Oh ...

I'm playing a show at Capricon. Yeah I know that I said I wasn't going to play solo shows, but what can I say, they asked me. 3:15 Friday afternoon.

It will also be broadcast live on Radio Capricon so anyone who can listen to internet radio at 3:15 on a Friday afternoon can listen to it (as well as a bunch of other nifty concerts, check out the schedule).

I'm trying to work out what I want to do. I think that I'll dig into the songbook a little deeper than usual, stay away from the usual stuff.

So, what songs should I do, considering that I want to stay away from the stuff I do all the time? Is there some song on one of my CDs that you want to hear live? Is there some cover song that you have seen me do live or in a song circle that you'd like to hear?

Help me out with my set list ...

Awesome!

Strangely, I've never heard of this con before, and I live 1/2 an hour from it! I'll definitely show for your show. :-) Gotta support the demented folks out there. Do you know the gaming chair? I run stuff for Penguicon and ConFusion every year - it would be nice to be able to do that 1/2 hour from home instead of driving 6 hours. :-D

I don't know who runs gaming right now, but that should get you to them.

And if I stay away from the usual stuff, it's likely that it will not be a terribly demented show ... or still a demented show, just not a lot of funny songs.

I'll probably see/game with you at some point. My name is "Not Important".

I always want to hear "How Can I Miss You", "Low Self Esteem Talking Blues", "Jordan Cochran" and "Hides". And everything. I love all your songs. :-)

I know this woman, she has a certain phrase that I think works in this situation ... what is it again?

Oh yeah ... bite me.

You have NEVER heard me do a Boston or REO song ...

I can hope...

So do one slowly. A ballad version of "Ridin' The Storm Out" might be amusing.

I do a country blues version of the Ramones Rockaway Beach

Kewl! I do an intense angst-ridden ballad version of "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath. Usually only one verse, 'cause that's all anybody lets me get away with. Also all I can remember the words for.
