Windycon
Whee! Back P.M. (aka pre meds) I remember what it was like to only have one emotion at a time. Now thanks to the side-effects of modern medicine, I get to experience multiple emotions all at once in kind of the same way that the music/harmonies in the song, Sycamore Tree are "spaghettied". Oh, the things I missed in puberty.
I felt well enough to go to the Con on Saturday. Yea! Lots of good music and harmonies to make me 'ole heart swell with the wonder of it all. Let's see, in concert there was Tom Smith, Dave Perry (The Toole's), Dan the Bard and Arne Parrott (Bard Camp), Cathy, Jason & Gundo (Three Fifths), Feng Shui Ninjas, Beth Kindermann, Riverfolk, Moonwulf and oh, let us not forget every band's Plus One - Amy -insert giggle. I'm a little miffed at myself for missing Herculean Cheese Storm and Adam Selzer, but I was having my hair done. Moonwulf sang a sad song in his concert about regretting what you didn't do more than what you did do. It affected me as all good music is wont to do.
I have been wanting to see Wicked for a long time and it finally came back to Chicago. But, you know, I wanted to see it with someone who would totally be into it and someone who had not seen it yet and someone who had not memorized the entire libretto yet. The first person who came to mind was a gentleman whom I have seen only at Windycon, like, for the past 10 years, but didn't know his name. So, with Moonwulf's song in my head, I caught up with this guy in the hallway and asked him if he would like to accompany me - and he said YES!! Yippie!! And to top it off, I now know his name! So, because of my excitement of the impending outing I think I sang too loudly in the circle or something, because I kept getting "the looks" that usually means I'm too loud. So I felt badly and paranoid about that. Then I think I inadvertantly hurt another friend's feelings for which I am utterly remorseful and guilt-ridden. And forgetful, too. I think I've edited this post 12 times now.
ARGGH! Spaghetti! Too much all at the same time. Where's the re-set button?
