Leaving on a Jet Plane - OVFF rocked!

[shaddyr]

Headed back to Vancouver today. Am sitting in the Columbus Airport, which is civilized and has free WIFI. I appreciate this and give it the Shaddyr Stamp of Approval. I have finally had some time to process the experience that was OVFF

You, my golden-throated friend, came through like a trooper.

Often I feel that Friday nights at cons are kind of a bust, and I turn in early in a state of frustration. So it was great that I got to spend an hour or two swapping songs with you--it made the whole con experience warmer and fuzzier.

Alas I didn't get to the front row for your concert, but I caught the whole thing and it was great. You have such a fantastic voice, and write such fine songs that the whole thing was a pleasure. And pondside slipped me a bonus shaddyr souvenier--a copy of you singing "Champion" to her fancy backing track. It's a really beautiful piece of work that I've been listening to repeatedly.

At no point did you look or sound like you were screwing up.

So when do I get to hear you in concert again?

*hugs* Also, yay! I'm glad you made it through!

Wish I'd been there!

I had a similar experience with my Interfilk concert -- I don't think it's at all unusual.

OVFF was the first (and so far only) place I've had "terrified in my boots" stage fright. I've thought about it quite a bit, and I think its because you're playing for family. Not just family like Pondfilk- but The Family. The ones you *really* care about how they think of you. And if you screw up- you're doomed for life... (not true, but hey- the monkey brain doesn't really respond well to logic now, does it?)

Everything I've heard tells me that you did a *FANTASTIC* job- and you found new family to boot! :) *hugs*
