I have an idea!We could put it in a small town like Rodney(it is right beside Lake Eerie and Michagen.[Hope I spelled it right])and that's where I'm from but I moved to St.Thomas. It's got this huge park and an old lot that my cousin(who is Wil Smith.Raise the roof)owns and we could party there!Does anyone know where St.Thomas is?If you do,you might know where West lorne is,which is right beside Rodney.

BW, Sharku, Mr Underhill and I have been monitoring this thread and others like it. While we understand why members would want to meet one another, we are a bit concerned and wish to emphasize that care must be taken if you choose to arrange such a meeting.

First, the Barrow-Downs itself is not involved in organizing such meetings and does not intend to be in the future. These meetings are arranged by individuals or groups of individuals and we take no responsibility for the outcome. The decision to meet is made by individual members at their own risk. We are not providing transportation, accomodations or security and are not involved in the choice of locale or the agenda.

If you choose to meet, individually or in groups, please think it through, plan carefully and be careful! Meet in public with other persons present. Make sure that others know where you are going and who you are meeting. Think twice before providing personal information to other members such as e-mail addresses, telephone numbers or home addresses and do not send anyone money or credit card information.

We're sorry to throw a wet blanket over this but we are concerned about peoples' safety and want to emphasize that this is not an "official", sanctioned event sponsored by the Barrow-Downs. If you choose to meet, good luck and we hope that you enjoy yourselves. But please be careful!

Oh Mithadan! Once a lawyer, always a lawyer I guess! Good advice though.

I made my first ever trip across the border to Canada this past weekend. Who-ya it's cold up there! Almost ghost-town-like because of it. Better wait until Spring to arrange a get-together so people (well, wimps like me) will actually be willing to leave their houses!

Hello, all! Yes, I too am a Canadian Barrow-Downer.
I'm up two hours north of Toronto, around Collingwood, the skiing place. (I was in Toronto yesterday for an audition, though, and I'll be living there next year if I get accepted. Hopefully either George Brown or Humber colleges.)
I was priviledged to see both of the exhibits in Toronto: The Fellowship one at Casa Loma, and TTT at the ROM. Unfortunately, I didn't know about this meeting thing then, or I would have tried to help out with the organizing.
I went in costume with one of my friends, too! But the lines were too long for me to get into the gift shop. We looked from a distance. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Nice to see a few Torontonians on here though. And did someone say they were from Sydney? I went there once.

I am Not Canadian, but I just want to say is that I love Canada. It is great, the people are so nice, and it is such a beautiful country. Even though I am from the US I have been all over the Country. I only live about 4 hours from Vancouver B.C. and it is one of my favorite cities in the entire world [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
So it is great to see all these Canadians, because you are all very nice, wonderful people.

Aww, thanks Gorwingel! You deserve a special shoulder-pat.

Two hours east of Winnipeg. So so small, I hate my town. Can you believe it: only two LotR freaks in my class! And I am one of them!

Thanks, I hope to maybe go up there for a small trip in the summer. I have been to so many places (New York, Paris, Rome, London...) and Vancouver (or Victoria) is one of the places that I would actually consider moving too (Vancouver has the most amazing Park I have ever been too, and the city is so wonderful to walk around and everything) Though every time I have ever went there it rained. I proudly wear my Roots team Canada shirt many times throughout the year.
I have also visited the east part of the country, which is enjoyable, but different. Though I think I would need to take a longer there to experience it more.

Genevieve and I live in the same town (AK). We live very close to BC (Canada). I LOVE Whitehorse, and the Yukon. We do annual roadtrips up there (ravenous skeeters). Well, we'll be going there soon. Does anyone live in Whitehorse, or somewhere in the Yukon?

Does anybody here know of any celebrity appearances at our premiers of ROTK?
I know Ian Mckellen was in Vancouver for FOTR and his only complaint was that you can't drink in your hotel rooms here [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
You know, I'm so jealous. One of my best friends grad-ed last year and now he's moving to New Zealand this month! His exact quote was,
"Woot I'm going to the Shire!"
I hope he gets into the premier and sends me lots of (sob) pictures. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Any Canadian Barrowdownie who lives anywhere near the west coast who has "The new VI" channel, be sure to tune in on Thursday(tomorrow) at 10 pm, they're doing a behind the scenes look at the ROTK movie. Lots of spoilers I'm sure. As well, they're doing some kind of trivia contest on the 10th but you have to live in Victoria. For more info, PM me, and I'll get it to you.
See you on a thread,
bye!

No, you are not the only Canadian, don't worry!

I didn't get to go to Trilogy Tuesday, but some people I know that went found that there wasn't a whole lot of people, at least not at the theatre they went to. Aparently ROTK started at 10pm, 2 full hours before it was officially released! They had about 30 minut breaks inbetween each movie, and there were different contests, like one you got a T-shirt if you had the best Nazgul scream!

Lovely how you said Calgarian first and then Canadian... you think you're better than us people from the prairie, eh? well, you are probably right No, darned I've been living here for too long!

I don't know about... wherever in Sask. you live Valier but over here EVERYONE seems to hate this city... then they go ice-skating, or they play hockey, bike around or hike during summer.... and of course, there are a few (admittedly not many, but probably enough) bars and such. I think it's the small town mentality... people want to be in big, busy metropolies rather than easygoing small cities. Personally, I love it here, much better than NYC-sized Buenos Aires.

Disclaimer: My use of the word "eh" pre-dates my immigration to Canada. Eh IS a word and I've been using it since I can recall.

Edit: And to answer Valier's last question, the weather has behaved yesterday and today. It rained!! that's something you don't see very often in December. And today it's zero degrees!!! I couldn't be happyer.
