The Next Meeting of The Tolkien Society of Kansas City

The December party was a great success, with a White Oliphant exchange, and plenty of po-ta-toes and other appropriate delicacies.  Many thanks to Steve and Cindy for hosting! We took a break from our reading in TLOTR for the month of December, to discuss Letters to Father Christmas , so for January we're back on track, reading chapters IV - VI of the first half of The Two Towers .  We'll be meeting at Cardboard Corner once again, at 6:30 on January 28.  The address is 9240 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park, KS We're currently researching a new venue, since we've outgrown the 12-person limit for the Cardboard Corner rooms.  We've got some ideas that we'll be investigating this month.

The Next Meeting of The Tolkien Society of Kansas City

At the recent September meeting, we discussed The Fellowship of the Ring, Book Two Chapters III - VI.  One of our main topics of discussion was the evil agency of Caradhras, and The Misty Mountains in general.  Since the mountains were raised up by Morgoth himself, we agreed that it wasn't surprising that they would work against the Fellowship.  Also, we noticed that Frodo seemed to have some heightened senses, in his noticing the footsteps of, presumably, Gollum following them through Moria. We'll be holding our next meeting on Wednesday, October 22 6:30, at Cardboard Corner Cafe, at 9240 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park, KS.  We'll be in the Sci-Fi Room this time. We'll be discussing the final four chapters of The Fellowship of the Ring, Book Two Chapters VII - X. Please note, we've made some schedule adjustments for our last two meetings of the year, in order to work around the holidays.  We'll be meeting on the third Wednesdays of the month in both November and De...
