I don't know why I haven't thought of it before, but I was confused after I pondered it (This is one of the things I do before I go to sleep at night, pondering Tolkien). It has been bugging me for some days now and I cannot seem to find the answer.
It appears that Frodo and Gandalf have meet before September of Frodo's 33rd year in the Peter Jackson film because it seems that they have been united after a long absence of each other (well, that's what I always thought). The radio plays give me the same impression. But when I read my books, it does not seem so. It looks as if Frodo has been informed about Gandalf but not actually met Gandalf.

I guess what I am trying to get out (because my thoughts when I get them down on paper (or the screen) seem to be a bit hard to follow) is did Frodo meet Gandalf before the month of Bilbo's 111 party?

Any thoughts?
