  & a song or two, by request, in the con suite
  * bed ~midnight?

My half-hour concert came off without trainwrecks (and only a couple of glitches, which hopefully weren't too noticable to most of the audience. I got a couple of positive comments afterwards, including from the sound guy and GOH. I got the setlist keyed in and an unsplit ogg up on the web in record time, largely because I had nothing better to do while the laundry was running. Some good conversation, though. Not much singing outside the concert. A couple of songs by request in the con suite.

It was a very small con; well under 100 people. They don't have a date, a hotel, or guests for next year; it may well not happen. Sadness.

(ETA: Nick says that it will happen next year; we'll see.)

A good phone call to Callie, who I think needed a friendly voice about then.

It was a good day, and a good weekend.
