An Axe-Wielding Minstrel Goes to Mythmoot

MinstrelAxe-300x300For those who don’t know, Mythmoot is one of the many brainchildren of Corey Olsen, the Tolkien Professor.  Eager for a a way to discuss The Hobbit:  An Unexpected Journey with fellow Tolkien enthusiasts the good professor established Mythmoot so that the desired gathering could watch the film and discuss it at length without upsetting the average movie goer.  And it was so successful Dr. Olsen is doing it again for The Desolation of Smaug and making it bigger and better with a call for papers and a three person panel featuring Middle Earth Network friends and stunning artistic talents Jef Murray and Ted Nasmith as well as Network Founder John Di Bartolo.

Should you be in the Baltimore area this weekend, you may still be able to get in and attend this gathering of fans, scholars and artists.
