NYC TTT Moot Part 1



Hi! I'm back from NYC where we went to see the TTT symphony, Fellowship! Musical parody of FotR, and a book signing with Doug Adams and Howard Shore. The musical was hilarious and my favorite of the events. The symphony was terrific and spot on and we had the perfect seats, but I had a creepy, annoying guy sitting next to me that ruined much of it for me, so it wasn't a great symphony/film experience for me this time. The signing was really nice, and Howard Shore talked about Frodo and Sam like he shipped them.




There were 3 pairs of hobbit dolls accompanying us and making sure we didn't get into any trouble.



And all these lovely people. Plus the vivacious [livejournal.com profile] grey_wonderer and her sweet friend T. who we didn't get to see enough of. Plus I got to talk on the phone with the delightful [livejournal.com profile] delux_vivens, though we didn't get the chance to meet up--next time. I still haven't finished reporting from the Sept RotK Moot and Ladysnaps Moot, so I'm going to finish up those before I do a full report of the NYC Moot, but I just wanted to give a prelude, say hi, and I hope I'll be keeping up better with everyone and posting a lot more now that moot season has passed.

How exciting! Too bad about the creep sitting next to you, though.

Whoo Hoo, glad to hear from you. You must be exhausted love, what with 3 moots in a month! Gotta be a record. I'm so glad that I can recognize V, ASD, Gabi Belle and E. Can't wait to see the rest of your posts.

TTT is my least fav of the movies but I'd willingly see it again via symphony.

What a shame that you had that guy next to you. :-(

Still the rest of the weekend was a blast, and it was great to see you again so soon!

*super hugs*

You are a mooting animal!! It sounds like the perfect life, if all we had to do was go to moots, don't you think?

It's so lovely to be hearing about the NYC moot, and I love seeing all the pics.

WAITAMINNIT! What's with this creeper? You didn't say anything about that! Shall I track him down, make him pay for ruining my purple-lady's good time? Eh? EH??

*hugs tight* How I miss you!!!!

I had a great time meeting all of you, or the ones of you that I did get to meet. LOL You're right, we didn't have nearly enough time to visit but I did enjoy what time we had. Maybe we will see each other again next year. Bring the purple purse and I'll be sure to find you. : )

Love the photo of the guys in front of Radio City Music Hall.

I'm glad you kicked that guy in the ankles hard! What a shame he was seated next to you!! *kicks him again virtually*

It was a grand few days! They just went by wayyyy too fast!! Can't believe the mooting is over for the season!!!

*hugs you lots*

Howard Shore is the best!

It sounded like a great time!

I'm so glad it was wonderful, but sorry you had the leg-bouncing person next to you. It's terrible to be next to someone doing aggravating things. I am guilty, though, having once been silently quelled at the Kennedy Center watching Verdi's Requiem. I hadn't realised it, but I was so revved, the concert was so great, my right leg was sort of gyrating. Not making any noise, but it must have caused a vibration. I was oblivious until the woman sitting next to me clamped a hand on my knee and gave me a quelling stare. I wanted to crawl under the theatre. But I learned to keep my vibrations, however good for *me*, in check when in public venues.

Hey, Lavender, my husband just sent me a link to a great article about owning and loving cats he read today in the New York Times online. Just in case you haven't seen it, here's the link below. I think it will, um, "resonate" with you.....
