Oh, that sounds cool! I wish I could take the time off and go but it is a little bit far for a short trip.

Oh, I got a couple of the Mystery adaptations of the Tony Hillerman books from the library and watched them. They were quite good and I couldn't help but think that Adam Beach and Wes Studi would make a much better Ged and Ogion than we saw in that stupid mini-series. Anyway, they were excellent in the mysteries.

Thank you so much! I just adore Wes Studi. He grew up not far from where I did, and he's done a great deal to help Cherokee theater. His role as host in this documentary is especially well done; he narrates in Cherokee/Tsalagi (his original language - he didn't learn English until he went to school) with English subtitles.

I love those Hillerman Mystery dramas. I'd never ever thought of Adam Beach and Wes Studi as Ged and Ogion before. That's brilliant!!! Absolutely perfect. I want to go raise money now for that adaptation. :) (We need a new one to help us forget that mini-series, anyway! LOL.) They play father and son in the new Comanche Moon film (the latest incarnation of Lonesome Dove), but I haven't seen it yet. I've heard the writing isn't the best, but hey, I have to see it just for them.

I must try to find that documentary. Sounds interesting. Yes, Studi is brilliant. I didn't know English wasn't his first language! Cool.

Yes, I'll help raise money for a new Earthsea adaptation! One of my favorite mental games is "the casting game," where I think about who I would cast in a film adaptation of a book I like. I'd love to be a casting director.

Movies?! DRUM AND PERFORMERS?! A presentation by Dr. Amy H. Sturgis?! Free?! This sounds so fun!! Too bad I'm not near enough to NC. :(

I hope it goes really well though!

[eldritchhobbit]

Aw, thank you so much! All good vibes and wishes are most appreciated. :) I'm glad it sounds interesting to you. I hope other people feel the same way. *fingers crossed*

Sounds wonderful. But I'm not going to be down that way so I'll have to content myself with echoing the good wishes of all the others who are too far!

[eldritchhobbit]

Thank you so much! :) Good wishes are much appreciated.

Sounds cool! Alas that we are not in NC.

[eldritchhobbit]

Thanks so much! We're planning another one for sometime next school year; maybe it will coincide with a time when you're nearby! *fingers crossed*

I'm very excited about this work, Amy, and wish I could be there.

Last week our friend Dr. Suuqiina spoke at our church (he & his wife Qaumaniq live in Tennessee but are actually members of our little parish); he was out to do some teaching and speaking and wind his way up to Montana the Northern Cheyenne & local government (prudence probably requires me to be oblique here--) sitting down together at table to talk and look at reconciliation... that would be a big deal.

[eldritchhobbit]

Wow, that would be a big deal! I wish them the very best.

Thank you so much for your support and encouragement!
