Loscon 2006 set list and concert report

[mdlbear]

Now that I'm home with my software running on a real computer, I can post my setlist for Loscon:

Set list: Loscon-2006

1. Ta(l)king Preorders
2. Silk and Steel
3. The Last Train
4. Cicero in the Twenty First Century
5. Guilty Pleasures
6. The Mushroom Song
7. The World Inside the Crystal

You'll note that it's pretty short -- total about 20 minutes. It was a 30 minute slot, but I spent some time at the beginning fussing with my new recording gear. That probably ate 5 minutes, and the other 5 went into patter and a little too much audience interaction. The chairs were all arranged in a circle, so people in the audience apparently felt free to talk among themselves between songs the way they would in a chaos circle. There were only about a dozen people in the audience.

Note to self: make sure concert seating is appropriate; rearrange chairs if necessary.

I don't think most of the recording I made will be of much use except for reference, though the sound quality appears, on a brief listen, to be excellent. There were a number of places where I simply got distracted and the chords went off into the twilight zone, and of course "Ta(l)king Preorders" was only two days old and still pretty rough. I sang it several more times in circles.
