In 2008, reverancepavane resolves to...

Become a better posthuman.
Find a better paranoia.
Get back in contact with some old humans.
Put fifty albedo anthropomorphics a month into my savings account.
Admit my true feelings to edible_hat.
Cut down to ten girl genius a day.

an sf community service announcement

The following is a community service announcement on behalf of The Roman. Please pay attention. There will be a test afterwards.

( announcing an Adelaide SF convention - this Saturday )

So support Adelaidean fandom! [The real one, not the company that pretends to be one.] There is guaranteed to be no famous internatiuonal guest of honour. And no masquerade, but you can come dressed up it you want. And you can preview the 2009 Natcon (which is being held in Adelaide and looks likely to be a rather exclusive affair, if one was the sort to listen to gossip). Unless, of course, because of the late notice, you already have a booking you can't get out of...

saturday's gig guide

For those interested in some late night music and dance this Saturday (december 15), there is Spiral Dance's Slightly Early Summer Solstice gig at the Brecknock on King William Street. From 9pm to 1am and entry is free. Guarenteed to be lots of dancing and maybe even a chorus line doing the can-can (or in this case, the can't-can't). And if that's not to your taste, Melbourne-based band Dandelion Wine is also playing Adelaide at the Grace Emily from 11:30pm (preceded by local band Brillig at 10:15 and Victorian sonsmith Tim Hudsmith at 9:15). Probably much less dancing, as the followers of darkwave are generally too cool to dance, but equally good music. Decisons. Decisions. At least, if I get too depressed at Spiral I can always go visit Dandelion Wine and associate with the mostly emo-audience (not as tasty as most pagans, unless you get them out of their shell, in which case care must be taken when cooking or they will all fall apart; experience has led me to suggest a light dusting in flour and quickly frying in a light vegetable oil for the best results in this case).
