Yes we do need hang out, no we have not met in person yet. I'm a Los Angeles area filk fan, just getting back into it all post-divorce. Also keen on folk and "dementia". We have LJ friends in common, obviously.
Barber really did a good job on Harpo's "voice", that's a great way to put it!
"Mrs. Parker" didn't so so well at the box office, mostly I think because JJL's accent and teeth-gritting Connecticut deliver was too authentic and therefore unintellible to most of the movie audience. My theory anyway.
July: Westercon is in Las Vegas. Definitely a sign of population shift to this growing area! However, some of the major committee members are from the L.A. Area anyway. http://www.westercon61.org/
August: ConChord is in Los Angeles. Southern California filk con. http://www.conchord.org/ [All the info on the website at the moment is about this weekend's con, of course. But when 2008 plans emerge, that's where they will appear.]
September: Worldcon is in Denver. I'm definitely planning to go to this, the GoH, Lois McMaster Bujold, is at least a friendly acquaintence and I do love her books. http://www.denvention3.org/
I've been thinking about Consonance, it's the week after Marscon in Minneapolis, so that might make it tricky, but it may be too much fun to pass up (and besides, I never see Becca and Graham, even though I am in Minneapolis about every month)
I wanted to go to Westercon this year, but it didn't fit in my schedule. Las Vegas in July ... I dunno.
I might actually make a Worldcon this year, we'll see.
Conchord ... I dunno, I don't know if I can deal with LA, even just flying in and going right to the hotel. Too many years out here in the provinces.
Ah - so Mahtowa is a specific date, not a numbered weekend. I will be driving out to Denvention. I am currently planning to be there for helping wirh art show setup which I assume (yes, I know what that does) will be happening on the 5th.
