[filkertom]

In case you hadn't heard, the luminous S. J. Tucker (s00j) is gonna be back in Ann Arbor a week from tonight, and she's got a special guest -- me! I'm looking forward to this one a lot. Details:

S. J. Tucker and Tom Smith Live at Great Oak in A2!
So much Filk-win it oughtta be illegal!
• Host: Sj Tucker
• Date: Friday, October 2, 2009
• Time: 8:00pm - 10:00pm
• Location: Great Oak Cohousing Community - Common House
• Street: 500 Little Lake Drive (down the street from Sunward)

• Description: Great Oak Cohousing has welcomed SJ back again...Little do they know what musical mayhem they're in for! Sooj will proudly welcome special guest Tom Smith at this concert for the first time in history. Consider holding onto your hats, folks, because we suspect the silly is gonna fly tonight! All ages are welcome. Join us!

I believe it's gonna be the standard house-concert pass-the-hat or ten-bucks-suggested or somethin', and of course we'll both have CDs for sale. It should be a very silly and fun time.

Sadly, I am no where near Ann Arbor.

CURSE YOU, GEOGRAPHY! YOU HAVE FOILED MY PLANS AGAIN!

Do NOT give Them ideas! You get Sooj made illegal, I'm gonna hafta hurt some people.

Then again, I dunno. Anybody that would make Sooj illegal probably *needs* hurting. (Not that I'd hurt anybody who unwittingly gave Them ideas...)

The silly is gonna fsckin' MAKE ORBIT.

I want video. Hell, I'd *pay* for video.

Please tell me that this will be recorded...
I have filthy filk lucre that I will be happy to trade for such a recording.

Thanks, guys, for an awesome birthday present! I will totally be there.

> Sooj will proudly welcome special guest Tom Smith at this concert for the first time in history.

Um... This is the first time this concert will take place, so "at this concert for the first time in history" is redundant at best. Is the intent to say that this is the first time these two performers have shared the stage?

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

I presume so. I didn't write it. :)

grumble ...

Still, I should be able to make her show in Chicago the next night.

Yay!

[ladymondegreen.livejournal.com]

This sounds like an awesome time.

Please hug Sooj for me.

[lizziecrowe.livejournal.com]

so AMAZINGLY upset that I can't see the two of you guys!!! Please hug Sooj and K for me, and let her know Chicago misses her! :)

If there's a recording of this for sale, I will buy it!

Uh.

Tom, my other favorite denizen of A2 hyped this concert to me, and I was already wanting to go, except I have to work the next day. However, I just realized that the time is the same time as my show on Dementia Radio, and with decent internet access, a power socket, and permission of both performers and venue...

I have a feeling you know where this idle thought is going. I'd love to discuss the idea to see if said permission might be possible to obtain. If not, it's okay, it was just an idea I had. :)

Also, I sent you email about something else. :)

Hiya. :) I just got it straight from s00j that "hell yeah!" you would have her permission to broadcast. We have ubiquitous fast wireless, ample power socketry, and probably anything else you could want.

And hey, I just realized that if you need a place to crash, we could arrange that pretty easily, too. So please come on down!

I would SO be there if it weren't a 12 hour drive. I have to wait for October and the Festival of Souls.

(We've been Sooj fans since Tangles, when she was still playing the Memphis Gay & Lesbian Center once a month)

Unfortunately, I live hundreds of miles away, in Ann Arbor, MI, and I have to work Monday and Wednesday nights, so there's no way I could make it anyway.

If only someone would schedule one of these cool things on a Friday in Ann Arbor, I'd make it for once.

Sigh.

Oh, Peter?

*thwap*

Thwap? Me?

[peteralway.livejournal.com]

But...but...everyone else posted such very good reasons for not going--I didn't want to be the freak who let Tom know that this post is useful and I'm looking forward to going.

*chuckle* Working the next day has never been a suitable excuse not to be up in Michigan for something awesome (I live in Cincinnati), and in fact have made many a 'Michigan commute' after a con up yonder.

My more immediate concern is that I /volunteered/ to work OT that day as well. Time to see if they really need me, considering I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs on OT today.

But I did get a giggle out of your post, much appreciated on this very rainy day. :)

[ericcoleman]

You are a bad bad person Mr Alway ... and I mean that in the best way

[shadowriderhope.livejournal.com]

Hi Tom, just a few things to add. :) I can't wait!

We're asking $10-$15 sliding scale, and re: parking:

Please park along Little Lake Drive unless you require handicapped parking, which is available next to the Common House. Directions and maps are available at http://www.gocoho.org/location/directions/.
