I haven't bought mine yet either.
I really want to coordinate with other folks so that we're all flying in at more or less the same time.
We should put up a thread on ecurbh's forums to get those finer details in order.
As far as the doorbell goes, I'll let someone else ring it. ;-)

There are, but I haven't got my index here. Ecurbh probably has some online resources or has his books handy...

True, March was the busy month.
There's only one entry for December, though: December 25, 3018, The Company of the Ring leaves Rivendell at dusk.

Yeah, those peaceful weeks really are rather uneventful... though I'm sure Frodo appreciated them.

those peaceful weeks really are rather uneventfulMonths... the Council of Elrond was October 25 of the same year. The next entry given is the December one.
What I meant though, was that entry was the only December entry that I could find in the entire Tale of Years. If you thought April was a slow month....

Yeah, I remember wondering why they waited around so long. If they'd left in October surely the weather would have been a little better.
The earlier years don't have many actual dates, right? So some of the other stuff probably happened in December, we just don't know it.

I remember wondering why they waited around so long.Elrond sent out scouts and messengers ahead of the Fellowship, and it took two months for them to go out and come back with their reports.

That's true, only The Great Years have actual dates. Earlier and later years just give the year, no dates.

Yeah, that was Tolkien's excuse. I think he just wanted to make the trip as unpleasant as possible.
Corin, I'm ignoring that post.

We should put up a thread on ecurbh's forums to get those finer details in order. we need a chart to track who is coming to ShootMoot so I can have enuff holes dug, er, I mean, accomodations ready...
also, a list of firearms coming so I can have the range prepped and lots of ammo laid back...
