The Grey Pilgrim rides again!
It’s been a while since we’ve had an update here – Gandalf must have had business elsewhere, as a wizard often does – but here’s the latest! Gandalf in Europe is currently travelling around Italy, taking in some fabulous landmarks in places such as Pisa and Rome. If there’s time, he may make a quick stop in Switzerland – though he may be obliged to say, ‘Now, I have no time!’ and jump on that transatlantic eagle to head back to San Diego. The American Mithrandir made it over to the East side of the country! Recently, he’s been in Atlanta and then New England, where he stopped off in Rhode Island, Boston and Concord – taking time to tell the British army ‘You shall not pass!” at the...
Gandalf goes to school
During Gandalf’s recent swing through Southern California he stopped by a local high school to check on the progress of the students. By the looks of things, it appears Tolkien is well loved at this school. The teacher, Miss Burke, had this to say about the visit. “This is my 11th grade English Honors class at Walnut High School in Walnut, CA. They were so pumped about having Gandalf in the class– some were not wanting him to leave!” She also took Gandalf to the beach for a surfing lesson, but a camera malfunction prevented any pictoral proof of said lessons. Me thinks Gandalf was just too shy to be seen in a wetsuit and he conjured a spell to dissuade the camera from working...
Gandalf goes to Disneyland
On October 1, 2011 Gandalf went to Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. He shopped on Main Street USA, visited with Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse, ran away from a rather large whale, climbed the Matterhorn, and hung out with an Alumni from Mordor University. Busy day for the Grey Wanderer, no wonder he lost his hat. For more pics, please see the link on the menu to the left.
Gandalf visits the Baggins’ Birthday Bash in LA
On Saturday, September 24, 2011, Gandalf made a little stop at Griffith Park in Los Angeles, the site of TORn’s annual Baggins’ Birthday Bash. During the party there was Hobbit style feasting, contests, music and a rousing game of Golfimbul. Prizes were awarded, fun was had, and good eats abounded. TORn hosts this party every year, but we rarely get such a special guest as Gandalf. In these pictures we see Gandalf watching a pair of rangers play the Bagpipes and Bodhran, and the ever popular Golfimbul...
