Did I mention that it's a busy month?

Between trying to get some demos going at work, and trying to get an album ready at home, and getting ready for Consonance less than three weeks from now, and a songwriting workshop next weekend, things are a little busy here.

This evening I've scheduled a practice session with Joyce Uggla, who sang with me at Worldcon; I'm trying to find songs that I can do with both her and cflute (waves). The tentative setlist is here (suggestions welcome). I've always imagined Demon Lover with flute on the woman's part and guitar on the man's, and everything I do with a chorus will benefit from an extra voice.

Later this week -- preferably tomorrow -- I need to check out a couple of Linux CRM packages so I can set up the customer database (suggestions welcome; Debian packages vastly preferred) and get chaoswolf (waves) started on the data-entry, upgrade my main server from Sarge to Etch so I can actually run said packages, and get some last-minute re-takes done.

Meanwhile, take a look at the amazing CD cover photo-shoot by artbeco (waves) -- additional comments are still welcome. I'm also soliciting suggestions for track order on the album.

"songwriting workshop"

[Phil perks up!] Is this an on-going thing or a one-time event? If on-going, I'd be very interested in any comments about the mechanics, apparent value, and anything else you have to say on the subject. (Even if it's not on-going, it still sounds interesting...just not as likely to provide ideas for me to steal consider.)

One-shot; this weekend at Kathy Mar's house. I'll post my notes when it's over.

Have I given you money for the album yet? I've forgotten. If not, must rectify the Auntie M of little brain.

You don't appear to have. At least, I don't have a preorder form with your name on it, nor a paypal receipt.
