Snowflake Challenge Day 3

[phyncke]

In your own space, tell us who, from one of your fandoms, would you most want to have dinner with (or tea, or a random afternoon visit), And why? This could be a creator, an actor, a costumer, a set designer, a director, a character, a composer, anybody! What would you talk about? What are you dying to know?

This is really tough but I think I am going to go with the first entity that popped into my mind and that was Gandalf the Grey from Lord of the Rings otherwise known as Mithrandir. I have always thought he was a really cool character and in our dinner party, I would want to have a very hobbit-like feast. Tons of food and a cozy place to sit in and a stoop to sit on so we could watch the sunset and Gandalf could blow his really cool smoke rings from his pipe. I imagine long interesting conversations about his adventures in the world and wanderings and much merriment. He appears in the form of Ian McLellan in the movie-verse, of course, because that is the image I have of him now. I think that just works for Gandalf and was just such a good portrayal of him. So it would be a nice long dinner and a smoke after. I would ask him about all of his adventures and have him tell me his stories. He is just such a fascinating person. So that is what I think for this one.

Peter Jackson was a close one on this too - just would love to talk to him about the LOTR films and all that - but Gandalf was first for me.

Followed your link on Snowflake Challenge. I love your answer. I would love to hang out with Gandalf. Maybe he could teach me how to blow smoke rings, or a little sparkler magic, or...

[phyncke]

I forgot about the fireworks - he is good at those too! Yes.

[perspi]

Agreed, Gandalf would make a most excellent guest! Thanks for sharing.

[phyncke]

He seems like such a social person too - like he likes to hang out. So I think he would be fun to dine with and chat with. I mean if the hobbits like him - he has to be ok.

Of course Gandalf might have other plans for you if you invite him in for dinner; you never know where that road will take you. But I do think he's still a good choice (as is Jackson).

[phyncke]

That is the trick with him, yes. I could end up on the road somewhere dangerous.

Oh yes, Gandalf would be such an interesting character to meet and a hobbit feast sounds like fun!

[phyncke]

I think so - and his smoke rings - don't forget those - I don't smoke but I would love to see all the shapes he can make.

[littlelostcat]

Yes! Gandalf the Grey would have stories and, you know, he would be planning another adventure that you could join. But he also knows everyone - he'd probably drag along a hobbit or dwarf or two.

[phyncke]

All of that would be totally fun!
