Has fandom been compartmentalized by the expansion of the genre, the explosion of new ways to get it, and the embracing arms of the Internet?

I've been on a few of these panels and it's always interesting. Yes, you can now find the other 37 people in the universe who are obsessed about the same obscure story you are. Yay. But is this a good thing if you never talk to ANYONE else about ANYTHING else?

Once again, damn I can't be there. *grin*

They put you on a panel right before your concert? Not my fault. Sorry.

"The Filk Vault" will probably get into songs by dead people. Er, let me clarify that ... They were alive when they wrote the songs.

I will have Diet Dr. Pepper for you at the airport, as previously discussed. A Filk Czar has to get some things right to keep his guests happy!

insert cheeky recommendation here --> If you also had an apple and a Luna bar, she'd be fed before that 5 o'clock panel!

That's okay, hon -- my plane lands Thursday evening, so I should have time for a TJ's or Whole Foods run.

Ah, so I fail at this "time" thing again. *cheerfully puts 'Space Lasers' back on loop*

I am looking forward to your LMG concert in Dragon's Lair... you do know that (almost all) kids of all ages are welcome. ;-) (There's a very *short* list of PNG's and you are not on it.)

What sorts of things from TJ's do you like?

[cadhla]

It would be somewhat distressing to be PNGed from my own concert!

Reduced-fat fake crab salad; those pressed fruit bars that they have up near the check-out (but not the mango kind, they make me die); blackberries; strawberries; liter and a half water bottles.

How about me, Persis?

I am harmless.

1:00 PM: The Filk Vault.
This is my only panel all weekend that doesn't include at least a small potential of including dead things. I am hence sad. But it'll be all about filk and filking and old recordings and forgotten songs, and that's pretty spiffy.

Well, is "Sittin' Up With the Dead" a forgotten song? It's got a body in it, at any rate. . . then again, it may not count as Filk, I don't know these things.

[madfilkentist]

I'm trying to think of some appropriate forgotten songs, but I can't remember them.
