.: Alep 2 ~ There & Back Again :., Return to the Shire

[gandalf the grey]

Greetings all,

Well, well, well! I have been away for some times, mostly off to the lands to the west and I have spent some time with an old friend of mine who runs a school, but now I have returned and I have some interesting news which many of you may already know:

Mr. Baggins is throwing another party! I have known for some time, but only this week did he make a formal announcement, but what he has planned he is keeping a secret (so far). It will be the last weekend of September spilling over into October 2011. A website and a note from Mr. Baggins are forthcoming.

Now I must be off again, for once again there is much for me to do, and many errands at hand. I hope to see you all again soon.

~Grey Wizard

[ShireScholar]

Calloo calay! Yippee! I hope that there will be a place on the schedule for a poor poet and scholar to once again offer her musings. :book:

Wonderful news!
All best,
Shire Scholar :hobbit computer:

[Ladyhawk Baggins]

Oh, my. This sounds promising and intriguing.

[AnnaEstel]

Is it too early to book our rooms? :rolleyes:

(does happy dance)

[TolmanJr]

Yes!!! Great news! I'm assuming it will be at the Village again, let's hope.

I hope my old room we be availabe too.

[kat99]

Yay !!! :lol: That's great news :lol:

[Rosie_Cotton]

I wonder if Moaning Myrtle will visit me in my new room this time? :ghost:

[Sindarinelvish]

Sign me up! :rider:

I'm already packing!

[maura labingi]

That's lovely! I hope I can attend Alep2 too!

Count me in! Let me know closer to time what help I might give. I'm only a couple of hours away. :hobbit lass:

[DaisyBaggins]

Great news. :)

[Forestchild]

This is indeed wonderful news! I will eagerly await further details...

Thank you for posting, Gandalf.

[Everon_Gamgee]

Ah how we have all been yearning for the Kentucky Shire. :bilbo smoke: It will be wonderful to be Back Again. :bag end:

HUZZAH, HUZZAH, HUZZAH! : ALEP : II

[MithLuin]

Well, one year went by quickly enough. Now, just to wait two more....

Bilbo and Gandalf, I must say a very great THANK YOU for even considering such a large undertaking. It would have been very natural to have said...."Never Again!" despite our clamoring for more. And hopefully this time, you will know when to ask for help, so that it will not be quite so daunting an undertaking!

Sorry I didn't make Dragon*Con this year; a new job starting up made such plans impossible, but it was just as well I didn't intend to travel that weekend, as I would have needed to stay in town for a funeral anyway.

[Olotie]

Great!

Where are we going?

(Sorry, couldn't help it... :) )

[AnnaEstel]

So is there any word yet on when the new site will be up, and registration begin?

[Rosie_Cotton]

I know "Mr. Wizard" is working on a new web site; when it will be up I do not know.

As for registration, he could better tell you.

I would assume entertainment, nourishment, and lecturers would have to be secured before a final price could be posted.

I will inquire of him these questions. You know how Wizards are. They act as if they have all the time in the world for these things, and the rest of us want to party, party, party right now!!

:lotr_gandalf: :hobbit computer: :MPfireworks:

[Pearl Took]

Oh my! I would love to be there!

I'm going to have to figure out some way to remind myself to check here for news.

If anyone hears of the assembling of an emailing list, tell my dear Cousin Bilbo and our good friend Gandalf to put me on it :)

[Melilot Fields from Deephallow]

Me, too! Me, too!

I have been away for far too long...but think of ALEP often. Looking forward to visiting the Shire again! :walking hobbit:
