The Sound of Middle-earth -> reading from LotR - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Pitchwife · 03-27-2011, 03:25 PM

I guess I would be available, but I'd prefer closer to 8pm, as I'll probably working an early shift on Monday. Reckon with an hour to gather all the participants online, and another to pick a text and distribute the parts (we've tried to organize all that beforehand a few times, but so far that's never worked).

And can we please agree to postpone the Gandalf-uncloaks-jokes, gratuitous Doctor Who references and other general mayhem until after the reading proper this time? It's not like they're not fun, but taking hours and having people drop out again before we've even started reading like last time sort of defeats the original purpose.

I almost plum forgot about these readings.

Any time on the second half of Saturday would be good for me.

Hmm, yes. We do love to delay our readings until the last half hour of our four hour calls, don't we? We probably want to fix that. We are, after all, a community of Tolkien nerds, not Whovians.

Sunday not working TGEW?

I ask because the Tolkien section's meeting in Karlsruhe is scheduled on Saturday, so I wouldn't be able to make it then.

Sunday would be fine, I'm sure. It's not like I actually do anything.

Uh, that call wasn't supposed to be today, was it? Because, if it was, I forgot.

Guess what kids? We should carry on with the readings. This might be a silly time of me to post this because I can't really take part in anything till September but let's not forget about this, okay.

I feel quite ashamed for having started this thread and having forgotten about it until I saw your post just now.
Definitely agree with you, I think it should be doable to find a proper date.
Any suggestions? Again on a Sunday at say 9PM CET?
