SB: Significant Dates in the History of SB ?

[Rob Tom <ArchiLogic@yahoo.ca>]

Apparently, in the moments of breathing space between teaching & 
hosting workshops/writing/and beating plaster samples with a sledge 
etc., Beel has been scratching his noggin and the following idea WRT 
this year's Casas que Cantan fundraising initiative popped out of his 
head.  (Or it may have been a flea jumping out and uttering something 
which sounded like a good idea to Beel ? )

In addition to the music CD, instead of a story booklet as in years 
past, this year, a CALENDAR to accompany the musical portion.

I'm told that Athena is hot to trot with this idea which of course, 
means that  (in Beel's own words) "she'll work on that with 
enthusiasm and be [hard ?] pressed to do anything else."

As some of you may recall, I think that  it was Marcus who called 
Beel "the Hugh Heffner of SB" so we can pretty much be assured that 
the photography for the calendar will be done in Beel's typically sexy 
photographic style.

Incidental to the sexy SB images, it being a calendar, the thing should 
have something which records the passage of time, both in the past 
and in the future, and as such, it has been suggested that it should 
probably show things like phases of the moon, solstices and other 
significant celestial events.

It should probably also show Earthly/mortally-significant dates in the 
history of and/or for the world of SB.  This is where we could use 
your help. Please let us know what events/dates you'd like to see 
noted on the calendar . We've got 365 of them to fill up with notes.
(When I say "we", I of course mean Athena & Beel & probably 
Satomi. I don't *actually* do anything.)

I should also probably mention that Jodi Lopez from Mexico has 
already kindly sent two CDs, (a compilation of her husband's 
compostions over the past ten years) to Saintly Suzanne (who did 
*all* of the work for the first years' project double-handedly) as 
sources from which to make a selection(s) to put onto this year's 
Casas que Cantan Music CD, so if you've been contemplating 
sending in a tune or three, I would urge you to do it soon, as there 
aren't that many working days left between now and Christmas 
mailing time. 

For those who are new to the List, you might want to go to the 
Steens' Canelo Project website http://www.caneloproject.com , 
click on "Mexico Work" and "Casas que Cantan"  
... or go to the SB list archives 
http://www.crest.org/discussion/strawbale/200205/ 
and look in the previous three years' archives, for anything with 
"Casas que Cantan" in the subject,  around the months of November-
February,  for the full story as it was developing/happening back then 
...or if you just want to look at some pikchurs (pirated from the 
Steens' collection)

So, significant DATES and kewl, original MUSIC. 
That's what we need. Soon, if not sooner.
Hokay ? Hokay.
Thengya. Thengyallverramuch.
