Tolkien 2019 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Estelyn Telcontar · 12-11-2018, 01:51 PM

I'm planning to come and combine two Birmingham events - the Festival of Quilts takes place on the weekend before Tolkien 2019. I look forward to seeing as many Downers as possible! I'm not planning a lecture, though it's possible I will present the next Tolkien and music book if the editors can't be there. However, I am planning to sew and show a new costume, so I'll join the Masquerade.

Only five weeks to go - who's coming? I've booked everything and am right now sewing my costume for the Masquerade. No, I won't divulge what/who it is yet - but you ask if it includes a parody element? If you know me by now, you can give yourself the answer: It has to do with the church affiliation of the Pope...

That costume sounds interesting, Esty! I'll see you I(and others) in Brum soon!

I hope those who went will post some of their experiences on this thread.
