kevin_standlee: (Cheryl 2)
Last weekend, I was emergency holographic back-up sound tech for the Small Blue Planet podcast hosted by Cheryl Morgan. Cheryl's guests were Mélanie Fazi and Lionel Davoust discussing French science fiction and fantasy and many other interesting related topics. Cheryl has her description of the show on her site as well.

I didn't actually participate, as my job was to record the Skype conference call by which the four of us were able to "meet" for the interview. I did chat a little bit with them after the show, including telling them the story that [livejournal.com profile] debgeisler told me about a Boston Worldcon flyer translated into French by one of her Parisian colleagues and the reaction from Canada's Boréal Francophone SF convention, which amused them. (I'll leave to Deb to decide if she wants to retell it in public.)

It's an interesting hour-plus interview, and I hope folks will head over to the Locus Roundtable site and download and listen to the show.

The bronchitis is not completely gone (and there are still three doses of antibiotics to go), but I was feeling well enough today to drive up to Oakland and brave the twisty hill roads that eventually lead to the headquarters of Locus, where I'd been invited for their annual holiday party. I'm flattered that they invite me, and try to go when I can. As usual, it was a very convivial gathering including some leading luminaries in the field of SF/F/Fandom. I even got a bit of WSFS business done about which I will not speak more, but which I've been asked to deal with for several years by the Mark Protection Committee and about which I've kept forgetting until I was finally in the same room with the person with whom I needed to discuss. Some things are better done in person rather than e-mail.
