Re: Hi from New England
Good to meet you Bilbo!
Right now we are in the long quiet before the storm: when the Amazon Appendices hit the small screen (they haven't named the series, so I just did!) But we have plenty to discuss even if nothing new Tolkien related is ongoing. Poke around a bit, and don't be afraid to revive an old thread or start a new one!

Re: Hi from New England
Thanks very much. I also assumed a storm is coming. I have noticed more interest on other tolkien forums already.

We are a bit unique in that we have a community feeling, in large part because we have sections to discuss other things during the lapses in Tolkienia. The upcoming Dune film for example (I have my ticket!).

Re: Hi from New England
Yo, welcome, where in New England?
I've never been. Well, briefly through New Jersey and Virginia, but I don't know what that counts as.
I live over on the best coast in Commiefornia.

No those states do not count. I am from Vermont, and it is very nice to meet you.

Re: Hi from New England
New York State is sort of boundary of New England, but is a region unto itself.

The change in colors can be dramatic. With just the right kind of tint to sunglasses they really pop - never understood that since the tint is grey.
