Dad Is Back Home
Personal Update
My dad went home yesterday after 32 days in the hospital and the rehab center. He is now on oxygen and has to have all of his food pureed. He also has to have all of his drinks thickened--including water!

My Dad and World Fantasy Con
Personal Update
As some of you know, my dad went into the hospital about three weeks ago and has spent the last two weeks in a rehabilitation center. He is doing fine, although they told me today that he will now be on oxygen for the rest of his life.
About every other day I take my mom to see him and we spend a couple of hours. We expect that he should be coming home fairly soon, but we don't know exactly when. I am thankful that my schedule has been flexible enough that I have been able to be there for both him and my mom during this time.
World Fantasy Con is in San Jose this weekend. At this point it looks like my time there will be limited. I was hoping to see many of you, but I might not see as much of you as I would have wished. My only responsibility is a panel on Saturday morning, and I plan to be there for it, but everything else is up in the air.

Feeling Very Lucky
Personal Update
The Bay Bridge is closed and I had a meeting on the other side (San Francisco) this morning. Since more people were taking public transportation, the Del Norte BART station ran out of parking spaces even earlier than usual for a weekday morning. I parked in my "usual" place on the street in the 4-hour zone. As I parked, I saw the El Cerrito parking enforcement vehicle coming down the street the opposite way chalking tires. It occurred to me that the City of El Cerrito was probably going to make a lot of money today. Checking the cars near mine, I noted with some satisfaction that they had already been chalked.
When I returned some 5 1/2 hours later I noted the parking tickets slipped under the windshield wipers of car after car parked on the street. With some trepidation, I arrived at my vehicle. No ticket!! Yes!
Sometimes, timing is everything.

Tupou Gets A Byline
Commentary
The 2008, issue 2 edition of Hospital Build Magazine has an article entitled "Sustainable Design for Healthcare Facilities" which begins on page 33. The author is listed as my wife, Tupou. The catch is that she didn't actually write the article, only coordinated it through her office. It should have listed her boss as the author, or possibly as several authors collaborating.
Hospital Build Magazine is published in the United Arab Emirates and copies are not available in the United States. Their website is here.

Azcatraz, Part 3
I attended three back-to-back program items, all in the same room. The first was a slide-show of Potter-related sites in Britain. The author, using textual evidence from the books, had travelled throughout Britain trying to find places that matched J. K. Rowling's descriptions, both in terms of location, and in terms of architecture. One the one hand, I thought that he was remarkably successful at finding places that matched the physical descriptions of buildings with approximate locations. On the other hand, I thought, "He actually spent time doing this???!!!" On the third hand, he got a book out of it that he kept encouraging us to buy. He had some great pictures to show and great stories to tell of his adventures. He also managed to find some Potter-like places that probably would not be on the regular Potter tours.
The second program item was "The Harry Potter Bookshelf." It was essentially a lecture by a professor about literary criticism and reading the Potter books on multiple levels. I found the first part of the lecture to be pretty standard undergraduate lit-crit stuff, but I really enjoyed his analysis in the last part of the lecture about the literary antecedants of Harry Potter. I was really hoping for more of this as I think that the connections between the Potter books and other works of world literature are often underestimated. The presentation took about an hour and then there was another half hour in which he sold and signed his books from the front table. When I asked amydmartin about this, she told me that he was the only person she had ever seen Potter con organizers allow to do it. I found that I didn't mind it so much because while the book-signing was going on I had a very intellectually stimulating conversation with a woman named Lisa, to whom amydmartin had introduced me. As far as I was concerned, that one conversation made the entire convention worth attending. We talked about literary criticism, the nature of God, how choices are determined by what information one has even if that information may be suspect, and other heavy-duty topics. It was fun.
The third and final program item I attended was a panel with two feminist scholars talking about the portrayal of Hermione in the books and in the movies. The first woman to speak talked about Hermione's hair, especially as it was used to emphasize her sexuality in the movies. The second woman focused more generally on the way in which Hermione's strength as a female character was undercut in the movies; she sited the differences in several specific scenes to support her argument. Most of the rest of the panel consisted of comments from the audience. Most of these comments were not in the form of questions. It wasn't so much a conversation between the panelists and the audience as it was a bunch of people stating their opinions.
Following the program items a bunch of us went out to dinner at the local mall food court. Then I headed home. It will be an early day tomorrow.
This con also gave me some additional insights into how Fandom has given birth to fandoms and the cultural differences and similarities between various kinds of fan-like activities. At some point, all of these observations along with some analysis will probably become a fanzine article. Not now, though. It's time for bed.

Azcatraz, Part 2
Report
A few minutes later, ladykatcie came by where I was sitting and told me that she would let amydmartin know I was there. I gave her a cloak that I had brought for her so that she could wear it at the con, but she already had a cloak that she and her mother had made. She now had two cloaks for the con. She soon returned with amydmartin and we made some preliminary plans for the rest of the day which included meeting the in Vender's Room after I had gotten my badge and they had been to their room. When I referred to the "Dealer's Room," they told me that the term at this convention was "Vender's Room." I could tell that there were some important cultural differences between this and the conventions I usually attend that I would have to get used to.
After I registered I made my way to the Vender's Room. It was much smaller than I was expecting, especially given the number of people at the convention. The dealer's tables themselves were limited almost exclusively to Potter-related items, including books, costuming supplies, jewelry, and other paraphenalia. This surprised me as I thought that the dealers would recognize that Potter fans would have other related interests and have more merchandise that wasn't Potter-specific. About the closest I came was a flyer for Jane Austen Fan Tours at the table that was promoting Harry Potter Fan Tours to Britain.
At one point in my tour of the Vender's Room I found that I had wandered into the Art Show. They were in the same room and the division between them was nearly nonexistent. Every piece of artwork in the Art Show was Potter-related. Again, this surprised me. Yes, I know that it is a Potter convention, but I would still expect to see at least a few items that were more generally fantasy-related.
amydmartin told me about some program items that she thought I might be interested in. None of the programming started until 2:00, so at that point we had about an hour to kill. I had not yet eaten, so I grabbed a quick lunch in the sandwich shop in the corner of the hotel. We met back at one of the main program rooms and I spent the rest of the afternoon attending program items with amydmartin and some of her other friends.

Azcatraz, Part 1
Report
Today I attended Azcatraz, the Harry Potter convention being held in San Francisco. I went at the invitation of amydmartin who has been heavily involved in Potter fandom for quite a few years. I had only bought a one-day membership because in looking at my schedule I knew that Saturday would be my best day to attend and with just having moved and the worldcon coming up soon I didn't want to spend any more money than absolutely necessary.
I took BART into San Francisco, arriving at the Parc 55 just before noon. It was later than I had intended, but things had come up both at home and at church that needed tending. As I walked into the hotel, I could see little sign, at first, that a convention was going on. There were no signs to tell me where to go for registration and only a few con-goers were in evidence on the first two floors.
When I got to the third floor, I found that the luncheon banquet was in full swing. I had not ordered a banquet ticket as they were all sold out by the time I had bought my membership. Nevertheless, a helpful Azcatraz staffer directed me to at-con reg which was located in a corner of the banquet room itself. This struck me as an odd place to put registration, especially as the reg line and the food line would have to cross each other if both of them got too long. At this point I called amydmartin and left her a voicemail message saying that I was at reg and would be waiting for her there.
I arrived at the reg table just in time to see them closing up and posting a sign that they would be reopening at 1:30. As it wasn't quite noon, yet, I had hopes that I could get my badge and goodie bag before they closed completely; I even showed them my receipt, printed out from my e-mail. I was still told that I would have to wait as the staff needed to eat lunch. One of the reg staff told me that there were comfy chairs down in the hotel lobby if I wanted a place to sit. I chose, instead, to sit on the floor in front of the reg table. I took a book from my bag and began to read, fully expecting to have an hour-and-a-half wait.
Around 12:25, the person who was apparently in charge of at-con reg came by, saw me sitting there, and said that she would be back in about five minutes to help me out. I noted that the sign said that they weren't reopening until 1:30. She said that was a mistake as she had thought that the luncheon wasn't scheduled to start until 12:30 when she had made the sign. I resumed my reading, now in a slightly happier mood.

Anticipation Panels
Commentary
I received my panel list for Anticipation yesterday. This strikes me as an odd collection of panels.
Just How Does Creationist Science Work?
--Short answer: it doesn't, not as science or as theology. I'm really glad that TNH is on this one with me.
Tell A Story
--I've been complaining for years that the oral storytelling panels should not all be shoved off into Children's Programming. Denvention 3 got this right and we had a good panel on storytelling for adults. This one _is_ shuffled off into Children's Programming, but should be a lot of fun as we will be telling stories and helping the kids to tell theirs.
Ye Gods: Deities of SF TV
--I almost declined this one as I am not a regular watcher of some of the TV shows listed in the panel description. Nevertheless, I hope that we can talk about some of the ways in which religion has been misused in much TV SF, Babylon 5, being one of the few shows to get it mostly right.
Wonder Woman: Feminism in Comics
--My only comics panel at this convention. When I first saw the title I thought, "Uh, oh, somebody must have read that APAzine article I wrote years ago." I like the topic a lot and will probably spend a fair amount of time doing research on it between now and the convention.
Greatest Fanzine
--I'm moderating a discussion between long-time fanzine fans about what was the greatest fanzine of all time and why. I expect this to be a lot of fun.
I also reminded the programming folks that I had asked to conduct an ecumenical Christian worship service on Sunday morning. This was not on my program schedule, so I'm wondering if it might be somewhere on a separate schedule for SIGs/BOFs. I've always felt that having the Special Interest Groups listed separately from the main programming schedule is a mistake. People can find them a little more readily if they are listed with everything else. We'll see what happens.

Thor No. 600
Fanboyish Gushing with a Little Bragging Thrown In
I just read Thor #600. Thor is still totally cool.
I first discovered Thor when I was six years old or so and the Lee/Kirby issues were selling for 12 cents at the magazine rack at Bethscheider's Market. I've been hooked on the character ever since and I've collected the title for most of the years between that time and this. Thor is my favorite superhero for no real discernable reason except nostalgia and long familiarity.
Thor #600 represents a return to the "original" numbering and features a fine lead story by Joe Straczynski and a couple of back-ups, one of which is a new story written by Stan Lee and the other is a reasonably funny "mini marvels" story by Chris Giarrusso. In the lead story, Loki restores Bor to life and Bor and Thor fight for a few pages longer than is really necessary. The ending, however, is gut-wrenching and will set up future storylines very nicely. My only complaint about the "mini marvels" story is that it has a running gag that gets really old really fast.
For me, the highlights of the issue were several "Tales of Asgard" reprints from the '60s and a "cover gallery" of all 600 covers, displayed 100 per page on each of six pages. Yeah, the reproductions are really small, but looking at all of those cover brought back some fond memories of years gone by. As I scanned the pages, I looked particularly for the issues published during my teen years that I read repeatedly at the time.
It also occurred to me that except for some of the later issues of the second series (c. 2002-2005), I actually own at least one copy of every one of the comics pictured. Yes, this includes all of the pre-hero issues of Journey Into Mystery which I assembled one-at-a-time during the '80s and '90s when they were still cheap. It also includes issue no. 83, Thor's first appearance, for which I paid $175 for a copy in Fine condition in 1982. That's still the most I have ever paid for a single comic.
Thor has given me much pleasure over the years, both in terms of reading and collecting. Congratulations on 600 issues!

DemiCon XX
Pondering
The flyer for this year's DemiCon arrived yesterday. I'm really glad that the folks in Des Moines keep me on the mailing list, despite my having been living in the Bay Area for the past ten years. I would really like to attend the con, again, but the first weekend of May is pretty impossible in my current appointment.
It also occurred to me as I looked over the flyer that this year marks the 35th anniversary of the opening of Ivor Rogers' Time Machine Bookstore in West Des Moines. My teenaged self wandered into the store at some point not too long after it opened. We were in Des Moines to visit my grandparents and I was looking for something to do besides hang around with older relatives. The event became one of the origins of my personal fannishness, and I will always be grateful for it.
So, I will think longingly of the folks in Des Moines and wish that I could be at the con in the City Where It All Began for me.

January Religion and SF Discussion
We had our first Religion and SF Book discussion on Sunday, January 25. Twelve persons were present for the discussion of "A Canticle for Leibowitz. It was quite rollicking and the book was discussed in some depth. I was extremely pleased with how everything went.
We will be discussing "A Case of Conscience" by James Blish this Sunday at 7:00p.m.
Below are some notes that Gregg Schluntz took during our discussion. I have not edited them:
Sunday eve 1/25/2009 discussion of “A Canticle for Leibowitz “ by Walter M. Miller, Jr [From study guide Notes by Paul Brians, Department of English, Washington State University, Pullman 99164-5020. Although A Canticle for Leibowitz was published as a book in 1959, one version of it was written earlier. The first section, also entitled "A Canticle for Leibowitz" (now "Fiat Homo" ["Let There Be Man"]) appeared in 1955, the second section appeared as "And the Light Is Risen" ("Fiat Lux" ["Let There be Light"]) the next year, and the conclusion appeared in 1957 as "The Last Canticle" ("Fiat Voluntas Tua" ["Thy Will Be Done"]), all in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. When he reworked the material for the novel, Miller made substantial changes and additions. These notes are very good for focusing your review….] We started with a review of likes and dislikes…the amount of Latin/biblical or “Catholic” phrases not all translated was off putting for some folks but in general it was, based on the period written (read wikipedia for info on Miller and his subsequent suicide) quite engaging for most reads. It is problematic due to the “dark” and at times inevitable outcome but at the end of our discussion it was found there may be some concepts of hope in the story…at least the leaving for another place. We probably left with some hoper for humanity but not a lot? Many remembered the period of time with bomb threats and here is a theme that is still current. Recurrent themes, Lazarus, buzzards (i.e. heavenly hosts in Fiat Homo) and different plays on Satan were summarized after considerable discussion on their places in the story. Another discussion was around the repository of knowledge/scraps of Leibowitz leftovers and the whole mythology around Leibowitz and the attempted Canonization. The struggle of key characters (i.e. “Noviate” Brother Francis ) symbolizing simple faith and or blind struggle for the truth appeared and was discussed by most present. Mutants…not real based on current knowledge Cherie…two characters…and Al’s comments Alia’s …cogent responses and views Cat resurrected? Husband and wife…Catholicism more free than expected. Abbot Able to Abbot Zeke Other topics discussed?

Crisis at The Other Change of Hobbit
The Other Change of Hobbit in Berkeley has been closed down by the California State Board of Equalization for nonpayment of sales taxes. They need to raise $9000 by tomorrow or the amount the government wants from them will go up significantly.
While they are technically closed and the lights are dark, the door is open. Dave and Jan were there when I stopped by this afternoon. They can give you more details.
What you can do: Even though they cannot sell you books, you can open one of their "Special Accounts" for $500. They are also letting people open small Special Accounts for $100. If, like me, you thought this might be something you would like to do, but kept putting it off, now would be the time to do it. Every little bit helps. The current need is urgent.
If you can afford to help and if you want to see a small, locally-owned, independent bookstore continue in business, then go. Now.

So, randy_smith2, your LiveJournal reveals...
You are... 20% unique (blame, for example, your interest in tongan culture) and 27% herdlike (partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy science fiction). When it comes to friends you are normal. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are keen to please. Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is conventional.
Your overall weirdness is: 33(The average level of weirdness is: 27.

Australia Trip - Day 9
Report
It occurs to me that I need to finish this trip report before it completely recedes into the back of my memory. I am staying home with a cold today, so I'll take a little time to write and post.
After our rest, Tupou and I changed into our "going out" clothes. Before we had left California, we had decided that it would be more fun to attend a concert at the Sydney Opera House than it would be to just say that we had seen it. This was also to be our night out away from family, away from wedding preparations, and on a date with just the two of us. By having tickets already in hand, we were able to tell anyone who wanted to make plans for us that evening that "we already had somthing to do."
By a lucky chance, our tickets were for the world premiere performance of a work called Symphony of Australia, by a young Australian composer named Gavin Lockley. The work was commissioned specifically for this concert, which was to be a celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
While on the train into downtown Sydney, we noticed that a man sitting near us was wearing a white polo shirt with the words "Symphony of Australia" stitched onto it. We spoke to him, indicating that we would be attending the concert that evening. As it turned out, he was a member of the choir that would be taking part in the performance. He got into it through being a member of the Sydney Welsh Choir, which made up part of the larger chorus. He showed us the music, and we chatted amiably about how exciting it was to be involved in a world premiere performance. He was surprised that we had heard of it while in California, but for our part, that was solely due to the presence of the internet. We were looking for something to do, that his concert was one of the options.
When we arrived downtown, we set about looking for a place to eat dinner. There were lots of choices as the walkway from the Circular Quay train station and the Opera House was lined with restaurants. We walked back and forth a bit, checking out the menus as several places, finally settling upon one on which we could both agree. The food was quite good, and we enjoyed sitting outside and looking out over Sydney Harbor. It was by far the most romantic meal we had while in Australia.
The first half of the concert opened with a greeting from the Chair of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and a speech by the Governor-General. The musical portion of the first half consisted primarily in arias and duets from various operas and concluding with "Waltzing Matilda." Most of the soloists would return for solo parts in the symphony itself.
After an address by the Governor of New South Wales, the second half of the concert consisted entirely of the Symphony of Australia. The Symphony, in six movements, told the history of Australia from before the time when the first Europeans arrived, through Captain Cook's landing, to the present day when immigrants from all over the world are coming to the continent. It made use of aboriginal instruments and musical styles from different periods and different places in the world. It closed with all of the participants on stage singing, "Australia, Australia."
Before we left the Opera House, we both made stops at the restrooms. When Tupou came out, she realized that she did not have the umbrella. We had borrowed the umbrella from Pua before we had left that afternoon, on the theory that we needed to be prepared in case the weather turned to rain. She went back to the concert hall to try to find it, but they had already locked the doors. One of the ushers told her that it might have been taken to Lost and Found, so she went to look for it there. As she was headed toward Lost and Found, she came past where I was standing waiting for her only to find that I was holding the umbrella the entire time! In fact, I had had charge of the umbrella the entire evening!
We called Mele to tell her that we were ready to be picked up and walked with quite a few other folks down the hill to a turnaround that seemed to be the usual place for waiting for taxis and rides. We weren't sure how long we would have to wait, but we observed that there seemed to be more people waiting for taxis than there were taxis available.
At one point, Mele called to say that someone was on their way to pick us up, and, having seen me on the phone, a woman standing near us said, "Didn't I just see you calling for a taxi?"
"No," I said, "I was calling for relatives."
With a mischievous grin on her face, she put her arm around Tupou and said, "Didn't you know that she is my dearest Auntie?"
Somehow I can't imagine something like that happening after a concert in San Francisco.
Much to our surprise, when the van arrived to pick us up, one of the persons getting out was Tupou's sister, Sepi, who had arrived from Tonga with some other relatives that evening. We had not known that she was there, and we were very glad to see her.
Wednesday was a relatively quiet day. My primary task was to spend time with Elizabeth going through her homework to make sure that everything was done. Her teacher had provided her with a list of everything that would need to be finished during the time that we were away. The major project was a marketing assignment for Language Arts. The textbook explained a step-by-step process for determining a target market, choosing a strategy, and planning which types of media to use for the advertising. Elizabeth went straight to the end of the process to create a full-page magazine ad for the shoes she was selling. I tried to explain the importance of doing all of the intermediate steps, but since she already had her ad in mind, my explanations seemed unhelpful to her. I finally gave up and we answered all the questions in reverse order. It struck me that she had essentially done all of the intermediate steps, anyway, but had done so more intuitively than logically.
By mid-afternoon the homework seemed to be more-or-less in order and we were prepared to spend the rest of our time in Australia focused on the wedding.
To be continued. . .
