[Lotr_announce] Join Us And Watch The TT EE This Weekend!

[Michael Regina (Xoanon)]

Following our very successful FOTR-EE movie watch party of last week, the
fun continues this Saturday as we settle in to view The Two Towers Extended
Edition. Join us in TORn's Hall of Fire chatroom tomorrow when we dust off
our copies of the film and pop it into the DVD player. After the usual
confusion, at around 5.30pm EST we'll all press play on our individual DVD
players and proceed to cheer and jeer (or discuss and argue, if you like!)
the finer points of the film. We will finish up next weekend (January 28th)
with Return of the King.

We'd be delighted if you could join us.

We plan to take a break midway through the film, to allow for stretching of
fingers and backs. Barliman will be on hand to serve drinks and snacks (and
to enforce the house rules).

WHERE?

On TORn's IRC server, in the #thehalloffire channel. After joining the
server, type /join #thehalloffire to get there.

If you've never been to TORn's IRC server before, you can join through our
java applet (http://www.theonering.net/barlimans/chat/index.html) and type
/join #thehalloffire once you're signed in. We recommend you visit our FAQ
for some guidelines on using our IRC service
(http://www.theonering.net/barlimans/faq.html). Barliman’s is a place for
good conversation about JRR Tolkien’s works. We welcome you to our community
and ask that you, and all guests, abide by some simple guidelines
(http://www.theonering.net/barlimans/rules.html).


HOW?

Once everyone is in #thehalloffire and has their DVD ready to go, the ops
will moderate the room and have a countdown to "Play." I expect that we will
be able to give minute-markers throughout the evening for latecomers. A
break will be taken midway through -- the exact point will be announced in
the topic.

That's all, folks! See you this weekend!
