No more pagan music shows for me for a while. It was getting to be a wonderful way of life. if i didn't have SMF to prepare for/go to right away, i'd be sooo sad that the round of Tricky Pixie shows are at an end till Faerieworlds! However, i have FINALLY stumbled across (and have gotten welcomed into, sweet folks) a LOCAL pagan community (after five years)!!! SWEET! iheart Sidhehaven! Thanks guys! (i mean, dood. I got to be there when SOOJ and her man spun fire. !!!! SQUEE!!!) Tags: dorkery, fandom, geekness, life, spirituality, spring mysteries festival

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_laborLOVE it! some samples below. *feels awesome because this is so like something i'd have done as an independent study project or thesis in college* ( Read more... )The organization of a gift economy stands in contrast to a barter economy or a market economy. The gift economy of fandom is seen by many fans as a central tenet of “what makes fandom different.” Relationships between fansInstead of monetary reward, one of the major rewards of fan labor is the formation of relationships between fan creators and other fans. The relationships created through fan exchanges are often as important, if not more so, than the products exchanged. The focus on relationships separates fandom economic practices from the capitalistic practices of everyday life. From an economic anthropology viewpoint, the products of fan labor are a form of cultural wealth, valuable also for their ability to interrelate the fan works, the fan-creators, and the original media property itself through conversation and fan work exchanges. Fans, in other words, are “affines” of media property and of other fans. Deification of media property ownerFrom another economic anthropology perspective, fan creative practices are labor that is done in a relatively routine way and that helps to maintain a connection to the media property itself (the "cultural ancestor" or "deity"). Through their fan labor, fans are able to replicate "the original creative acts of first-principle deities, ancestors or cultural heroes." ( Read more... )The goods that fans produce as a result of these rituals are imbued with social value by other fans. Fan works are valued as fandom products, and they also support the fan creator's desire to be valued by peers. that is sooo sweeet!!! *loves being a fangirl* PS: miss everybody! And Lexi...I'm sending you your thingie...i just have to be not broke. been like cushion-diving for gas money, so i'll send it on the eighth when i get paid. my apologies for the wait, luv! Hope y'all are doing ok! Tags: dorkery, fandom, geekness

i have been told that i really must go to comiccon at least once in my life. @ 25 bucks i can do that...& prolly should, considering my overwhelming nerdiness. hmmm. course, if the question is to geek out or not to geek out, it isn't really a question, right? some of us are so far gone as it is...

So, as mentioned in my comments for my "AAAAGONYYY" post...i was supposed to work on what is now officially (if it wasn't already) permanently reserved as "Michael Day". So I didn't go to work. Because I had this ticket for months, and they scheduled their training on my day off with no warning. So I forgot to go. And am I ever glad!!! (see new userpic) *MELTS* So...the rundown: ( Read more... )So, yeah. All around, another stellar night with Michael Rosenbaum. I have come to think there is no other kind. He makes everything special. He makes his fans feel special. He makes the kids he hangs with beforehand feel special, and more whole, as evidenced in the vids of him with the RMHC kids. He is a truly generous man, and we are blessed to know of him and to follow his craft. Can't wait to hear more from you, Mr. Michael Rosenbaum, and thank you! And yes; the phone is saved. Thus, the pics are saved; at least from the first half of the event. Hamlat, I'll get them to you soon! And now as I've overstayed my welcome on the roommate's computer by two hours or so, au revoir. Miss you guys! The only thing that was missing, is missing each year from this experience is all y'all. I wish more of you could come. My apartment is always open for boarders, if it saves hotel money! I dream of our descending en masse someday in "LJ Rosenfans" (or something similar) t-shirts, *g*, to outmatch the Rosebuds. Someday. Take care, m'Rosenfriends! (for more pics, see my photobucket: http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/ee7/CLex4Lex/Michael/ ...and use as you wish of the originals. There are a lot of collages though...and some of them are made up of other pics I've used by permission, so watch out for that in the descriptions. Share and share alike.)
