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.

Audience crafting during concerts – Thoughts?

I know I am only one of many many folks who often knit during concerts – I don’t *think* that this is disruptive – but don’t know for sure. But I was looking at the concert schedule for Windycon this weekend and realized I would probably be spending hours at a time in the concert room and thought that it would be great to spin (like with a spinning wheel) during the concerts – I rarely get that kind of extended sitting time, especially with such excellent entertainment and kind of wanted to take advantage of it. It is a great hobby for me, i find it relaxing for my hands and body and great to do to music or an audio book.

Does anyone have an opinion – I wouldn’t want to do it if it was rude or distracting for the musician or the other audience members – thoughts?
