386 – Got to Get You into My Life

Enjoying the @prancingponypod.bsky.social series on Aldarion and Erendis. I’m struck by how bad the relationship was BEFORE they got married (Erendis, girl, come on 🚩🚩🚩)

P.S. The reference to “getting married over the age of 30” is from Sleepless in Seattle 🙂

The PPP Plays The Lord of the Rings Online! YouTube video by The Prancing Pony Podcast Productions

The Man of the West returns to the adventures of Hilbern the River Hobbit in LotRO for tonight's session of PPP! www.youtube.com/live/4eqKIu-...

And a note for those who would still like to consider supporting the moot: 100% of any remaining funds from your contributions will go towards lowering the costs of our next moot, so please consider it if you'd like to go to a moot sometime.

This past Saturday's livestream - aka the Manic Moot Marathon - was a LOT of fun, and I specifically want to thank all of you who attended the livestream. Many of you registered for the event, or chose to support the Moot financially. Thank you!

If you can't be with us in-person, the online event will provide you with as much of the full PPP Moot experience as possible, and we encourage you to register for that soon if you'll be joining us online.

Come spend time with your fellow Tolkien fans, and meet the PPP team, including The Man of the West, as well as our keynote speakers: Bret Devereaux, Christopher Gilson, and The Lord of the Mark himself, Shawn Marchese!

Right now, we have close to 50 people planning on being there in-person in Dallas from Dec 18-21, but we'd love to have you join us, too!

And if you have registered to attend in-person, but haven't booked your room yet, go do that now: the link is available from our event page - theprancingponypodcast.com/moot/.

If you've been waiting to make sure this event would happen before booking your registration, travel, and lodging, please go ahead and do that now!

Thanks to the generosity of so many listeners, the hard work of our team, a perfect sponsor for the moot, and the many of you who registered for the moot during Saturday's livestream, I'm thrilled to announce that the in-person portion of our moot will go ahead as planned!
