tamaranthInteraction write-up complete! (7.5K. Should not have gone to this many programme items, clearly. No wonder brane has indigestion.)
These are notes, not neatly-summarised snapshots. Read at your peril. All omissions my own. Marginalia (primarily stylised lizards) mostly excluded. Programme descriptions pasted from the pre-con programme spreadsheet; I've tried to indicate changes.
I have omitted fascinating conversations in the bar / over dinner / on the banks of the Clyde; faithful descriptions of the pool in the Quality, nee Central (empty both times we went, much-valued peace); a lengthy diatribe on the difficulty of buying blank cassette tapes; apologies to anyone I offended, inadvertently or otherwise. Please take as read.
In general, verbatim comments are enclosed in double quotation marks, my own additions in italics. Apologies for any errors in transcription: all notes scribbled by hand, often rather hurriedly, often rather early ...
Photographic evidence may be found here.
Thursday 4th August: The Matter of Britain in British Music / Hans Christian Andersen & the Dark Side of Fairy Tale / I'm Sorry I Haven't an SFing Clue
Friday 5th August: Moving in Time as Well as in Space / Greer Gilman: Reading / Book Group Discussion: Not Before Sundown, by Johanna Sinisalo / Can fan fiction writers go on to write real books?
Saturday 6th August: British Landscape and the Fantastic / Complex Families, Queer Neighbours / How do we reinvent Time Travel? / Geek Eye for the Technophobe Guy / Not really a programme item: Voyager Party on the Tall Ship
Sunday 7th August: The Aesthetics of Fantasy / Lost and Found: Children's Books We Miss / Waiting for the Fantastic / Great Europeans as Fictional Characters
Monday 8th August: Finding the Fantastic in Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle
