Liner Note #16: The Days of Venus, HIV, & Brickphones

Mirrored from the latest entry in Daron's Guitar Chronicles.

Hello all, Cecilia here, popping in with some meta. Thanks for reading Daron’s Guitar Chronicles and I hope you’re enjoying that new chapters are flowing again after our hiatus.

A couple of notes about recent chapters that you might find of interest.

FAST AND LOOSE
I played fast and loose with a couple of dates and live shows and I should come clean about that.

First, apologies to Treat Her Right/Morphine for using them as a prop here. See, here’s the thing. My roommate Mac and I went to a show one night at Venus de Milo. We had gone there to dance, I think, and didn’t know there was going to be a surprise show. He and I moved in together in 1990 so technically that was a year after when the scene with Daron and Jonathan takes place at Venus. So I transposed the show a year earlier.

The really fudgy part is that I don’t know what band we saw.

Hogwarts Alumni Party at Arisia (i.e. Harry Potter party for grown-ups)

Guess what? I got a room in the party block at Arisia! So I will be throwing two parties. A Circlet Press book party on Friday night after the Circlet 20th Anniversary Extravaganza (panel with book giveaways, etc) 9:30p-1am, and then
Saturday night:

HOGWARTS ALUMNI PARTY!
9pm – 1am Saturday January 14
Arisia SF Convention (Boston)
Westin Room 462

The Hogwarts Alumni Association and HPEF/Ascendio welcome you to a party for adult fans of Harry Potter. Those in Potteresque costumes may win door prizes! Members of all Houses as well as alumni of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang are also welcome. Those not in houses will be sorted upon entry. Muggles may need the aid of a witch or wizard to enter. NO DUELING. (That means you, Gilderoy!)

I could use some volunteers to help me run the Hogwarts party. Can you bake cauldron cakes? Bring butterbeer? Donate door prizes? Make flyers and/or put them up around the con? Something I haven’t thought of? Please comment or email me at ravenna_c_tan @ yahoo.com!

We should have info available about Ascendio if you haven’t already been fully informed about the HPEF convention in Orlando this coming July. (http://hp2012.org for more info)

We *should* be in room 462, but check the party board/flyers just in case there are any last minute hotel moves…
