Moot & Greet ~ Back to top

"We enjoyed the Pierce's Pitt Bar-B-Que dinner I had ordered for us all and the trivia contest I had
organized and lead. I think everyone enjoyed themselves, and many new friendships were made in
addition to current ones strengthened." - Stef

Stef give everyone updated directions to the events.	Narsilion (Chris) wins a door prize: a glow stick ring.
Trivia in the form of the randomly-selected nine members of the fellowship in The Weakest Link.	Frodo wins! It is a 2003 calendar featuring the artwork of Ted Nasmith.
Group pic of everyone at the Moot & Greet.	Games make a great alternate passtime while the trivia contest continues.

Movie Viewing ~ Back to top

"I got teased about having left the theatre twice for potty breaks and that both of them were right after
Merry and Pippin scenes (which seemed to correspond with being when Arwen was on screen). I did in
fact wait until a Merry and Pippin scene was complete and made my trip as quick as possible each
time to avoid missing the next brief Merry and Pippin scene, and there was nothing cheeky about it no
matter what they might say." - Stef

"After the film caravaned again to see the Festival of Lights in Newport News. It was fun sharing PIPPIN T
(our Toyota Echo) with Sammie, Overlithe, and Walt while we drove." - Stef

The Big Party ~ Back to top

"As people arrived, raffle tickets were sold and many photographs were taken of folks in their costumes.
Suffice it to say that the food, the drinks, the music, the dancefloor, the costumes, and the company were
all memorable, and I hope that all in attendance enjoyed themselves." - Stef

more good conversation." -Stef
