Archetype Cafe hears the news...
"Helen, Red Riding, and Lady Macbeth
Were discussing Cassandra's last sonnet
When Circe said 'Hey, girls! We're up for a Peggie!
The ballot's announced, and we're on it!
It's something to do with that songwriter woman
Who sits in the corner and scribbles -
So we're meeting tonight, to say 'Thank you!' and 'Wow!'
There'sll be rum punch, live music, and nibbles."
* * *
The members of the Ladies' Historic Society have asked me to pass on their deepest thanks for the honour of the nomination in the 'Classic Filk Song' category. There was some lively debate, apparently, about the term 'Classic', since it's used as a description of many of the works in which the ladies first appear. Time clearly runs differently there in Zed Alley (where Archetype Cafe is sited) because although they've been meeting since February 1997 (our time) it's not clear whether their Tenth Anniversary Party has happened, is going to happen, or indeed is actually happening if you only go through the proper door - which, confusingly, carries a poster for the Archetype Cafe Millenium Ball. That event may still be happening under the stairs, for all I know - it was quite a night.
But I digress. The ladies, and I, are very honoured and proud to be on the ballot, and Sarasvati's baking up a whole lot of flapjacks for anyone who turns up tonight - and they've said to tell you, mention 'Pegasus' on the door and you'll get in for free.
Thank you all very much; and warmest wishes to all the other fine writers and performers on the list. We're in some fine company.
