I had a panel on Humor, and how to know when you have gone too far. The panel was made up of me and five of the nutcases from Yard Dog Press including the ever so sweet and demure Selina Rosen.

I have not laughed so much in years. Selina is one of the funniest people I have ever met. I did hurt her with Crank Generation though.

I headed out right after, knowing if I stayed for much longer I would end up staying for too long.

With a short break for depression in the middle, it was a great weekend. I needed this.

( The rest of the story )

My show ended up split into two sets, since there was a wedding I wanted to be at

Only Coffee House In Town
Low Self Esteem ...
Standards
Pine City Motel Blues
Trophy Wife
The Woman I Want
Jordan Cochrane

Set Two
Hides
Hey Dad !!!
Nice Girls

The first set there were 5 people, two of whom sat and scowled at me the entire set. The second set there were two people.

I'm a little down at the moment.

I'm playing at a room party in just a little bit, we'll see how it goes.

High - Opening ceremonies ... so wrong ... so DEEPLY wrong.

High - A very lovely woman just walked past me wearing a "I hated Dubya before it was cool" shirt.

Low - Lyle Lovett muzak here in the lobby ... just too weird.

High - The first panel, music and writing, was great. We stuck right with the topic the entire time ... sure we did. We talked about books, we talked about movies, we talked about soundtracks, good and bad. It was lovely.

Low, but turns to high quickly - My show today is up against a wedding. I am going to stop the show at 5:25 and we're all going to head down to the wedding, since I don't want to miss it either (I'm such an old softie) and the continue the show after.

High - I am also playing in a room party tonight, thanks to the Promotion Queen ... the Ever So Fabulous Star.

It's shaping up to be a good weekend. I'm relaxed for the first time in a couple of weeks. Pooch and I were up till about 2:30 telling each other pet stories.

I needed this.
Oh ... and I can wear Chucks again. My heel has healed from it's problems last year, my ankle is doing fine. I do have insoles ... but I am wearing my cartoon chucks this afternoon. Pink Chucks for the show.

More later.

How is your day ???

At Conquest. The drive was nice, and quick. I have connectivity. We'll see if the rest of the weekend goes so smoothly.

So, what are you folks doing this weekend ???

Saturday

Noon - KANSA C - Music and Writing: What music do writers listen to, and which songs have inspired story ideas? John C. Tibbetts, Eric Coleman, Lynette Burrows, Laura LeHew (M)
I'm giving the sort of opposite viewpoint on this one.

5 pm - Salon A - Concert

Sunday

Noon - SHAWNEE A - Humor Writing: The Fine Line between Funny and Cruel: How to decide when and where to draw the line with humor. When is it just funny, and how do you know when you’ve gone too far? James K. Burk, Eric Coleman, Linda Donahue, Lee Martindale, Tracy S. Morris, Selina Rosen (M)
I've crossed that line a few times.

Or any of it for that matter, I'm still not good at this self promotion thing.

The Conquest poster

You may have seen him as the Archon Music GOH 2005 or at any of his dozens of other con appearances in the last few years. You may wonder why he looks so much like Charles Piehl. They both wonder about that. You may have heard him on the Dr Demento Show. You may have NO idea who he is. Come find out why he is becoming one of Fandom’s favorite smart alecs.

Conquest ... Me ... the grumblings that I claim are songs, noises that I claim are guitar playing and ... ahem ... singing.

Salon A at 5:00 on Saturday

let's see what goes wrong now this week ...

As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, this tuesday I am the featured artist on Whole Wheat Radio. I will be phoning in bumpers throughout the day and expect to be in their chat room all evening from about 6pm on.

I will be at Conquest. I may be flat broke, I may sleep in my car, but I WILL be at Conquest if for no other reason than to see my clone Charles Piehl. Click on that picture at the risk of your sanity ...

I'm not getting a lot done recording today, but there are good reasons ... really.

Edit: Something has happened today that makes Conquest for certain. Space aliens must be involved ... oh ... Alymid ... I was right ...

( I had never been to CONquest before, )
