Windycon + TAFF Auction!

[netmouse]

I will be going to Windycon. In fact, I'm on staff as head of Program Ops. How and when I get there will depend in part on whether or not Brian is going. On the one hand, U*Con. On the other, steampunk goodness, the Foglios, and the chance to chat with Chris Garcia about what it's like to be a TAFF delegate.

He's torn.

But *I*, not being the stalwart gamer that Brian is, will be going to Windycon.

We (meaning Renovation) will be having a fan table there, so let me know if you'd like to help staff it. We (meaning ConFusion) *might* be throwing a party. Let me know if you'd like to help with *that*. We (meaning program ops) will most certainly be having a ball. You can find us in the green room. And we (meaning the TAFF candidates) are organizing a TAFF auction. Don't know when yet, but Frank is sending me nifty things care of Erik V. Olson, Brian and I are donating some things, and I've started soliciting donations from others.

I already have on offer a signed set of the Cloudmages trilogy by S.L. Farrell. (*bows to sleigh*).

I am also contemplating entertainment to draw people to the auction.

Um, Fred, I'm looking at *you*. ;)

Perhaps I'll sing "The Awful Truth" (anyone have a small bell?). Or the Chastity Belt song. I wish I knew someone to sing that with me as a duet. Doing all the voices is fun but the chorus does have a lovely harmony. or am I thinking of "A Fairy Story"? Just have to make sure I'm not up against Tom Smith. Hey, maybe I'll ask Tom to plug the gig, once I know when it is.

So come see me make a fool of myself. And auction off cool stuff.

Donations welcome!

I have a small bell, it's reasonably loud but kinda annoying. And I do remember you singing "Fairy Story" quite well--you'd do fine against Tom unless you've gotten amazingly rusty in the past ten years. I'd suggest you come down to a filk circle some time, but you're a morning person and that's a late night kind of thing. If I were singing something in that direction I'd probably have to pull out "Two Guys Kissin' (Ruined My Life)". ('bout time...) Tom also has "The Ballad of Rupert the Swishy", for which I don't have the melody, but it's much more similar to "Fairy Story".

I actually bought a Tom Smith CD from Tom himself at ConClave...he signed it...I'll never wash that CD again. And then I wound up playing Advanced Tom Smith Substitute (cf. Advanced Tea Substitute and Tom Smith) at the filk circles Friday and Saturday nights since he wasn't feeling well enough to actually stay anywhere near that late. As you may know if my LJ post didn't get lost amidst the wash of everyone else's--and if you didn't see it, you now know pretty much everything in it.

I'm looking for a bell that effectively goes "ding".
