It's like a movie, only with music. It's like a movie musical, only without cameras.

Psst. Guess where I'm going to be this weekend. If you guessed Consonance, Northern California's very own filk convention, you're right! Here is the website:

http://www.consonance.org/

I am their Ghostmistress! Or maybe their Toastmistress. Hmm. I'm not quite sure, but I guess I'll find out when I get there, since they'll either hand me a proton pack or a microphone (vote ghosts, ghosts are awesome). Regardless, I have a concert Friday night at 9:00 PM! I'm going to be performing with some of my favorite people: Vixy and Tony, Amy McNally, Dr. Mary Crowell, Jeff Bohnhoff, Brenda Sutton...it's going to be amazing. And you will not believe this set list. I barely believe it. It's like whoa.

It's a weekend packed with awesome. Brooke has a concert! And Amy! And the Three Weird Sisters, all four of them (it's a thing)! And I have a signing Saturday morning! You should totally try to be there. It's going to be amazing.

Yay, Consonance!

I live on the other coast and am part of the cast of the Pittsburgh Savoyard's production of The Pirates of Penzance which opens this weekend so I'm not able to come. Friends of mine are the Interfilk guests at Consonance, though, and I'd love to be there for them, if I could.

Some day, I will actually go to Consonance. I only live here. It just always seems to happen when I'm dead broke.

Alas.

Well

If you are Ghostmistress be sure to borrow someone's jacket early

I will!

We're looking forward to it! From the schedule, it looks like this will be an awesome Consonance. And Sarah and I will be teaching English Country Dance Sunday morning for anyone interested in learning.

Remember - don't cross the streams. That would be bad.

"Don't cross the harmonies."
"Why?"
"It would be bad."
"I'm a little fuzzy on the whole 'good/bad' thing. What do you mean, 'bad?'"
"Try to imagine all music as you know it stopping instantaneously, and every song in your brain vanishing at the speed of light."
"Total melodic reversal!"
"Right, that's bad. Okay. All right, important safety tip. Thanks."

"...they'll either hand me a proton pack or a microphone..."

Would it be a bad thing if they handed you a proton pack and a headset microphone?

No.

No, it would not.

I'd love to go to Consonance one day. It has so many of my favourite filker people! But I fear that if I saved up the money to go there I'd end up meeting loads and loads of cool and lovely people and I'd want to come back again and again and end up completely broke somewhere in the gutter. Or at least very, very broke.

Anyways, on a slightly happier note, have fun!

ACat is on his way, stepped out the door about 40 minutes ago. Give him a hug for me, ok? (hug)

So many hugs.

You should totally try to be there.

Ok :-)

Oh, so wish I could be there. This will probably be my 3rd weekend in a row attending funerals. Uhg.
