I looked up and saw a mirror among the pigeons and the planes
My delirious Arisia continues. Actually it's going all right. This morning I moderated "Stories of Displacement" and stayed I think on reasonable track; I regret only that I referred to one panelist as "Alex" when he was in fact a Steve. I did not expect one of my fellow panelists on "Judaism's Influence on SF/F" to turn out to be a friend of two Brandeis friends of mine, but given the subject matter perhaps this was inevitable. Both were a lot of fun. People said interesting things. (I said interesting things which I remember much less well.) In between I wandered around the dealer's room and the art show, ran into people and apologized for not talking a lot, drank cup after Styrofoam cup of hot water with honey in it, and read three-quarters of Alfred Hayes' In Love (1953), which I have now finished and recommend. Normally I would have stayed late for the Post-Meridian Radio Players' genderswapped Star Trek, but instead I went home, ate some clam chowder, and stared at nothing for several hours. Autolycus tried to eat my hair and got so confused when he failed that his small pink tongue stuck out in a tragically unphotographed blep. I might lie back down on the couch again.

Glad to know Arisia's going well, in spite of that virus that's got you in its grips.

One of these days, I will capture Autolycus' blep for posterity!

Thank you! I didn't lose my voice for the Kipling circle! All I have left are the two readings tomorrow and then I can sleep!

Lots of different kinds of art! Mostly paintings, sketches, and prints, but also woodblocks, pottery, felt, and the one guy who is slowly building a Tiffany lamp in the shape of a pitcher plant.
Will the panels be online at some point?
I certainly hope so—I'll try to find out.

Does he show up a lot?

He's been there the last couple of years, each time having built more of the lamp. The first year it was sort of a prototype, last year it was a stained-glass pitcher plant that lit up but was not yet part of the standing lamp, and this year it was a standing lamp with one stained-glass pitcher plant on it, eventually to be joined by others. I'm really looking forward to the finished lamp. [edit] I found his website! This is what he had last year. As of this year, it's mounted on the pole of a standing lamp as opposed to just plugged into the wall.

(Also, only be sure always to call it please "research" I love that song!)
