- Hello to all! I have survived finals (much to my surprise) and
- am geering up for Arisia. A few late breaking developments
- warrant my posting this final update.
-
- Filk schedule for Arisia:
- General Filking: we have at least two rooms for general filking,
- Cambridge and Beacon Hill. (The same as last year for those
- familiar with the con.) Filking will start at 10 p.m. and
- continue until whenever. The programing people promise to
- have the rooms arranged in a circle and to have water for
- us.
-
- Concerts: This is the current concert schedule, based on
- all the information currently available. Subject to change
- (see below)
-
- Friday: 5:30-6:30 Stanboro. Cynthia McQuillon and Dr Jane Robinson
- will perform from 5:30-6 p.m. Jack Carrol (local filker/folk singer.
- Very good voice and guitar work) will perform from 6-6:30 p.m.
- (Don't worry, Cynthia and Jane will perform again later in the
- con.)
-
- Saturday: Nothing at the moment. I am TRYING to get an hour
- slot, which will feature Critical Mass, Rennie Levine, and
- 2 singers Spence has told me about but I can't remember their
- names.
-
- Sunday: Major concert in the Ballroom from 12 noon to 2 p.m.
- T.J. Burnside-Clapp (with Mitchel, if he comes) 12-12:45

-
- One-Shots: the one shots will be in the Constitution Room

-
- *Special Programing*
- Story-telling: The Most Worshipful Company of Story Tellers of
- Carolingia (local SCA story-teller's guild) will hold their
- monthly meeting on Friday. Room has not yet been determined.
- The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. and will probably run 'til people
- run out of stories (guild meetings usually end about 11 p.m.)
- Business will be kept to a minimum (read, almost none and
- all conducted in the first five minutes). The story-teller's
- guild promotes the art of story-telling in an SCA context, but
- this is not rgidly enforced. The guild also provides feedback
- and instruction for them that wish. Heckling permitted, but
- the First Speaker (guildmaster) will squelch it if it rages
- out of control or for any other reason he feels like. Come if
- you like story-telling, or are curoius about story-telling or
- the SCA.
-

- at 9 p.m. on Friday night for people who want to know how
- to preserve their voices for all-night Filk. Constitution room.
