The Tolkien Seminar in Jena (Germany) will be held from Friday 23.04.10 to Sunday 25.04.10
I'm looking forward to going there and meeting Esty again! This years topic "Tolkien and Romanticism appeals especially to me. I always had the impression that Tolkien had a lot in common with the romantics. Here's a link to a schedule and abstracts of the lectures:http://seminar2010.kolbitar.de/

This prompted me to look for news of the UK seminar - there isn't but I found a reminder of Tolkien Reading Day a couple of weeks away on 25th March.

Hmm . . . I wonder. Any chance of a Tolkien event somewhere on the Pacific coast of North America this autumn or winter? Preferably in the vicinity of Northern California or Oregon.
I'm moving out of the uncultured land of Alaska and looking for a bit of fun. ![]() |

I guess I'm the only Downer who's a member of the German Tolkien Society, so I won't be meeting any of you there, sadly. However, there are so many wonderful people coming and interesting activities scheduled that I am very much looking forward to this (extended) weekend!
More infos: Tolkien Thing, July 15 - 18 2010

It was a fabulous weekend! Tolkien people are such a wonderful bunch, the programme was interesting, and we all had a really great time! For those of you who live in or near Germany, I can only recommend joining the DTG, or at least starting by visiting one of the local "Stammtische" (smials) in your area.
Now the next event is coming up. Who's coming to Oxonmoot this year? Hookbill has booked, so have I. If enough of us are interested and bring something appropriate, we could enter the costume competition as a group of "Wizards of Many Colours" - anyone want to join me? My new wizard costume might be just *slightly* non-canonical, but I did my best to fit the character into Tolkien's world.
