I just posted this to rec.music.filk.

This is a little con that has big ambitions. The music guy, Josh, started a
music track last year and this year it has exploded.

Some bits from their music page

This year we have a special treat for you. Taking advantage of having Emma Bull
as a guest, we will have a concert Saturday evening in the Grand Ball Room,
following the Masquerade judging. We proudly announce an amalgam concert
featuring Emma Bull, Lojo Russo, Adam Stemple, Lorraine Garland, Trevor
Hartman, and Paul Score. You may recognize their names from the bands Cats
Laughing, The Flash Girls, Folk Underground, Funks Grove, Boiled in Lead, Tim
Malloys as well as Lojo Russo's solo touring. So be sure to come for two and a
half hours of the astounding mix of this concert.

But wait, there's more

Confirmed musicians:
Flash Girls (Folk/Rock)
Lojo Russo (Folk/Rock)
Folk Underground (Folk/Rock)
Dave Clement (Folk / Filk)
Eric Coleman (Original Rock)

Rumor has it that there is going to be an attempt to get a monthly music circle
going in Des moines. FINALLY music is getting going here in central Iowa.

(I get to see Dave Clement do an entire show !!! I get to hear Nate bitch about
my voice !!! I get to hang with my favorite blue haired goddes !!! I get to get
my books signed by Emma Bull !!! I even get to do my own show)

There is no way in hell that we can make it. And boy are we pissed. 8(

There are so many of our favorite performers and writers and people going to that show that it will be hell itself that we have missed it. And now you're rubbing our noses in it, you rat bastard!

That's it... Next time you do a house concert at our place, we might not take you to Pita Inn! 8)

Wow ... this may be as near to a bitch slap as anyone would ever get from GGG. grin

As for Pita Inn, I know where it is so I can manage all by myself.

I do wish you folks could make it though.

Damn, that's an impressive lineup of musicians. I'd love to be there. All I have to do is suddenly become financially independent, so I can quit my job so I can discharge my obligations to my cats at EFRC so I can disappear for another weekend. I'm already out of town too many weekends, and evil people like Marcon and Conclave are stretching me even thinner.

Break a leg!

I am doing a road trip a month through at least august .. we'll see what happens after that ...
