OK I sent this to parador_j@tolkiengathering.com, the event coordinator...

Hello....   I am writing on behalf of the Tolkien fans (not affiliated with the management) at www.FreeRepublic.com, a politically conservative website with a strong Tolkien fan contingent! 
 
We have a number of discussion threads dealing with Tolkien and LoTR, all listed under the Topic of "The Hobbit Hole"
 
We have three ongoing threads namely:
 
The Hobbit Hole
Kindof our home-catch-all thread... (nearly 19,000 posts)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/646314/posts
 
LoTR-The Two Towers: Book discussion (The Green Dragon Inn) III
(460+ posts to date through chapter 4)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/722879/posts
 
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Movie Spy Reports and Spoilers thread)
Place to put news and spoilers....

We recently heard through the grapevine about your upcoming event.  The regular posters at FreeRepublic have also been thinking about a meeting or moot around the release of RoTK...
 
We are wondering whether to join with you in your effort either as a group (preferably) or as individuals.  Only a couple of us have ever posted on any other LoTR boards... though we sometimes lurk of course!
 
As we consider what to do, would you like to talk about including us in this big effort?  What participation and help might be needed or wanted from us?
 
Please let me know!

We'll see if it ends up looking interesting to get involved in...

Isn't that what happened with the original Star Wars? We have the original on VHS.

I'm still trying to find out what happened to The Empure Strikes Back in the theaters between the time I saw it the first week it came out, and then three months later. I distinctly remember Yoda riding in Luke's backpack, throwing rocks in front of him for his lightsaber. That scene disappeared in a later theatrical version, yet I remember seeing it.

BTW, did the scene with Luke using R2D2 as a fire hydrant for washing off his X-wing ever reappear in any version? Or did I imagine that scene, too?

I'm here, but I'm like Tom Bombadil when it comes to the precious.

I just logged back on...Steve is still at work and I went to Albertsons and got some of their good fresh bread. Also got some peaches to juice for Joshua...it works for him, if you know what I mean, poor kid.
