The Guisers
[info]nineweaving
You can see them in the Cloudish heavens, hunting the Wren (who's flying upside down).  The Fool has tumbled down old Lightfast in a single combat.  Just above them is the Knot of Swords the dancers weave; before them trips the Hobby Horse; the Fiddler lags.  Old Mally's Thorn is now a broom, to sweep them room to rhyme.  They have a Lantern, but they've lost their way.

The Witches have strayed in from another mythstream; they appear, not in country guising, but in courtly masque.






You must let them in.  They bring the Sun.

Three more SiDiC Music Videos uploaded to YouTube

I'm still in the process of slowly turning all the videos SiDiC Music Videos has made from 1994 to 2009 into QuickTime files. I managed to convert the three "year 2000" SiDiC vids from the MediaWest*Con 20 vid competition and get them uploaded to YouTube this evening. This was the first year I used a computer for editing -- in other words, the first year the visual quality was finally pretty good, though I was still getting a handle on the whole editing thing.
