The Rest of the Story

howeirdHad about 2 hours of cat time, nibbled on some celery with ranch dip.
Rehearsals was supposed to be a stumble-through of Act I, I think we got 3/4 of the way. Now that we have most of the set, it is clear the scene changes will be long and painful and there are too many of them. I hope they get a large run crew.
I got to sing my solo twice, but the second time I didn't get the cue I was looking for, and it was a total FAIL. I also need to memorize the part. I'm not called tomorrow, so I'll do it then.

consonance_con finally published their schedule for this weekend - not just the schedule but the whole effing program book. Interfilk GoH is Merav Hoffman. I don't really remember, but I think I once walked out on her concert for being boring. She has nothing on youtube, everything on bandcamp is for pay. I just need 30 seconds of audio to know. I guess it doesn't really matter, it's Saturday, and from the looks of the schedule I'll be there from 1 pm till midnight. Friday I'll wait till after commuter gridlock, maybe halfway through the sing-along concert, then toastmaster concert. Open filk depends on how sleepy I am.
Not much on Sunday - a concert by someone I've never heard of at 12:30, Adam Sakellarides**, 2x10s, Puzzlebox concert I'll probably bail on because I have seen them so many times.
**Looked him up on Youtube. Nasal voice. Some clever lyrics, but mostly cliché. 50-50.
Plans for tomorrow:
WFH early - I need to install VM on the work PC and then linux. Should be doable with RDP.
P/U two packages at the apartment office
Mountain View, doctor's appt
Plan A: take the car to the place which installed the alarm and have them fix the trunk release, and install a new backup cam
Plan B: Go to the office and twiddle my thumbs all afternoon.

Date: 2013-03-01 04:07 am (UTC)If I recall correctly, we disagree on one thing about filk performers. I am turned off by coarse voices, and moreso by out of tune, key-challenged singing. Bob Dylan is one such. Johnny Cash was mildly annoying, with his tendency to sing flat, but how can one completely condemn the man who gave us "Flushed From The Bathroom Of Your Heart"?
Another thing which will see me looking for the exit is those endless fantasy epics which have the structure A A A A A ad infinitum. I can't remember if it was Jeff Bohnhoff or Tony Fabris who said in a songwriting workshop "please, people, write a bridge!".
BTW, enjoyed very much our elevator music. Maybe we can do "Please Don't Busy Me" as a duet during 2-fers at a future con.
