…and we’re both off to a party, with guitars and filk books and a box of wine.
We think we deserve it.
It's the monthly filk night…

Hope you will see fit to give us a revue. 😉
Yes you do! Enjoy your evening of silliness!

Have a great time!

And here I am with 231 lbs of Millennium Pandemonium filk CDs in my living room since they were not shipped to the customer like we asked…
oooooooooooohhh, dear.
Well, it was interesting—too many non-singers, who naturally want to talk, and sometimes difficulty finding a volume that didn’t drive the talkers to talk louder. I don’t have a loud voice, and it’s pitched at normal conversation level, ie, alto; so I just couldn’t carry over it the way the sopranos can. One is tempted to let the 12-string just blast a silence into the room and then sing softly, but that’s unpleasant, so I tried to restrain that impulse. Good food, though, but most of the main edibles were onioned, so neither Jane nor I could eat it, just look longingly: we made do with crackers, cheese and hummus. Still we had what I think was a good time. We ate, we drank, we sang, and our fingers survived. That’s not too bad an evening.
Didn’t get to spend as much time at Westercon/ConChord as I had been planning because Trink was just recovering from the amputation, but I did get to see Seanan McGuire play and sing. There’s an interesting talent, very enjoyable to watch. You do have to enjoy her two main modes: obscure mythological references or “dead things”. She has a very good song about whether the Black Death was bubonic or hemorrhagic fever, for example. Picked up many CDs while I was there, as well.
Humming for Hummus, as rendered by a flock of enraged hummingbirds….
Some 231 lbs. of CDs? Yikes. You sure they weren’t hiding a singer under all that? One suggests placing pizza nearby and seeing if it disappears. No, that could be complicated by roommates. Bother.
Sounds like it was a fun evening. Black olives with your hummus, perhaps.
Me? I’m waiting for iTunes to download the latest Doctor Who episode. 😀 Looking forward to the release of Browncoats: Redemption on Sept. 4th.
I may have time to write some more this weekend — but the plot bunnies are bad about springing new ideas and not finishing existing ones. Gotta find a way to fix that. Carrotes frais pour lapins muses? Carrot flavored tea? (Eek, ye gods, no.)
If so, the person is distributed between five boxes, four large and one small…
