I have a wonderful new fwend! Amanda, known around these parts as [livejournal.com profile] eibii, got a ride from me to the DASFA Alternate party on Saturday. She seems to like us and she agreed to join the Crew of Grenadine. Random tangent, there needs to be a word for when I like a person but don't know yet if he or she is a friend yet. But whatever stage that is Amanda is past it because we sat around talking for hours after the party about everything from yaoi fiction to fannish experiences. So very cool!

I also misremembered the party location as Huron instead of Grant Street so we were late. But it was all good. The subject of Charles Hansen, a late member of the Colorado Fantasy Society, came up. It seems he had a film of the masquerade at the 3rd Worldcon, Denvention in 1941. No one at the party had any idea of what might have happened to it. That's frustrating. It would be so cool to have something like that and get it transferred to disc so that it could be shown at cons and at fan parties. I mean, what a piece of history!

Speaking of which I'm thinking I'm going to renew my efforts to document DASFA history. Both as it happens and to get down memories of our past. I'll have to get some sort of portable digital recorder for those times at parties when DASFAns start reminiscing. Then I could transcribe what was said later. Must ponder this for a while.

Rhonda and Tay were there, of course, since it is their house. I saw Patrick and Sue Ann. I'm told that John and Bonnie stopped by before heading up to the Mad Scientist's party. Gail and Sourdough completed the circle of Dasfans.

Ken Burns (http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/) is a American film maker who produces really long documentaries about American history. Like his epic 9 part, 11 & ½ hour film The Civil War (http://www.pbs.org/civilwar/) on that American war. If you fear documentaries, especially ones with lots of dramatic pictures and voice-overs, he's the thing hiding in your anxiety closet.

Yeah but that's essentially a really long war movie right? I LIKE WAR MOVIES!

There aren't any war scenes in it. Just photographs from the era and lots and lots of letter being read. With some historians giving their thoughts about thus and such battle. And maps. If that's too much to your liking we could play his history of Baseball. 18 pointless hour long episodes. Bwahahahaha!
