Walkies

(cross-posted to healthy_fen and mdlbear )

The usual loop walk this morning. Probably the only exercise I'll get tomorrow will be dashing for my connection in DFW.

Live from the OVFF Dead Dog.

This is likely to be a little disconnected; I'm sitting in the Dead Dog filk at OVFF, but pretty far back against the wall. There's power and a strong WiFi signal here. Almost like being there.

(Pause while I set up the H2. Should have done it sooner. I'll get to that later.)

I've been getting to bed much too late, and getting up much too late, to have done any real-time blogging. This will have to do. Let's see.

I managed to capture most of the Pegasus nominee concert; missed the "Songs of home" section because I stupidly forgot that the H2 has a standby mode. Got most of the concerts yesterday; nothing today until now.

Had a two-fer slot yesterday. I originally planned to do "Stuff that Dreams are Made Of" and "Rambling Silver Rose", but discovered that I'd pulled "Stuff..." sometime in the past and hadn't replaced it. Substituted "Cicero", which was a better choice anyway because it gave me a good excuse to mention the album. The guitar work in the last verse was a train wreck, and I had a couple of serious vocal flubs as well. Got much more relaxed for "Rose" and I think turned in a decent performance.

Apart from Thursday night and the two-fer I did next to no singing, except for a couple of hours in the hall last night swapping songs with pocketnaomi. Mostly I sat around in the consuite or hallways and talked. I realized several years ago that that's what I really go to cons for. Might have been different if any of the usual Tres Gique suspects had been around, but they weren't. Even so, there a lot of people here who I wanted to spend more time with.
