brb - phone call
hope it's a good one. :-)
There used to be a tavern in Gig Harbor called, curiously enough, "The Gig". It was a landmark for a long time, but is no more.
The current landmark that *all* of you must visit in order for your visit to be a proper visit to GH is the "Tides Tavern". We'll go there for lunch or dinner or something one of the days. Neat spot with a dock in the harbor. Good food, and of course, beer.
I think we've already covered the Tides clothing collection.
Wonder if my insurance will cover it.
"Hmmm....so elves evolved from gnomes."
Either that or the elves are riddled with a gnome 5th column--so which of the elves are really gnomes. . .? [looks around suspiciously]
So, we're still meeting at your local watering hole on Friday night?
Have a good night!
Hmmm... that's odd. It is like a wooden banana in really so few ways...
Those wood elves from the cartoon "The Hobbit" looked a little gnomish.
"Noldor?"
Hmmm--which of the Kellogg's cereal characters are the Sindar, then?
"Wonder if my insurance will cover it."
Only if the insurance company is even crazier! :)
I'm staying pretty loose with the actual "plan". I'm willing to facilitate whatever most folk feel like doing. My local watering hole is available, and is good if for no other reason than we can probly get lots of space all or mostly to ourselves. The place itself is not particularly special except for the wierd people there I call "friends" for lack of a closer word... :-)
Maybe the Tides for lunch would be good? Dunno... I'm not just flexible, I'm fluid.
Scott? We're doing E-9 on Thursday evening, correct? did you already have ideas for Friday?
"I thought it was fascinating... I never knew there was that much depth to those characters.... I never saw them as individuals with a life outside cereal. ;~D"
Poor Lucky--we never knew ye! :)
"So, we're still meeting at your local watering hole on Friday night?"
Will SHOUTINGMAN be joining y'all? :)
I think the Sindar must be from the rival Keebler clan.
I am will be there just waiting for instructions. We are supposed to go to E-9 still I hope! Chad is meeting us there at 6:30 or thereabouts!
Friday, I pick up OT at the airport and that's all I know.
I dunno! But if you get into the "History of Middle-Earth" series, you find out that Tolkien originally referred to the Noldorin Elves as "Gnomes". The word comes from a Greek root meaning "to know", and he used it to designate the Elves that had the highest level of knowledge.
DUUUD! You killed Gidget.
Actually, meeting pretty early on Friday.... Like noon, if'n ya want. We're free in the afternoon, and the earlier we meet up the better, to get down here at a reasonable hour...
And the Elf-King had the voice of Mr. Freeze from Batman!
