And he needs to be convinced?
Well, he never answered my original email telling him about the concert. He's not a good email communicator. I think he might be working, which would be too bad.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".
