Won't you come down to Yarmouth Town?
Actually, I stayed awake for the entire day. The panel on non-standard fantasy (moderated by Daniel Rabuzzi) was a lot of fun. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
s00j performed two songs at the chantey sing that I would like recordings of. My grandfather's birthday observed fit perfectly between panels I had to be on and panels I wanted to hear. And I have a hardcover of Laurence Yep's The Serpent's Children (1984), because when I met up with my best cousins and B for dinner in Central Square, they were in the children's section of Rodney's and I have a very poor track record of leaving used book stores empty-handed. (We went to Andala, which really is like someone else's house with amazing food. I ate my weight in chicken musakhan and the conversation was the kind that starts with the images children grow out of and ends with the duties of cats, detouring along the way for Cary Grant, bad fairy porn, and στάσις. There is a reason they are my best cousins.) I got home and my brother and his wife were watching Les Triplettes de Belleville (2003). Wish me the same luck tomorrow!

Your subject line reminded me of this Youtube video--came acrost it when I was working on the paper that eventually became my master's thesis. "Yarmouth Town": Planxty, live, in 1974.

What did you think of it?

Also, it was, as always, really really good to see you!

Classical Greek for factionalism; a state of ongoing political strife. You had some portmanteaux on the subject.

Yes! And I'm not going to be in New York next weekend! We should hang out!

I hadn't even known they existed. I clearly need to be on better speaking terms with my (present) city.

It has fantastic music, a valiant grandmother, and amazing physical comedy which is not lessened by the fact that the film is a cartoon. I recommend it, although the bit with Fred Astaire's shoes is a little unsettling.
Here's hoping your tomorrow is just as good!
It was surprisingly awesome!

Thanks! I learned the song first from the Starboard List, but my favorite version is Peter Bellamy.
no subject
Also, cool, next weekend! Let us email to specify!

You're welcome! And thank you! I just listened to the Bellamy version--it's brilliant. Live, I take it?

Lots of good recommendations were had by all.
What was "Undefended Borders"?
no subject
SF and fantasy have a clear border, one bristling with ray-guns and mind-shields, but there are other ways of sneaking up on the space between them. A discussion of some of the books and stories that do this.
We covered a lot of ground, and as moderator I was particularly pleased by the way I could just lob a conversational point into the mix and watch the other panelists enthusiastically go with it.
