[ba-filk-announce] Considering January 27 for house filk

[Bob Kanefsky <Kanef@xxxxxxxxx>]

Despite the short notice, many of the people who have replied have  
said that January 27 works for them (correctly guessing that I meant  
the 27th and not the 24th), so I'm seriously considering the 27th.   
Come to think of it, it even suggests a theme.  It's the 40th  
anniversary of the Apollo 1 fire.  Yes, it's Space Disaster Weekend  
again:  the next day is the 21st anniversary of the Challenger  
accident, the first U.S. in-flight fatalities.  (The first human in- 
flight fatality was 40 years ago this April, according to http:// 
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_disaster.)  It's not such a downbeat  
theme either; there are plenty of non-depressing space disaster songs  
that range from uplifting to morbidly humorous -- and I'm not even  
thinking so much of my own work when I say that.

I'll check on clubhouse availability and also give people another day  
or two for feedback.
