Obsessing with fellow fans at Frodo's Restaurant in RL is Love.

I would give anything to have an evening like that! The only folks I can talk to about Tolkien-love are here, on LJ.

Someone MEMORIZED that Earendil poem? Omigosh. I can hardly read it straight through, let alone memorize it.

i was dissolving into love

*grins*

I feel very fortunate indeed to meet RL folks that share the love that i have as well. :) It was indeed a very enjoyable time. :)

I know! i was *very* impressed by the girl as well. :) I think she has an affinity for Eowyn and for elves... she had a Lothlorien cloak on, i think and is also member of Heren Istarion. :)

Yes, LotR and Tolkien and hobbitses always make me dissolve into Love. :)

:hugs:

There is nothing like that here. There are only a few of us Tolkien people around and nothing organized at all. All of my contact with it is on line or when I get to make a trip to an event of some sort. It sounds wonderful and I am glad you had a good time. Would have loved to have seen that Gandalf the Grey!

[periantari]

The Gandalf i met was quite a character. :) He read the beginning of FotR starting with "The Long-Expected Party" and did great voices for different characters while reading the beginning. :)

I know you're going to ELF and sure hope you have some great fun swooning fro hobbits and discussing all things Tolkien! =)

[grey_wonderer]

I hope you are going to ELF too. I would love to meet sometime while I am there.

[periantari]

Yes, i look forward to meeting you if when i decide to go to ELF. :)

It sounds like a lovely, lovely evening! :-)

And I have a Frodo costume that I wore a few years ago...And Nivina, I remember, just adored it! I shall have to post that picture again some time so that everyone can see it! :-)

[periantari]

The event actually started mid afternoon so i guess we were having a late second lunch. ;)

I would love to see your costume! =)

That's... not really the name of the restaurant is it?!

Oh, this was so cool! I'm like a couple of other folks here mentioned - online is really my only outlet for fandom things. It's not something I can share with people in RL, besides perhaps talking about certain movies or shows. I need to see if there's some type of group like this in Chicago. There was one, but I discovered them way late and they didn't seem to be very active. I'll have to look around some more.

Anyway, this sounds like such a lovely evening. Thanks for sharing.

Of course it is, dear!

It was named that but it wasn't especially Middle-Earthish though. :p

Yes, i understand that...even though if i find another LotR fan they're usually not as crazy as i. :P

I hope you *do* find a group like that in Chicago!

I'm glad you enjoyed reading this post. :) *hugs*

people dressed as Frodo
I SO must costumize again. I miss my costume!
Do Sam... and if ever me meet we could go to Mordor out together :)

[periantari]

Surely! i will be Sam and you'll be Frodo and Jen will be Pippin... we just need a Merry. ;) =)
Where did you find your Frodo costume?

[lily_the_hobbit]

I made mine myself... well, grandma did. I only got the fabric and the critisism :) "You need to cut that here and put that button there, and..."

[periantari]

Thats really cool~ which web site gave help in making costumes like these? or do you know where to buy? i think my granny could give me some hints as well if i were to make it...
