Best wishes to all of you who are going to Oxford - have a wonderful time! As I'm travelling to the West this week, I won't be there, but I have fond memories of Birmingham last year. It was a great experience, and has lead to my involvement in the German Tolkien Society (I had to go to England to meet the German fans!) and even to a translating job for a Tolkien studies anthology.
So watch out - you never know where the path takes you once you step out of your door!
