Party report, etc.

Yesterday was the annual "It's Green!" party at the Starport; sort of a small crowd this year (I didn't publicise it on the usual newsgroups; may still have been con-lagged from Consonance last weekend), but good conversation and plenty of food. The 11 pounds of corned beef went very quickly, and I fear the gamers upstairs missed out completely (again due to a communication breakdown on my part).

The flower_cat, roaringmouse (who came down Friday evening to help), and I did a little more cleaning than usual. Colleen and Mouse managed to get the little closet under the garage stairs cleaned out so we could move the huge plastic bin of Consonance con-suite stuff into it, and Colleen and I discussed further cleanup plans.

Managed to get diald going on the new server-under-construction, so this evening I should be able to pull down any mail that went to the ISP rather than the DSL line. Much of the geek-talk at our parties happens in the office anyway. Also showed off the latest mix of "World Inside the Crystal", with cflute's flute tracks.

I turn 58 today. What hill? I didn't notice any hill...

I wish I had know about the It's Green party. Sqeaker and I are in town and had some time yesterday evening.

Glad things went well.

Grump!

Thought I'd at least mentioned it in my LJ, but I guess I hadn't. My brain appears to be turning to swiss cheese.

Next one appears to be June 11th, and the house is always open on Wednesdays.

Is this a mix with just two flute parts, composited out of the five we recorded? If so, can you send me a copy? I'd love to hear how it turned out.

Kinda happens when you get old, Dad. No offense intended....

Yes, it's just the two best of the five tracks. I still need to check and see whether I need to pull in a bit from one of the other takes, and the levels may need tweaking, but it's pretty good. I've also considered doing some cut-and-paste to make (or is that "fake") an instrumental verse.

(URL sent via email -- if you have trouble with the ogg I'll put up the .wav file. In any case, I'll try to send you a CD sometime later this week.)

Wednesdays isn't likely to be terribly useful to me under most circumstances, unfortunately. I would love to be living back in the Bay Area.

Hopefully the wedding I am supposed to be attending in June isn't that weekend.
