we\u2019ve got all bases covered for a good, Hobbity meal.<\/p>\n
