To my local (Eastern PA-area) readers:
You are invited to two very exciting events to celebrate (and critique) the release of Peter Jackson's film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Both of these are public events on facebook, so you can RSVP there and invite your friends.
I. The Hobbit "Riddles in the Dark" Predictions game
Monday, Dec 10th, 4-6 pm
Lehigh Carbon Community College, Science Hall Room 144
Join me 4 days
before the film debut for a hilarious, lively, multi-media contest to
predict how Peter Jackson & Co. will depict J.R.R. Tolkien's
legendarium in "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"! This evening will
use the TV spots and trailers, references to many of Tolkien's published
works, and the "Riddles in the Dark Predictions Game" facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/
Attendees will be invited to make a $1 donation towards the rental of the room. You may wish to bring a laptop or other digital device to follow along on the facebook page and record your votes during the game.

Join me to watch the new
Hobbit movie in a private screening of our own, at a reduced group-rate
ticket price! This is the movie of the year, and a serious motion
picture event for all fans and scholar of The Inklings. Don't miss this
chance to see the movie with me and talk about it endlessly for weeks
afterwards!
The movie starts at 7:00 pm; seating in our theatre begins at 6:30. We need at least 50 people to get the special rate, so please invite your friends. Tickets cost $9.50; email me at iambic dot admonit at gmail dot com to make arrangements to get the money to me by Dec 1st.
We hope to retire to a noisy corner of Starbucks afterwards to analyze the film (i.e., talk it to death). If you can attend the Riddles in the Dark Predictions Game the week before (http://www.facebook.com/
