dearest friends of the shire,

by order of bilbo baggins (and with a quill dangerously close to running out of ink), i write to you in my official capacity as chief purveyor of party business for shirecon 2025.

should you have questions—such as:

​

“should i pack my tent?”

“can i bring my lute, kazoo, or tame crow?”

“will there be second breakfasts?”

“can i contribute something to the celebration?”

​

the answer is almost always a cheerful yes, especially if it involves food, firewood, banners, bardic talent, or anything that sparkles under starlight.

please do reach out with anything you wish to offer, request, or inquire about. the more we know, the better we can prepare—and the fewer goblins will sneak into the planning scrolls.​

yours truly in planning, pies, and party logistics,

​​​
