Philcon & Darkover

[gorgeousgary]

Got my Philcon schedule today. Should be a fun weekend; in addition to Sooj as Music Guest we get Heather and Ben and a bunch of the usual Northeast suspects like thnidu, drcpunk, mnemex and sodyera. Also at least one performer I've heard of (Nicole "Blue" Dieker) and am interested in seeing. Looks like I'll be busy Saturday morning/early afternoon. My schedule is as

We'll be at Darkover. Steve has already gone to bed, and I don't think I should make assumptions about his intent to do any filking. I'll try to remember to ask him in the morning before he goes to work.

My annoyance with the con schedule is having the Steampunk social gathering at the same time as the Regency dancing.

Sounds like someone needs to point out to the Steampunk track head the potential high correlation between steampunk fans and regency dance fans (especially at Darkover). It's entirely possible they may not realize this.

Here's what I know I'll be in:

•Sat 1:00 PM in Plaza VII (Seven)-Filk Concerts - Josh Kronengold & Lisa Padol/Mark Mandel (735)
Two Concerts, 30 minutes each - "Josh Kronengold & Lisa Padol" and Mark Mandel
Joshua Kronengold (mod), Lisa Padol, Mark Mandel

•Sat 3:00 PM in Plaza VII (Seven)-Filk - Memorial Circle (744)
A filk circle so we can sing songs of (and favorites of) those whom we have lost in the past year. Note - This circle will be for 45 minutes. Note - Time on this circle MAY change during the convention. Check in the filk room for an update.

•Sat 11:00 PM in Plaza VII (Seven)-Filk Theme Circles - Acapella Only/Holiday Songs (740)
Two 30 Minute theme filk circles -
*Acapella only/A filk circle where no instruments are to be played. Voices only, please!
*Holiday songs - Songs that are either about a holiday or use a holiday song's tune. E.g., "Talk Like a Pirate Day" or L.A. Filkharmonic's "Deck the Halls"
Heather Dale (mod), Ben Deschamps, Mark Mandel

And then bauwdy songs, open filking, maybe travel songs, and so on

I've already threatened to offer up "The Internet Is For Porn" as a "baudy" song... ;-)

Nov cons

[samthereaderman]

You got your schedule Monday the week of the con??? And I see there's still nothing up on their site.

I've decided to go to Darkover instead of Philcon this year.

Philcon...not the most organized of cons...

We plan to be at Darkover, and plan to be filking, not caroling, in the evening.

My Philcon schedule just has our concert and the gaming filk -- I volunteered for more, but ended up filling out the questionairre a second time, which likely wiped out my previous requests.
