THURSDAY, September 23rd: WYRD SISTERS & Seanchai Late Night

@ 7pm -  Selections from WYRD SISTERS

Caledonia takes us on another adventure into the Discworld of the late Terry Pratchett, live on Stream.

King Verence I of Lancre is murdered by his cousin, Duke Felmet, after his ambitious wife persuades him to do so. The King's crown and child are given by an escaping servant to the three witches. The witches hand the child to a troupe of travelling actors, and hide the crown in the props-box. They acknowledge that destiny will eventually take its course and that the child, Tomjon, will grow up to defeat Duke Felmet and take his rightful place as king.  What could possibly go wrong?

@9pm - SEANCHAI LATE NIGHT

Finn  Zeddmore presents contemporary Sci-Fi-Fantasy from online sources such as Light Speed, Escape Pod, and Clarkesworld, live in Voice.

WEDNESDAY, September 22nd at 7pm: AUTUMN in Music & Poetry

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,

   Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;

Conspiring with him how to load and bless

   With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;

To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,

   And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;

      To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells

   With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,

And still more, later flowers for the bees,

Until they think warm days will never cease,

      For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells . . .

            ~ from "To Autumn" by John Keats

Join Caledonia Skytower and Ktadhn Vesuvino in The Glen for an hour of Autumn Music & Poetry (you can even dance too!)

THURSDAY, September 16th at 7pm: THE SEA & LITTLE FISHES - A Discworld Story

Caledonia shares another story from the plentiful canon of Terry Pratchett. Granny Weatherwax is NOT happy. And when Granny is not happy . . . but what if she were happy, contented, and free of sharp edges? Now THAT would be deeply frightening!

A coalition of witches, led by self-appointed organizer Lettice Earwig, asks Granny Weatherwax not to participate in the annual Lancre Witch Trials, on account of her always winning. She agrees, becoming disconcertingly nice.

Presented Live on Stream in The Glen.
