Cheshire Moon in concert … in my house

Alyse — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 14:29:46 +0000

Yep I know I haven’t done this in a while. But I am so pleased to be picking it up again so I can host:

Who: Cheshire Moon – Eric and Lizzie with all their Awesomeness
When: Saturday March 17th (yep St. Patty’s day)
More When: Concert will start around 7, I would show up *early* to get seats and snacks. Show up 6:30ish or earlier. If you show up later please use the side door by the driveway. If you are bringing instruments for the music circle PLEASE try to come early for the ease of instrument storage.
Where: Evan and My house . . . for more specifics and location and facilities Click Here
How Much?: As always, we will be passing the hat, we ask that the audience put in what they think is reasonable for a full length show.
RSVP – YES please!!!! Bring your friends, as well, just RSVP for both you and them. . . (that way I can try to have enough chairs setup and also food enough for everyone) You can comment here, or send email to musicATalyse.org.

Cheshire Moon is the fanciful collaboration of trickster bird Lizzie Crowe and crazed magician Eric Coleman.

What began as a simple joining of two talents in song circles, and occasionally during the mad-hatter antics of Eric Coleman on stage, whipped and frothed into the most likely of pairs. Eric’s love of punk, folk and prog rock gives them an… eerie, otherworldly sound, while Lizzie brings the voice of that otherworld to life in chorus and verse.

Together they bring about a torrent that is as playful as it is lightly sinister, all wrapped up in a pretty little beribboned box. Do you dare to open it?

If you’d like some samples of what you’ll be hearing you can listen to some clips at the Cheshire Moon Website.

Song Circle: Once the concert is over, we will convert the living room into a song circle. Please bring yourself, your instruments, your voice, and your willingness to participate! As usual Evan and I will provide snacks and soda and water, but potluck items are always welcome. To learn more about music events at our house click here

Musecon Programming

Hey all,

I talked to a LOT of you at Musecon, or near Musecon or around Musecon etc about running a program, or volunteering in other ways to help the programming team at the con. If you are interested in running a program, teaching a class, or volunteering in any way with the programming team, please drop me a line (musecon@alyse.org) or go fill out our Programming Questionaire (http://t.co/4cxS9UEx) (nifty online form). Look forward to the awesome year of programs we are all going to put together!

I know it seems early early early, but because of the kinds of programming we do we are trying to have our programming all setup before Capricon this year (also we think that will improve reg rates)

MuseCon Programming Questionnaire

Alyse — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 15:01:31 +0000

So some of you might have heard of MuseCon, or even went last year. For those of you who haven’t – its a fabulous little con that is just getting started (we’re heading into our 2nd year). It is a convention focused on enhancing and encouraging creativity in as many forms as the hotel and our family-friendly policy will allow .

As we are so new, we are run very much on a volunteer basis and are looking for people who might be interested in sharing a bit of their knowledge, skill or creativity by running a program.

We are looking for as many different ideas as we can get our hands on, and have setup a Programming Questionnaire for anyone who might be interested in participating – If you’d like to help out please follow the link to our form.

Thanks!

Lets have some fun around here!

I haven’t had a Craft day or a House Sing/House Filk in what feels like forever! Instead of just declaring a day and going for it, I thought I would see if I could find out when you all would be interested in coming. (I suppose IF you are interested in coming)

So:

If you are interested in a music thing/House Sing/House Filk – http://whenisgood.net/8ynx82i

If you are interested in a craft day – http://whenisgood.net/tyyrm94

If you follow the link it will take you to a page where you can fill out what times are good for you. If we can get enough people interested at the same times. Then Whoop! We’ll have a *thing*.

AWESOME MUSIC! Thanks everyone who performed! Everyone i heard was fantastic, and I feel really blessed for getting a chance to hear all of you in one weekend. I have recordings of some of your concerts – so if you want copies just let me know.

Bought some really great CDs – Heather Dale, Alexander James Adams, Julia Ecklar and (the one I am listening to now) Playing Rapunzel. (How come no one told me that Playing Rapunzel had Mich Sampson in it!)

Slept way more than one might want to to get the most out of a con. This sad side affect of getting older is a significant part of why I have become more meh about going to cons in the last few years. I really want to hang out with my friends and do cuddly bonding – I don’t want to have to have to get drunk, go deaf or wait until midnight or 1am to do it.

Already starting to work up a concert slate for next year. Talked to Debbie Gates, Amy McNally and at least one member of Toyboat about concerts. Yes there will indeed be concerts and house sings (and craft days) in 2011 if I don’t drastically fail in the planning.
