At long last ... Capricon, the novel (although not as long as usual)
I left about an hour later than I planned, it's good to be back on schedule again.
I got there before rush hour got ugly. There was a problem getting into the room, but that was solved pretty quickly. I started setting gear up and

I had the station up and running within 20 minutes or so of when I wanted. I was just running random stuff all night so that was ok.
I headed off to opening ceremonies where I stepped on one of

I didn't stay up for the circle that night, I needed sleep. Radio Capricon is hard to run and generally very rough on me. But ... this time
I had helpers ... I can' t thank them enough, especially

Angelica Dawn for spinning till OHMYGOD:30 in the morning both friday and saturday night, then turning off the station so I didn't have to.

Samuel T Clemmons for coming on the station and telling his wonderful stories and singing his wonderful songs.
The rest of the weekend is a blur, but here are some highlights.
The Bundle Clan for invading my station so many times. I got my kid fixes and got to play with a cool toy too !!!

Radio Capricon for not exploding.
This was one of the nicest con experiences. The shows went well (see elsewhere for my reports on those) and I say it again, the station didn't explode.
I know there are lots of things I am forgetting, but Capricon always is a blur (no not you

So if you think I am forgetting something significant, yell at me ...

I dont think I used them all, but I used quite a few, and will use them again next year.

It was so wonderful getting to spend time with you. As always you're such a major hit with the Bundle, and the rest of the Clan is pretty fond of you too, Puncle Eric.

As far as "Close Your Eyes" -- that's easy to learn to play... Just a few chords; the words don't rhyme, and there's no fixed scansion... It's all in the timing and delivery. Eye contact is important. Plus a supply of hungry demons to eliminate the people who don't appreciate your performance; that's handy too.
