Spent a lot of Sunday in conversation, and managed to miss about half of
the juried one-shots. Sorry about that; the ones I heard were good, and a
lot of useful advice was given.
Passed on much of the Worldcon songwriting contest, but I heard the
winning entry, which deserved it. Stayed for ASH Productions' and Merav's
concerts. By that time people were melting down all over the con after
the announcement of Greg McMullan's tragic death. I spent much of the
rest of the day and evening with
pocketnaomi in full
Middle Sized Bear mode. It turns out to be something I hadn't
realized I was pretty good at.
I got in two songs in the dead dog Smoked Salmon: "When I Was a
Lad" as a follower to
tarkrai's performance of "When I was a
Boy" (which used up my one poker chip), and at the very end I led the
group in "The Mary Ellen Carter". I was kind of surprised it hadn't been
sung earlier, but it had to be sung sometime. Missed the second verse; I
had stupidly printed out my songbook rather than the complete collection
(including other peoples' stuff).
The rest of the Big Green Monster's household and houseguests left well
before midnight; I'd kept my room, so crawled off to pack and sleep.
