No really, I do! When we were in Huntsville, I was a lone wolf in that respect. I would follow the LOTR costuming yahoo list and pine woefully for a group of people I could do LOTR-related outings with. I really feel so very fortunate to live in a place with a group like this and particularly one that's actually active!

Thanks, me too! They really are! Particularly those who can be bribed with beer in exchange for their free services. ;)
