A long awaited party

[andrewducker]

Last night was ashfae's 33rd birthday party. Which is, of course, the age at which hobbits come of age, and thus involved everyone dressing up on LOTR-style (or vague approximation).

Costumes varied between Julie and I as "Some of those background people from Helms Deep":

(Julie in an awesome dress she found on Ebay, me in my brother Hugh's LARP gear)

to the awesome efforts put in by Hal (WINOLJ) as Gimli, son of Gloin:


and the delightful stylings of erindubitably as The Dark Tower of Barad-dûr:


There were lots of other good costumes too, and we both had an awesome time. Thanks muchly to fyrie for lots of organising, and randomchris for keeping lots of awesome food coming and general awesomeness.

Great description - she looks really fab!

You and Julie look good too though, I like Julie's dress :)

and now you'll be able to recognise her when you meet her!

She didn't have the energy for complex stuff, so we went with simple :->

Should I be worried that I can read the banner on the wall? :-)

Heh. Probably. But after your prompting that it'd be possible to read it, I'm now pretty confident I know what it says, despite not recognising the specific language or being able to make any sense of two-thirds of the glyphs.
