WEDNESDAY, April 1st at 7pm: THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH Concludes

“So many things are possible just as long as you don't know they're impossible.”

Finn Zeddmore concludes Norton Juster’s fantasy adventure for younger readers: a roller coaster of language, wit, and tongue-in-cheek wisdom that is beloved by generations of readers since it was first published in 1961 in an edition famously illustrated by Jules Feiffer.

As he travels "The Lands Beyond" and meets new friends, Milo also discovers something else: life is far from boring or dull; it actually offers much to be discovered.

Presented live in Voice. https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Holly%20Kai%20Estates/215/44/27

TUESDAY, March 31st at 7pm: DREAMS IN THE SAND with Ktadhn Vesuvino

The best way to see a sand sculpture is to be on the beach, watching as the sand is piled and carved. Hear the breaking waves, feel the spray on your face, taste the salt on your lips, feel the sand under your bare feet. For most people, opportunity is infrequent.
 
 This presentation brings the beach to SL. It is woven from three main components, each of which has fascinated Kt for many years. Photography came first, after he inherited a camera and became interested in visual composition. Writing started as something done for himself and grew beyond that limitation. Sand sculpture was an engineering experiment and, through years, became more wide-ranging because he enjoyed doing it.

    Time is the sliding window in which he has built this program. It starts in the fall of 2018 and runs through early March 2020. Some of the sculptures sparked their own poems. Other poems came from less immediate roots, as in between sculptures he thinks about what they're made from and how he make them. There's a shared common core of imagery, word-images, light-images, sand-images. All are necessary.

MONDAY March 30th at 7pm: THE UGLY LITTLE BOY by Isaac Asimov

- by Isaac Asimov -

THE UGLY LITTLE BOY 

A woman takes a job to be a nanny.  Her charge is strange, lonely and by our standards homely.  With a large head, brow ridges and sloping brow and muscles like a five year old weightlifter he's a perfect example of Homo neanderthalensis.

TUESDAY, March 24th at 7pm: GOBLIN LAKE

During the Thirty Years’ War, a soldier named (of course) Jack is, for a prank, thrown into a lake

whose waters are said to change anything they touch. Beneath the surface, Jack finds a whole other world where time passes rather differently, falls in love with the king of the lake’s daughter.

But – what is fiction, and what is reality?

Author Michael Swanwick has received the Hugo, Nebula, Theodore Sturgeon, and World Fantasy Awards for his work. Stations of the Tide was honored with the Nebula Award and was also nominated for the Hugo and Arthur C. Clarke Awards. "The Edge of the World," was awarded the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award in 1989. It was also nominated for both the Hugo and World Fantasy Awards. "Radio Waves" received the World Fantasy Award in 1996. "The Very Pulse of the Machine" received the Hugo Award in 1999, as did "Scherzo with Tyrannosaur" in 2000.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

"Shawn Kelvin, a blithe young lad of 20, went to the States to seek his fortune. And 15 years thereafter he returned to his native Kerry, his blitheness sobered and his youth dried to the core, and whether he had made his fortune or whether he had not no one could be knowing for certain. For he was a quiet man, not given to talking about himself and the things he had done."

~ Maurice Walsh's THE QUIET MAN

~ at 6:30pm: CORWYN ALLEN, Live! with songs and music of the Emerald Isle

~ at 7:10pm: Maurice Walsh's THE QUIET MAN with Caledonia Skytower, from the original 1933 text, first published in The Saturday Evening Post

SUNDAY, March 15th Beginning at 1PM slt: CELEBRATIN' THE GREEN!

No need to nurse your "quarantini" all on your own-some today. Not when Seanchai Library is shining up the Craic with three hours of fun and fellowship, in anticipation of St Patrick's Day.

We confess, it's an old tradition that goes back to our West of Ireland days: when The Festival of St Patrick would begin somewhere about now and run through the Library's Anniversary on the 20th-ish.  Then there was the year we celebrated our 10th Anniversary for 10 days that conveniently spanned St. Pat's AND our Anniversary.  

Oh heck!  Who are we kidding?  We just like celebrating. How could we NOT throw a party?

It all begins . . .
@ 1pm slt with Stories & Poetry of Ireland, featuring Dubhna Rhiadra, Aoife Lorefield, Corwyn Allen, and Kayden Oconnell, live.

Followed by . . . 
@2pm slt - Celtic Music and Dancing with DJ Aoife Lorefield 
@3pm slt - Rockin' Celtic & Bagpipe Tunes with DJ Caledonia Skytower

Both events take place at Murphy's on Chiaroscuro Isle (courtesy of Gloriana Maertens). Come for some or all - Bring a friend and be ready to have fun!  ~ Slainte'
