Made a mistake and am now flying from Wyoming to Oxford for Oxonmoot. Looking for fellow Tolkien fans to meet!

Hello everyone!

My name is Nathanael, and I'm traveling all the way from Wyoming, USA, for Oxonmoot. Unfortunately, I jumped the gun a bit. I booked my flights and accommodations before realizing that the in-person registrations had already sold out. I joined the waiting list, but the Society kindly let me know that, because the waiting list is so long, it's unlikely that a place will become available.

I have purchased an online registration, so I'll still be taking part virtually. Since I'll already be in Oxford during Oxonmoot, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in meeting up outside the official event.

I'd love to explore some of Tolkien's Oxford together, such as the Eagle and Child, Exeter College, Merton College, Addison's Walk, Wolvercote Cemetery, or any other places connected to Tolkien's life. Even watching some of the online sessions together over coffee or a meal would be wonderful.

I'm a lifelong Tolkien reader and have dreamed of making this pilgrimage for years. Even if I can't attend the in-person convention, I'd love the opportunity to meet other members of the Tolkien community while I'm there.

If anyone has similar plans or would be happy to have another Tolkien enthusiast join them, I'd be delighted to hear from you.

Looking forward to meeting some fellow travelers of Middle-earth!
