@ 7PM - KLAWDE: Evil Alien Warlord Cat

Klawde, the High Commander of the planet Lyttyrboks (think about it if you need to!), is sentenced to the worst possible punishment: exile to a small green-blue planet that is, as they say, “far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the galaxy”, known to its dominant bipedal race as “Earth”.

On that planet, Raj is a young man who had everything he could want in his NYC life, finds himself exiled to the community of Elba, Oregon.

These two lost souls, one seeking friendship, the other a cunning, brilliant feline emperor, both exiled and seemingly lost, are destined to meet. And when they do – whether Klawde likes it or not – the emperor cat will find his plans for revenge on those who would oust him from his empire running somewhat secondary to becoming Raj’s new Best Friend as the two of them become bound by a series of new and hilarious adventures.

Caledonia Skytower continues Emily Chenoweth and Johnny Marciano's  wild adventure, live on Stream.

Willow takes us aback to Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea canon for a selected tale. 

"The fashion of the time among the nobility was to have a wizard in their service, a genuine wizard with a staff and a grey cloak, trained on the Isle of the Wise; and so the Master of Iria of Westpool got himself a wizard from Roke. He was surprised how easy it was to get one, if you paid the price."

@ 7pm: Odd & The Frost Giants

Willow Moonfire reads Neil Gaiman’s story, originally written for World Book Day.

Winter isn’t coming – it’s refusing to go away, but no-one understands why.

Not only that, but Odd has run away from home, despite the fact he can barely walk and has to use a crutch. Nevertheless, he finds his way to the forest, where he encounters three animals: a bear, a fox, and an eagle, and they have a strange story to tell. Listening to them, Odd realises he must now embark on a strange journey, one he can barely imagine.

For he must now set out and save nothing less that Asgard, City of the Norse Gods. For it has been invaded by the Frost Giants, and while they hold it, winter will not pass away. 

It’s going to take a very special kind of boy to defeat the most dangerous of all the Frost Giants and free the mighty Gods. A boy who is resolute, cheerful and infuriating and clever…

…A boy just like Odd, in fact.

Both events today are in The Glen:

THURSDAY, June 13th at 7pm: HOWLING AT THE MOON - Stories & Poems of a Lunar Nature


“O, swear not by the moon, th' inconstant moon, That monthly changes in her circle orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.” 

― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

Okay, wrong Shakespeare play!

But why is the moon "inconstant", and what makes everyone from lovers to lunatics go a bit "loony" under it's cool lunar rays? Caledonia shares selected poem and stories to explore different views of the moon at Aoife Lorefield's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" Project at Linden Endowment for the Arts Region 2, tonight.


TUESDAY, May 8th at 7PM: "I WENT TO THE FAIRE..."

Seanchai Library went to Fantasy Faire for ten days, and many stories were told.  Our Caledonia was there for over two weeks, preparing and then overseeing operations for the LitFest.

Remarkably, she wields a pen almost as handily as she wields a sword, or changes out chair set-ups; and actually she wrote some things - quite a few things.  Tonight she shares selections from the stories and poems she write at this year's Fantasy Faire.

TUESDAY, March 7th at 7pm: More from SAVE ROOM FOR PIE

Roy Blount Jr. is one of America’s most cherished comic writers. He’s been compared to Mark Twain and James Thurber, and his books have been called everything from “a work of art” (Robert W. Creamer, The New York Times Book Review) to “a book to read till it falls apart” (Newsweek). Now, in Save Room for Pie, he applies his much-praised wit and charm to a rich and fundamental topic: food.

In poems and songs, limericks and fake (or sometimes true) news stories, Blount talks about food in surprising and innovative ways, with wit and verve.

Kayden Oconnell with Caledonia Skytower (and guest) present selections, live in voice.

TUESDAY, February 17th at 7PM: TWO NIGHTS WITH NEIL ~ Night #2

Caedmon is back with more to share form the amazing imagination of Neil Gaiman . . .

Barbecue sunbirds and aliens in saucers
Stars at wild parties and a diaries in boxes
Stories and poems and songs that we sing,
These are a few of Neil's Fragile Things

Don't know how to talk to girls at parties? Neil knows!
Always wanted to know what a sunbird is and what it tastes like? Neil knows!
What happened on the day the saucers came? Neil knows!
Just what was in the diary in that shoebox? Neil knows!

Just four of the things Neil Gaiman will tell us when we join in listening to Cædmon read from Neil Gaiman's Fragile Things. These poems and stories are all about things that can be broken and lost, things that should be treasured, even if we do not know it at the time or recognize what that thing is. From the absurd to the macabre, we'll have a ball exploring these things.

Live in voice.

TUESDAY, October 28th at 7PM: SPOOKY SEANCHAI FAVORITES!

"The darkness comes from deep inside. 
It creeps up from out of your dark side. 
Gnawing at your flesh by your graveside. 
Of a life that you feel lives you mortified. 
Creeping death shivers down your spine. 
You feel it wrap around, you feel it reassign. 
Your screams and visions will all align.
Under the moon they will combine. . . "


Tonight Aoife, Corwyn and Cale Gather round the All Hallow's Cauldron to to stir up a tasty buffet of their favorite spooky shorts stories and poems as the BIG DAY edges ever closer: everything from Shakespeare to Stoker, and more!   

Presented live in voice.

THURSDAY July 31st at 7pm: SMOKE & MIRRORS with Shandon Loring


Fictions, illusions, and imaginative twists on old legends and frightening glimpses into the impossible combine to form tonight's stories and poems from Neil Gaiman. Each skirts the edges of a puncture in reality through which something dark and mysterious peeks. Then it moves on and the apparition is hidden away again, but not forgotten.

DON'T FORGET!  This week at 9:00pm SLT: SEANCHAI LATE NIGHT - more great Sci-Fi with FinnyZ!
