Family-Friendly Arisia

[dee-cee.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone!

I am making a handout for people interested in the family-friendly side of Arisia. I'll be listing the events and programs that aren't already covered by Fast Track, as well as some dos and don't s.

I'm looking for any input from panelists/event hosts that would like me to include their item on the flyer. So far, I'll be listing the Geeky Play Dates, the Geeky Belly Dance, and Drum Circle.

What I am looking for are things parents/guardians can do with their kids. I'm not looking for things that little ones are dropped off at.


All suggestions welcome!

Most of the sea shanties I know (the fun ones at least)are not appropriate for kids.

really? I know quite a few that are about the work, or about rough seas or missing home, but of the all the ones I know, only a couple are off-color. Meanwhile, as we say at ren fair - if the kid gets it, it's not our fault.

There are a few of those. But a lot are about how they deal with the unavailability of women when they're at sea and with the availability of women when they're not at sea. Oscar Brand did a bunch of albums of bawdy sea songs back in the 60s.

I still remember the day that I was informed that my son had taught his entire nursery school class the words to "What do you do with a drunken sailor" while on a nature hike ;-)
