I'm so glad you did too! I saw one photo somewhere (Twitter? FB?) of the audience-packed room and thought Yessss! Excellent all around.
According to comments at File 770, we had the largest turnout after Susanna Clarke. Which I think is not too shabby at all.
Thank you.
And what a great mermaid. I like her a lot.
An artist whose name I cannot remember at present had an entire page of paintings of tattooed mermaids when I was in college. I believe his theory was that sailors shared the art with mermaids, who then adapted it to their own aesthetics. I want to say David somebody. [resorted to Google] David Delamare! A very suitable name for a sea-painter. This looks like one of the paintings I was thinking of; I believe this was the other. This was part of the same series.
