Ales and Tales: A Rebuttal
*laughs* A few friends suggested that I post the tall tale I presented at the last Ales and Tales, so here it is :) I hope those to whom I paid homage with it took it in the way that it was intended! :)
If I had taken the time to fit everyone into the story that I had wanted to, you all would have been rather sore with me, though. I did my best with the line, "I could go on and on, you know. Each person in attendance was a story in their own right". That is woefully inadequate, but I tried! :) I cannot wait to see what you all write today and in the days to come!
One final thought: It is easy to just show up to such events, have our fun, and go on our way. Those who give so much of their time, toiling behind the scenes to make them possible, deserve so much praise! From Keptwise and his band of merry minstrels (whom I have had the wonderful pleasure of sitting in with a few times!), to Lady Ashenwoods, who must never see the light of day with all the brewing of ales she does so that we all do not go thirsty, we owe you all so much!
Is this tonight? and where is it held this week? <bounces>
See Lorebook entry - where all locations & dates are listed. Link in OP

I hope everyone had fun!

I'll have to just post mine without a write-up... But Linett has an excellent write up here.
In the meantime... let the pictures begin!

Ales and Tales is at Wildore Neighborhood on Monday. This week's theme: Music! This is a great chance for Weatherstock bands to give a preview of their upcoming material. Also, EMS will be playing the new Lament for Eorl the young from the Lonely Mountain Band album.
--Harperella
Just a reminder for those wishing to attend.
This week's Ales and Tales will be held in the Wildore Neighborhood located in the BreeLand Homesteads. BreeLand Homesteads can be reached by visiting the South Bree Stable Master and choosing the Bree Homesteads destination. Once you have arrived at the drop off point, merely take the side road on your right to the entrance and when prompted, choose Wildore from the list of Neighborhoods given.
The gathering point for the event will be the Rangers of Tharbad Kin House located at 8 Long Street. To find the Kin House, simply follow the road you find yourself on once you enter the Homestead all the way to the bottom of the Neighborhood and it will place you right in front of the Kin House. The Kin House will be the one located directly left of the Waterfall.
For those that wish to tune their instruments and prepare for the coming performances, we cleared several large areas. Feel free to come early and perform a "sound check", so to speak. There is also a feasting table provided for those that wish to calm their nerves by having a bite to eat or even a pre-performance drink. I would caution against using the Keg located inside the Kin House. It has been known to muddle wits and steal items of clothing.
The Interior of the Kin House will also be open for those that merely wish to sit and converse with a friend before the event in relative quiet. There are several areas inside the Lodge that have been set aside for such things. The Library off the main room is also open for those that wish to get in a bit of a read beforehand as well.
The Pre-Event gathering will begin at 9:45 PM EST for those that wish to arrive early and chat with other attendees before the event begins.
At 10:30 PM EST, those gathered will then proceed to the Wildore Stage area. The event will then officially begin and the music, tales, and drinking will commence.
The Event will last until the last attendee that wishes to contribute has been allowed to perform.
As with all Ales and Tales, the attendance has been great, and we hope to meet or exceed past events attendance records.
The members of the Wildore Neighborhood wishes everyone that will attend a most enjoyable experience and hopes that you will come again to our friendly little corner of Landroval.
So join us for a night of Ales and Tales. And so much more....
I remain,
Hooray!
That is not necessarily the most desirable outcome though.Quote:

I look forward to my triumphant return to A&T next week and I'm sorry I've missed the last couple events... so much real life has been happening that it's making my head spin! ;)
This week's theme is gothic black in the main room of Tinnudir Keep! Bring plenty of black dye and /mood_solemn as we witness the passing of an age. The Age of Elves is past, the Age of Man is dawning, free to play with the fate of Middle Earth. For all of Arda shall become a place of Men, and the glory of the elder days will pass.
An' I dunno if there'll be much room for us hobbits in the new age, either, with the Men crowdin' us out. *goes off to dye her hair and fingernails black*Quote:

I posted a report on my adventure making it to Tinnudir as a level 7 for A&T on my.lotro, enjoy!

We are located at 2 Chalk Road, Ewefields, the Shire. Turn right as soon as you enter the town, and you'll be able to see the Hall from there. Information on the facilities may be found here. I will have a keg prepared along with the usual fare, and all animals that may possibly cause damage to the property of guests will be confined to the kitchen (your dress is safe, Olyver).
Join us for a cozy evening of tales and merriment amid a collection of some of the finest texts and scholarly items west of the Misty Mountains!
