Desolation --- Oh, No!

Very little publicity (mentioned only on the second page of the daily zine, and not even with the rest of the program items) and not much signage, so the audience varied between 4 and 6 or 8 people. Went well. I only had a 30 minute set prepared, but as it turned out there was an hour to the next set; I filled in with patter, conversation, and the long version (Dylan's, then my two verses) of Desolation Row. Would have run a little longer if I'd remembered to pull "Cicero in the Twenty-First Century", which I'd intended to do. As it was, there was about a 15 minute gap, which I used to run my guitar up to the room.

I'm not sure whether the problem was in the programming, the pubs, or somewhere in between; this con seems a little less well-run than previous Loscons. It's still coming off a bit better than last year; that may be due to the hotel having gotten used to us.
