Monday 23 May 2011: Prepping for Towel Day at The Hobbit Cafe

Posted by mike | Meetings | Posted on May 23rd, 2011

Martin Freeman has been tapped to play Bilbo Baggins in the upcoming movie adaptation of The Hobbit.  This brings together three beloved works of geekdom, as Freeman also plays John Watson, M.D., in the BBC’s modern version of the Sherlock story, and he played Arthur Dent in the (somewhat regrettable) movie version of THHGTTG.

Wednesday (25 May) is Towel Day, so come along to celebrate this “elementary” convergence at the Hobbit Cafe, 2243 Richmond Avenue.  Even though there will be no Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters on offer, all the froods will be there.  See you at 8 PM.

See you there around 8 PM.
