AUGH! The Pantheacon schedule is huge to print out! AUGH! It looks like various things I want to go to are overlapping! (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
devafall and/or tiggrrl, didn't you say something about a performance of some kind? is that not on, or am I not recognizing the name, or was that never a formal thing in the first place?)
Edit: Yeah. I have one case where there are two things I would like to attend, and two major trainwrecks where there are three. Fortunately,tyrsalvia's Erisian ritual (I had no idea there was going to be one every day, put on by different people) doesn't conflict with anything else I want to do, so I should be there.
Saturday at 11:00 am (I may not even be able to get up for that, but I get up at 10:30 for work, so what the hey):
I'd like to get a glimpse of Mara Freeman and hear her speak, but I also want to do the same with Thorn Coyle. Just to make it harder, the subjects are about equally interesting to me.
Saturday at 1:30 pm:
The middle one is leading there, since the more I read the description of the first one, the more I think that what is actually going to be talked about is not what I thought it was, and I'm not sure how much I would get out of the latter since I'm leaning away from the standard tools (as tools, anyway, as opposed to symbols) and definitely from the usual elemental correspondences, so... but the use of the phrase "awakening the memory" intrigues me and I wonder just what he means to talk about there.
And Sunday at 9 (as if I were really going to be getting up at that time):
Last one is leading but first one is something I'm really interested in getting perspective on; the fact that it's Amber K presenting the last one makes me a bit suspicious as to its content, but other than that, the examples given point to something I'd be very interested in.

| Urban Pagan Coffee Klatch: "Does the city speak to you? Do you find beauty in urban ruins? Do you use the web as a ritual tool?
