YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

***Mithadan*** · 04-22-2003, 07:06 PM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BARROW-DOWNS!On May 1, 2003, the forums at the Barrow-Downs will reach the ripe old age of THREE! While the site itself is a bit older, the third anniversary of the opening of the forums is a cause to CELEBRATE!!!!! Therefore, we will have a PARTY in celebration of the third birthday (uh, death day?) of the Barrow-Downs forums and all members are invited!!!!! This year’s party will include the presentation of the first Barrow-Downs Awards, known far and wide as the Downies. The celebration will begin with a red carpet entrance before guests enter the Grand Hall where the ceremonies will take place. Come in costume and in character assuming the proper flourishes and airs of the Barrow-Downs elite and don’t forget to strike a pose before the paparazzi; this may be your 15 minutes of fame. But remember, there may never again be so many Administrators, Moderators and Assistants assembled in one place at the same time again, so while the party will be fun and funny, don’t forget to maintain some slight sense of decorum.PLACE: The Grand Hall of Minas Anor (the Gondor RPG forum in a thread to be opened there). TIME: Thursday, May 1, 2003 beginning at 9:00am EDT until???? DRESS: Formal Middle Earth Wear. There will be an open bar, and meals will served by our polite wait staff. COME CELEBRATE THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE BARROW-WIGHT AND THE BARROW-DOWNS! RSVP

This site has been around for 3 years, and I just found it a little under a year ago? Where have I been? Anyway, happy birthday Barrow-Downs!!! Sorry. Went a little smiley-crazy just now.

In an attempt to answer everyone's questions, I offer the following:1. EDT = Eastern Daylight Time.2. No, you don't have to get there at 9am.3. Last years ran for weeks, so expect this years to be around for a bit.4. No, you don't REALLY have to RSVP.

Merry Christmas..........................wait........... ................um................................ ..arh...........Happy Funeral!We are gathered here on this joyious occasion to cheer for the deceased that gather at 9 am and beyond. All are envited, wether wights, newly deceased, or a shadow of Carn Dum. The dead will gather to celebrate the deaths of so many for the past three years. Actually the living may not pass the doors(or web site) of the dead and stay living. They will join the dead ones and light little candles of their own.
