Spooks and Sparks, Story Session at the Falling Anvil Public House
Monday, October 27th, 5-8 p.m. SLT
The Falling Anvil, Caledon Tamrannoch

It's the haunting time of year, and we invite you the Falling Anvil's Third Annual Ghost Tales Session. This month's theme is, as always, ghosties and ghoulies and Things that go Bump in the Night. Come and tell your most terrifying tales; send chills through your listeners with stories of bloody revenge from beyond the grave, uncanny apparitions, inexplicable rattling and howling from beneath the celler stairs, and miscellaneous kinds of unspeakable crawling chaos.
But we also invite stories of another kind of uncanny being.....Sparks! Madboys. Madgirls. Makers of Monsters, contrivers of ingenious mayhem, and general technofantastiological troublemakers and their strange and terrifying creatures, Jagermonsters not least among them....as so ably related by the Professors Foglio in Girl Genius Comics
No tales to tell? Come give ear to these tantalizing tales of terror, sharing in the shivers and shrieks, delighting in despicable devilry! But beware: Is the storyteller merely recounting a legend, or is that a "spark" in his eye? And that faint buzzing you hear; could it be, perhaps … a wasp????
This story session is sponsored by the Caledon Library & the Clan of Seafarers and Storytellers, and hosted by Mr. Aldo Stern.

Spring Poetry Discussion
Thursday, April 10, 6:00 - 7:30pm
Vannevar Bush Memorial Reading Garden, Caledon
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Caledon/85/85/23
The snows may not have faded just yet -- help convince Lady Spring to start in full with a reading at the Whitehorn. Victorian poesy and snips of prose meant to warm the soul and the climate. Anything written during the glorious reign of Victoria Regina will suit -- Ode to a Skylark and The Progress of Spring are sure to make an appearance.
Interested readers can contact Skein Larkham prior to the event. Surely you can find an appropriate garden scene or ode to a shy flower; come and put that obsession of yours to good use. Light-hearted reading to be followed by erudition and punnery.
NOTE: The teleport takes you to a telehub in Caledon... Just follow the red arrow/beacon southwest to the garden, or use the red and gold Library Transport Book located at the telehub, on top of the Library Events sign
