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. 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!

Oh, I remember a close friend of mine telling me about Les Triplettes de Belleville when it first came out---sounded very very good.

Here's hoping your tomorrow is just as good!

I've been to Andala. It is indeed very good.

Ironically, I just finished reading Rabuzzi's THE CHOIR BOATS.

I'm delighted to hear of such a lovely day. And I indeed hope you've 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.

Wait, I was in this conversation, but I don't know this word: στάσις. What?

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

Dan Rabuzzi was one of the panelists on my incredibly enjoyable Undefended Borders panel, so I can imagine the non-standard fantasy panel was also great (and I'm sorry I missed it).
