Dragon*Con Comedy Music Poll

[filkertom]

For those of you who have been to Dragon*Con in the past few years, and/or are going this year, I've posted a poll on the dragoncon LJ community. This is not a thing to be gamed; we're trying to seriously find out, at least a little bit, whether or not the whole dementia-music-track thing has worked since it started with Dr. Demento being there in '04.

Many thanks!

Update: Interesting stats so far (7:15 EST). Out of 45 votes, fully 75% want the same amount of or more comedy music. Only one person said they're not interested in it, and six people who said that's not why they come to the con indicated they could be talked into it. Those votes interest me greatly, along with the three who voted, "Dragon*Con has had comedy music?" There's something going on. Probably too small a sample yet, but there's something going on.

Yeah, well, that's why, while I will certainly offer to do filk concerts there and help promote it, what we really want to do is hype Funny Music, Comedy Music. Filk, ya gotta explain. And I've got it down to a fine art, but it does still take a few sentences. If they for some reason can't grasp Funny Music, you say "Weird Al" and you've got 'em.
