I get back and find new friendses, which is cool. *grins* Hello to you all!
Thursday was nice - got put on a more direct coach, so arrived on time rather than late. Avvie was as gorgeous as ever. We pottered round London, went out for yummy sushi, and watched A Knight's Tale, which is a lovely soppy movie. Then he showed me around his home town (and ended up buying a vintage megadrive or something). Everything was cool, and Avvie is just wonderful and squeeeee!
Well, the Fellowship Festival, despite our fears of it being a total rip-off, was amazing, although it sounds like Monty had even more fun (her mum was running the Sindarin classes, and so she got access to the Green Room, and they both stayed in the same hotel as the actors, and got to talk to them and stuff like that).
The Saturday was the en masse day. I'm glad I wore my EOAS T-shirt, as it enabled the other EOAS and related types to identify me reasonably quickly so I could join the gang. Liked everyone straight away, although it took me a few minutes to figure out who was who! :p
Most of the memorabilia was soooooooooo expensive I didn't even consider it, but I now have Glorfindel down one arm and Erestor down the other, both in Tengwar. I also have a lovely T-short designed by the dreamy Sandro Kopp, who is simply adorable. I was never overly keen on movie-Gildor, but in real life he is HOT. Also Jorn and Jarl. Tux seems to like Jorn somewhat, so I'll drool over Jarl. Especially when he got his hair out of the ponytail! *slurps*
Anyhow, the Sindarin lady. ( I think it's worth mentioning for various reasons. Mostly because I feel my initial judgement of her was unfair. )
