The New Hobbit Hole

[Overtaxed]

She has chosen the path of Pain!

[RosieCotton]

I feel like a pusher...

LOL You're a baaaad influence, you know!

[RosieCotton]

Can you read music at all? It's not required, because they even make music with the finger holes demonstrated that you cover up.

Not only that, but once you've been playing a short time, you may be able to figure out a lot of songs on your own. I'm not as good at that as I should be, but given time I can usually figure out how to play songs I know well without any written music.

My sister doesn't even really read music - she plays entirely by ear, and can pick up new tunes that way amazingly fast. I wish I was better at that...on the other hand, I have access to TONS of sheet music that she has trouble with, so there are benefits to both methods, I guess!

Ok, I have got to go! We're going to McDonald's and then to CompUSA for some disks. See you all later!

[Sam Cree]

Hey LCS, may I freepmail you? I want to ask you an American history question.

[2Jedismom]

Well, I just got in from getting my disks. Now I'm going to copy the Two Towers audio-disks I checked out from the library. The unabridged version, you know? There are two people waiting to check them out after me, so I'll return them to the library as soon as I'm done.

I know, it's not nice to copy these things, but it's Hair and OT's fault. I've been corrupt ever since the FOTR bootleg.

[Overtaxed]

At least it wasn't a money-making operation!

[HairOfTheDog]

Great. Now I have corrupted a good God-fearing Christian and encouraged her to sin. [sigh] I try to be so good, really I do!

So are you saying I shouldn't send you TTT when I find it? Would that just be further temptation?

[2Jedismom]

At least it wasn't a money-making operation!

This is true! Most of us were out money in the bootleg endeavor. I didn't do much but just mail my copy to LCS, though.

[Overtaxed]

Does this mean no TTT bootleg at all?!

[2Jedismom]

LOL! It's too late! I'm beyond redemtion! If you find it, send it!

[Overtaxed]

Most of us were out money in the bootleg endeavor

See! The Bootleg Endeavor was completely charitable! How's that for rationalization?

[Sam Cree]

"I know, it's not nice to copy these things"

Yeah, but in this case, you're probably actually saving the taxpayers money, by reducing your dependence on the public library.

[RosieCotton]

I am appalled at you, all of you! For shame!

So...how do I get on the TTT bootleg list, if there ends up being a bootleg? I missed FOTR...

[Come get it]

Does anyone know when the special extended edition DVD is supposed to come out? I'm trying to hold out for it, but it's HARD!

[RosieCotton]

I think it's November 12th. Not like we're keeping track...

I ended up giving in and buying the original release. I am weak.

NOVEMBER!?!?!? AAAAAUGH! Can't...wait...much...longer...

I haven't heard much about it. Is the movie itself actually longer (I hope so, 3 hours isn't long enough for that movie)? Or is it just more scenes that you can see in the "special features" area of the DVD? Any idea which scenes will be added?

[2Jedismom]

Well, I feel I wouldn't be able to listen to the disks in any reasonable amount of time and I can't renew them because other people are waiting. So I just check them out, make the copies, then return them for the next person and listen at my leisure.
