[EVENT] Green Dragon Friday

[TwenBumblefoot]

As long as there well behaved, don't start shouting - it frightens some of the younger hobbits - and don't keep bashing into us. I'd say yer more than welcome!

[Linawillow]

Aye, a few dwarven travelers are always welcome, as long as they behave well, mind the local customs somewhat and don't play bagpipes!

Of course, it is always grand if they have a reason ter be in the Shire beyond just coming to party (for instance, they could be in the Shire to trade, they could be passing through on their travels east/west or similar). If so, some news from the road is always welcome. Don't be surprised if the locals seem more interested in dancing and ales than in scary tales from outside the bounds, though *smiles*

Would a merry group of mihril guards be welcome at this fine event?

Aha, looks like i wont be the only Blue-dressed Dwarf attending this week!

[Taogan]

and don't play bagpipes!

*leans in and whispers* Lina is always a bit grumpy when it comes to bagpipes, but some other hobbits enjoy it !
... just, please don't tell her i told you that or she will... *shivers* please don't...

I can promise good behavior, i cant promise no bagpipes! (gah, no pipes, what is the world coming to?) But only if we are invited to play a song or two! So it is really up to you Hobbits!

We mithril guard have an IC reason to be wandering through or heading to many places due to our status as "guards of the dwarven trading roads and outposts" so it works out pretty well for us!

I will try to bring a few dwarves tonight to enjoy an ale or two with! See you there!

[Sidhon]

Tonight was my first visit to the Green Dragon Fridays. (My character was Amygdalus) I had a great time dancing and eating. I will be back again next week! Thank you to all the performers!

[Achy]

Lovely Friday!!

[Linawillow]

Another week, another Green Dragon Friday awaits. At least one poem has been promised! Else, expect the latest in songs and hobbit news, as well as meeting both old regulars and new attendants.

Welcome hobbits!

[Heleywen]

If anyone is intrested in hearing a tale or just a short poem or two, Heley has those..
But she is also very happy to just sit and look and listen to all the little folk as she usually do when surrounded by them

[Linawillow]

Every Friday is Green Dragon Friday, yay! So come to Bywater tonight, hobbits!

[Heleywen]

Dinner with a old friend came between.. Hopefully there will be another friday soon

[ReigningStupidity]

Our new rp kin went to this for the firsttime tonight, was a bit of a mix up with the queue but we had a great night - expect to see us there weekly from now on

Btw will all the non-hobbits in our kin have to roll hobbits for this event?

[Linawillow]

A warm welcome to yer! And yes, hobbits are much preferred, although a few dwarven visitors are always welcome.

[Linawillow]

Once again to Bywater, hobbits, for the latest in hobbit news, many songs, much dancing and whatever else we can think of! 8PM GMT/3PM servertime tonight.

A few tips for first-time visitors:
- Read the general guidelines for the event, see the first post of the thread.
- It is grand if people bring entertainment (songs, stories, poems, riddles or news)! Just remember to contact the "master of ceremonies" for the night (often myself) by a /tell to get your slot, so not everyone jumps in and plays their songs at the same time.
- Also remember that time on the night is limited, so keep your entertainment offers relatively short (3 songs instead of 6, stories lasting 10-15 minutes instead of 30 or more). There is always the next Friday too!
- The "master of ceremonies" hobbit is often very very busy sorting out offers for entertainment, which means that answers may take a few minutes. Engaging her/him with continued requests or long discussions by /tell is not recommended *smiles*
- If you'd rather chat and discuss matters with a few friends in a peaceful inn environment, the Dragon is large enough to accomodate that. Just move a little away from the main entertainment hub, for instance to the inn counter or to the other fireplace, and things are considerably more quiet.
- As always, GDF is a hobbit event, although a few dwarven visitors are always welcome.
- Go with the flow and enjoy yourself!

Welcome hobbits!

*sighs* An I'll have to give it a miss this week as the computers sound card has died....

[Linawillow]

The good thing is that yer wouldn't have been able ter hear master Matzo's grumbling and muttering then *giggles* Aww, though. Hope it is fixed soon!

Else, it was a lively night, with songs and stories, dance performances and much, much in the way of news. Good times hobbits! Thank yer all who came, warm greetings to all new visitors, and special thanks to those who offered entertainment!

Well well...was that a lovely evening or what ? Green Dragon Friday at its best . Thank you for a wonderful time , and I hope to see you all next week. The story I told (Silverfir and Goldengreen) can be read on The Chronicles of Laurelin. Please feel free to drop me a letter if you have an event to add to the Events Calendar. For those that still have never ventured to the Green Dragon, here are some sketches of last night.

Since returning to LOTRO on a regular basis, I've been playing my Hobbit (Paladric) moreso. I can't thank you all enough for the delightful roleplay, especially last week's Green Dragon Friday. It was the best I've attended so far, and had me in giggles. Thank you for making the game fun again!

[Linawillow]

Hobbits are go! To Bywater!

GDF tonight, with promises of many new poems and a special old and epic one. Else, music and dance, drinking, merriment and the latest in hobbit news. Enjoy, hobbits! 8PM GMT/3PM servertime!

[Heleywen]

Life outside ME is stupid and continue to have me doing stuffs at fridays... I hope I can come late and that some people is still around however...

[Amorey]

An other excellent night. A big thank you to Master Simbo whom was a gracious host and master of ceremony this evening. Lovely music, and poems and songs...the best the Shire can offer. Also many news of upcoming events and local gossip.

Looking forward to next week.

[Linawillow]

A lovely night again, aye hobbits! Well done to everyone who attended, performed, drank and partied until the early hours!

Sometimes, though, the really special things come fer those who stay until the very end. This time, we went up to the Three-Farthing stone and listened to Simbo's epic poem of Old Jacob, complete with music support and fireworks in the end.

A few images from the night below:

[Linawillow]

Friday once more. Green Dragon Friday once more!

Songs, dancing, poetry, tales, riddles, news, drinking and chatting ... no telling just what will happen, other than that Bywater is a place ter meet many of yer fellow hobbits on Fridays. Welcome!

[Linawillow]

It is indeed Friday, which can only mean... Green Dragon Friday! So off to Bywater tonight, hobbits! And new hobbit visitors are always welcome, just take a look at the guidelines in the first post, then come join the fun!

Else, the first entertainers fer tonight have already signed up, so that is a good sign. Else, we'll have songs, dances, news and whatever else pops up. Oh, and a certain secret thing is to be unveiled tonight too...

Hooray for Friday!

[Leira]

I've never been to one of these, but I'm very interested! It's a little difficult time-wise since I'm an NA player, but I'm going to try to attend today!
