The Sound of Middle-earth -> reading from LotR

[Loslote]

Skype was epic. We read a few poems and songs at the very beginning, and we kept the British-type people up later than we probably should have. I missed part at the beginning, but otherwise was there for most of it. We had a ton of fun. Alas, Steve did not bring out his saxaphone, but there was a good reason for this. My nose was bitten off by Sally, who was upset with me for my continual dying (coughing). We lost The Game rather often (I just lost The Game) and the others disscussed Doctor Who and such incomprehensible things. (Next time, guys, I'm going to start off on Australian Rules Football - then you'll be just as lost. ) Steve abducted TGEW, and Sally was upset that he didn't take her, too. Steve also decided to make a dictionary with his own personal definitions for everything, leaving out words he doesn't want (such as gullible). Twas epically fun!

Eonwe didn't really take me with him in his TARDIS, but I wish he would have.


I think that in the event we all ended up changing the subject line and conversation picture waay too many times.

Ah, sorry I couldn't participate this time! I'm still recovering from a nasty stomach infection and was in no condition to post or talk much for most of the past four days. Anyway, congratulations on pulling it off once again, and I'm naturally dying with curiosity to hear any recordings you may have made!

That's too bad, Pitchie. We missed you.
I actually don't think that we made any recordings this time around. The conversation sort of went like this:
Eönwë "Is anybody recording this?"
Hookbill "I have some recording software on my laptop, but I don't feel like getting it out right now."
Eönwë "Oh, well. . .(gives suggestion)"
Hookbill "I don't have that on my computer; it's a desktop."

So those in the group who could actually operate technology couldn't do anything, so we didn't record.

Actually, for further reference, I think that Skype has a recording software that you can download onto your computer. I'm not sure how it works or how well, but we might consider using that next time if somebody want to test it out.

We did indeed miss you. I wanted to read Fog on the Barrow-Downs, but without you as Bombadil I couldn't find the will to convince everyone to do it.

I tried that time before last. It's utter rubbish. Oh well, somethings are better left unrecorded. . .

You don't think that Doctor Who and Beatles references are material for a Tolkien Discussion Forum? Rubbish!

When is the next feasible date that we could have another call? I'd, personally, like to have another soon. But whatever works for all you other Skypers.

[Eönwë]

It should probably be this or next weekend... We'll see see if I can make it.
