LOTRaThon 2003

[willskyfall]

Though most of you already know about this . . .

I bring news of the 3rd Annual Lord of the Rings-a-thon (now with more Hobbit): 49 continuous hours of Middle Earth! The students of Harvey Mudd College (mostly associated with East Dorm) will be reading through the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings in its entirety.

• Place: Galileo Pryne
  
• Time: Friday at 5 PM to 6 PM Sunday
  

There will also be live internet streaming of the performance, which should be available throughout at:

• Ogg Vorbis: http://corinth.st.hmc.edu:8000/lotr.ogg
  
• Higher-quality Ogg Vorbis: http://corinth.st.hmc.edu:8000/lotr-hi.ogg
  
• Streaming Status Page: http://corinth.st.hmc.edu:8000/status.xsl

Pass the word on to any lover of the books or movies, or anyone you might find intrigued by the possibility of inundating themsleves with the language of Tolkien.
