LOTR readthrough stuff

[fluffymark]

Maybe those of us travelling to Thatcham from/via London should arrange to arrive there on the same train, to give the lovely mirabehn and evil_nick less of a logistical headache? :)
There appears to be a train arriving in Thatcham at 19:06 on the friday, which is the one i'm aiming for, I think. Think I'll travel from Ealing Broadway, for quickness, cheapness and avoiding-paddington-in-the-friday-evening-rushhour-ness. Whats everyone else planning? *wonders*

If I ask nicely could some nice person print me off pages 3 and 4 of Episode 5? (thats the *new* version of episode 5). My printer still hates that bit. I'll love you forever. :)

I'm so excited. :) :)

Update: Make that the (direct) train arriving Thatcham at 16:40 on Friday. Looks like i'm being a small onion and helping the_alchemist brew Thai Soup for dinner.

Further Update: Apparently I'm doing the washing up instead of the brewing - bother! :/

i would print for you, except i fiddled with the margins A LOT on my copies to fit them on fewer pages. (i also fiddled with some of Elly's stage direction in some cases... ummm naughty me!)

Will do.

I'm driving (with andrewwyld so won't be on the train, but might be picking you up from it :)

That sounds like a good plan. Paddington station's just next to my work anyway (if I happen to be at work on Friday afternoon..)

Must practise this music - haven't done anything vaguely LOTR related for the last 2 weeks...

eeeeeee!! Thank you - that would be very helpful. :D

*Although* - it would be even helpfuller if people could arrive a wee bit earlier than 19.06 - I'm just thinking that given a provisional food-serving at 19.30, it would be make things vastly easier to have as many people arrived quite a bit before then as possible, so that we can sort out their stuff, get everyone acquainted, settled and (looks hopefully at the weather) nicely warmed by the sun in our pretty garden before dinner. Also Catriona will need minions for making the Thai soup, and in working out the rota I had put your good self and Lynnette down for that task...

Having said all that, the timetable for Friday evening is pretty flexible, as is the cooking rota, so don't worry if arriving earlier just isn't convenient. :D Could you all let me know asap what you decide? Then I can work things out accordingly. I'm going to e-mail everyone individually today and tell them everything I think they need to know (you know, the capital of Zimbabwe and stuff ;) ). I'll include the timetable/rota as I've worked it out so far just for convenience' sake, but it can always be changed nearer the time.

Incidentally, Nick is happy to pick people up from Newbury instead of Thatcham if that helps anybody - I know that there are slightly more trains that stop at Newbury, so it might give you a few more options to play with. :)

I'm so excited. :) :)

And you what? So am I! Not stressed, not wibbling, not depressed. I'm absolutely bouncing with excitement. *bounces all around the room*

Although if Nick carries out his threat to play Elrond as a League of Gentleman character (he's been threatening Judee Levinson and even Pam Douve, for those that know... eek!), I might not turn out quite so relaxed. *grin*

See you on the Cracks of Doom, Smeagol!

love,

Frodo xx
