Bah, I'm sulking because I've had to spend loads of cash on a new computer. It is a very nice computer though, and it's all mine and davem can't turf me off it.

It's beans on toast for a few weeks now...

Oh well Lal I am sure if you really miss the experience you can summon up some dire guitar playing (not sure there is another kind really ) and sub-Vogon poetry...

Yeah, I can supply those myself pretty well. I shan't be doing the Springle Ring while wearing what looks like a merkin on my feet though.

I am completely broke after purchasing books for my courses and flight tickets to London!

Who else is coming to the Oxonmoot this year?

What a pity... I was sad because the German Tolkien Society didn't seem to meet anywhere in the northwest for something special, and now that I'm studying in the south of Germany, where I thought they would rather plan something, I find out the Seminar for 2010 is in the east.
Surely, a curse of Morgoth.

Well, it's done. At the second last moment on the last day I registered for Oxonmoot. Blame Mr. Berry for his prodding. He says he expects to hear that I am kicked out of Oxford.

I'm now waiting for word from Air Gwahir. So, I guess I'll be seeing you there, Rune, narf, Esty, and Hookbill.

I doubt I'll have a costume ready though. I'm looking forward to hearing the panel speak about Esty's music book.

Now I'm even more annoyed!

Still, would Oxford really be ready for the reign of terror that the young fella would inflict upon it in his search for triangles?

When I'm back at my own home PC with the German Tolkien Society information, I'll PM you with some possibilities for meeting other Tolkien fans in northern Germany, TM. There are smials (Stammtische) in several cities, including Hannover and Hamburg - if our timing is right, we might even meet there some time, as I now live up north as well.

I'm delighted that Ms. Berry is coming to Oxonmoot! The list of our allies grows! Hookbill, I will be in Oxford a day early, so definitely would be there and willing to meet you and any other Downers earlier on Friday. Anyone for a drink at the Bird and Baby?

Rune, Squatter, narfforc, it will be a pleasure, as always! Mithalwen, I don't remember - will you be coming this year? poison ivy has mentioned that she will be attending.

Lal and Dave, it would be a great delight to see you and the Elflet - I do hope you find a way to come for a day or two. I will miss my erstwhile roommate Guinevere this year - unless she decides to come at the last minute...
