Lewis and Inklings Society’s 13th annual gathering. The latter is just a three-hour drive for me (as opposed to a 1,500-mile airplane trip). Please feel free to drop back by and let us know how Tolkien 2010 goes. :)Jason Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809154870762268253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050528436539921312.post-54366635067139717582010-02-02T10:05:14.788-06:002010-02-02T10:05:14.788-06:00I went to the 2009 conference for the first time l...I went to the 2009 conference for the first time last spring. I thought it was excellent. I plan to go again in 2010.

I absolutely love the class, it's so much fun, and as much as I adore Tolkien, I've learned so much more than I could have possibly imagined about Middle Earth.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I'd heard about the conference before I made the decision to attend UVM, which helped influence my decision to attend, and although it's still fairly local it's actually a pretty big thing on campus. I'll definitely let you know how it goes, especially because I was selected to join a small number of students and professors to enjoy a dinner after the conference with the guest speaker, Jane Chance, which I'm very excited about. Keep up the publicity!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050528436539921312.post-55446798622369086372009-04-09T11:00:00.000-05:002009-04-09T11:00:00.000-05:00Hi, Leia.

How have you been enjoying Dr. Vaccaro’s class?<BR/><BR/>I think the conference <I>is</I> still a fairly small, mostly local affair, as you’ve imagined, but I do my part to publicize it, as do a few others I know. It speaks very well of the conference (and the larger appeal of Vermont in April) that it attracts a lot of “repeat customers”, both those speaking and those attending. I plan to be back next year. Please feel free to drop back by hear and leave comments about the conference itself. I’d love to hear how it went.Jason Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809154870762268253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050528436539921312.post-54844798105029926882009-04-09T09:57:00.000-05:002009-04-09T09:57:00.000-05:00I'm a student at UVM and I'm currently enrolled in...I'm a student at UVM and I'm currently enrolled in a Tolkien's Middle Earth class, and we're required to attend this conference. I think it's going to be great, and it's really wonderful that there's other people outside of the Burlington community that are aware of this conference! It's actually sort of weird, I always imagined this was a relatively small local thing, but I seem to be coming across it a lot, which is actually really cool, I'm very excited about this weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
