Tomboat tonight ...
Nov. 12th, 2011 12:22 amThere were some tech problems (and, surprise of all surprises, opening ceremonies ran late), but we got going ...
Desert Storm
500 Hats
Domino Death
Zombie Momma
Return of the King
Dervish
Flying Car
Hellraiser
PQR
307 Ale
Would You Like To Play A Game?
Rocket Ride
Rocket Ride may have been the biggest rush I have ever had onstage. The audience sang along, yelled along. It was a great show, now I go collapse ...

Windycon 2010
Nov. 19th, 2010 11:30 amI suppose I should write about last weekend. I think I mentioned everything I wanted to. If you think there is something else that I should rant about ... let me know.
( I'm not sure I can do it justice. )

TOMBOAT !!!
Sep. 14th, 2010 08:22 pmTomboat is the inimitable Tom Smith backed up by Toyboat. This particular combination will take Tom Smith songs and turn them up to 11. As well there will be special guest villains Amy The Fiddler on, well, fiddle and Raven Ap Morgan on keyboards. Expect some serious fun!
9pm Friday Windycon ... be there !!!

There was going to be this thing called Tomboat at Windycon next weekend. Toyboat backing up Tom Smith that is. Due to our recording schedule and Tom and our performing schedules and just life getting in the way, this is not going to happen at this time. It may still happen at some future date.
Which means that I am under the most unusual of circumstance at Windy.
I am attending a con. I have nothing to do. Nothing. At all.
I don't know when the last time was that this happened, but I am going to try to keep it that way ... for Windy anyway.
BUT, if you find yourself at Windy, we will have CDs with us, and the Ropers have our CDs. So please support our debilitating social disorders, and buy our music. For that matter, go to themadmusicarchive.com and vote for Would You Like To Play A Game (Emi, what is the link to go sign up and vote?). And take another listen to it on The Fump.

Capricon: The short form
Feb. 23rd, 2009 09:10 pmThe bad stuff (let's get rid of that first)
Nervousness over my first show in awhile (which led to me being a basket case much of Thursday and Friday)
Bronchitis (which sent me to bed most of the day Saturday)
A dead radio station (may it live again)
The good stuff
As mentioned before, my show with the ever so lovely and talented![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sweetmusic_27.
Howling Boat (or Toy Beagle) pulling a show out of our ... ummm, doing a show on the fly to fill in time. The 4 of us had never played those songs before, and I think we were pretty darn good.
TWOfilkertom shows, both different, both brilliant
Two visits to my favorite holy place
YUMMY indian food with good friends Saturday evening (at which point I started feeling better)
sweetmusic_27's solo show ... I had no idea you could sing like that
tollers's solo show ... But I already knew you could sing like that
harperjen's solo show ... see above
The three folks mentioned above and their show Saturday night, I only saw a bit, but man it was good.
Being able to play with my band in a couple different contexts.
Some nifty news that a few of you have heard, and that hopefully if it comes off a lot more of you will hear toward the end of the year (hey, I gotta be vague sometimes)
It was very much a hot and cold weekend. Much of it was pretty bad, but in the end the high points far outweighed the bad parts.
And I am back to the Chicago area this weekend for Toyboat practice, then off to Marscon the following weekend for a Toyboat show in a small room ... it's gonna be ugly folks.

Good thoughts

filk), filkertom has had surgery after tearing his quadriceps muscle.
He makes his living with his music, so now would be a good time to go buy his music, since he's going have to cancel a lot of shows.
