Mathom party, coming soon (Seattle)

[gement]

"The Mathom-House it was called; for anything that Hobbits had no immediate use for, but were unwilling to throw away, they called a mathom. Their dwellings were apt to become rather crowded with mathoms, and many of the presents that passed from hand to hand were of that sort." -- The Fellowship of the Ring, J.R.R. Tolkein

I have eight boxes of random objects plus three boxes of books, all of which I suspect my friends might want. I am inviting you to come over of an evening or afternoon and scavenge my worldly goods. You may also bring your own worldly goods, in the hopes that they will be scavenged as well.

Rules:
If you bring a Mathom that does not find a new home, you must carry it away again.

Okay, just the one rule, then. And I'm happy to coordinate with people about doing a Goodwill run at the end of the party. There will be the displaying of treasures, and probably the eating of snacks as well. Who's in?

P.S. Plantae had one of these recently and it was a rousing success. Remember, if you host, you don't have to haul stuff as far... I'd love to see this start happening every two months, like a floating generosity-meet. Moot? Anyway.

If you want to piggyback an announcement of another gathering here, I'll happily add it to the post or to future announcements for you.
