I agree. Also, because an Elvish ball seems a good way to wind things down...more solemn, because who is actually happy when summer ends?


Unless you're the Elves in the Hobbit. Remember, PJ & Co made changes to Tolkien elves:


J.R.R.Tolkien wrote:
Just then there came a burst of song like laughter in the trees:
O! What are you doing,
And where are you going?
Your ponies need shoeing!
The river is flowing!
O tra-la-la-lally!
here down in the valley!

O! Will you be staying,
Or will you be flying?
Your ponies are straying!
The daylight is dying!

To fly would be folly,
To stay would be jolly
And listen and hark
Till the end of the dar
to our tune
ha! ha!

So they laughed and sang in the trees; and pretty fair nonsense I daresay you would think it. Not that they would care; they would only laugh all the more if you told them so. They were elves of course.

If I go to the Elven Ball, could I still be crazy?

Hehe. :P

Good point Ivy. I guess elves are just generally thought to be more serious, especially in Lord of the Rings. *shrugs* Plus, I can't see hobbits being anything but lively and jolly at a party! :D

So will this ball include name/ID/look changes to a Hobbit theme (a sort of masque) Such as Jennifer Smith becomes Marigold Foxburr or Michael Williams becomes Berilac Bramble? Or just keep to ourselves this time...

I like the idea of Hobbity name changes! :D Also, to what date would the ball last?

I also like the idea of Hobbit name changes.

I'm not entirely sure what all the fuss is about not knowing who people are. I enjoyed that aspect of it last time. If you're really, really stumped. Send that person a quick PM and ask them, without revealing them to everyone. ;)

So by having Hobbit names, is the purpose to not know who everyone else is? :huh: Or are we still supposed to know? I think you can look at it both ways.

Yes, I agree with you there Gwen. It could just be taken as everyone is joining in the Hobbit spirit, by having Hobbit-y names. People could place in their sig if they wanted, who they are.

I like that idea. :) After all, it doesn't have to be a Masquerade ball like last time. No need to be guessing who everyone is. :P (I don't really mind that aspect, but we could save that for the end of summer, perhaps.)

Yes, actually. I think it should be made known that if you are going to use a Hobbit name, you have to mention who you are in your sig. I think it would be nice to have the Masquerade as a special event for Christmas.

Someome will have to give me some pointers on Hobbit names though. I am only really familar with those mentioned in the films. :P
