Consonance report: Friday

I had a great time at Consonance this year. As Toastmaster I had a perfect excuse not to miss any of the concerts, which were uniformly excellent. I also got the first concert slot, 7:30pm Friday, which meant that the room started out mostly empty and ended up mostly full, but it beats being scheduled opposite the Masquerade at a big con. The concert went pretty well; the usual number of flubs, but the audience didn't seem to notice.

( Set list, cut for brevity as usual. )

I had brought my Linux-based recording set-up, but (wisely, I suspect) decided that I didn't need the extra hassle of testing and tending it, especially since it would have been an untested configuration. Not having an easily-portable monitor, the plan was to use a laptop as an X-terminal. It would almost certainly have worked, but I didn't need the extra mental load.

I crashed out of the filk circle at about 2am.
