FLFOT! (Folklore Friday on Thursday!)

My Fridays are usually kind of busy - and I sometimes forget about Folklore Friday.  All right, I may have forgotten for many months.   Here are some links updating what is going on in the wonderful world of folklore studies!

  • The Boiled Down Juice is collecting stories about Sulphur Springs, Arkansas.   Check them out here
  • I saw a guy on the train reading Nancy Marie Brown's new book "Song of the Vikings: Snorri and the Making of Norse Myths."   When I got to work I immediately looked it up and discovered the author's blog God of Wednesday.   Add this one to your reading list!
  • Mr. Proverb - Wolfgang Mieder - is the winner of the AFS Lifetime Scholarly Achievement Award
  • Couldn't make the AFS meeting in New Orleans last month?   Read the report here.
  • Indiana University - home of America's premiere folklore program - is looking for a lecturer
  • .In more IU news: Professor Portia Maultsby was the Charles Seeger Lecturer at the Society for Ethnomusicology's meeting in New Orleans.
  • Another blog to add to your blogroll:  Living Ethnography.   Now this is how to do a blog!
  • New issue of JAFL!
