Dreams Of Noise

starcat_jewel posted this in filk, so I guess the advertising starts now. :)

I'm gonna be performing in Houston, TX next Tuesday, Feb. 21, at Oxford Hall. Ten bucks at the door, $8.00 with student ID, kids under 12 free. Door opens at 7:30, show starts at 8:00, probably two hour-long sets with intermission.

I had a lovely time at ConFusion Saturday -- Heather Alexander, Steve Simmons, Mark Bernstein, Ida Briggs and the adorable Joey/Tiffany/William/Mark Pirate Show, many hugs from good folks I don't see enough of, and the best fannish dinner I've had in forever (starring Anne, Leslie, and Mitchell Burnside Clapp, with special guest stars Mary Bertke, Sarah Zettel, and Tim Smith).

*sigh* All good things must come to an end. ( Cut for whining.... )

Good fun at Archon -- thanks to Michelle, Les, and everyone else. Especially thanks to all the cool folks at the open filk last night.

Eight and a half hours each way. Fortunately, most of the driving was very pleasant (not counting the occasional dipshit who needs to tailgate at 85 mph).

From about the Michigan state line to I-94 thirty-eight miles later, I watched a thunderstorm brewing behind the overcast. Flashes every two or three seconds, lighting up the whole sky. The rain held off until I was within a mile of the exit, and then I outran it. It should be here by midnight, but I'm inside now. :)

So how's the weather where you are?

NTodd, one of the regular commenters at Eschaton, also has a regular podcast, and for today's installment he interviewed me. :) It's pretty much Filk 101 for Mundanes, but we had fun.

Nicked from swampfaye by way of jrittenhouse, ten celebs I find attractive:

1. Catherine Zeta-Jones
2. Salma Hayek
3. Kate Winslet
4. Miranda Otto
5. Minnie Driver
6. Anne Hathaway
7. Claudia Christian
8. Jennifer Connelly (when she's not gone frickin' anorexic)
9. Angelina Jolie
10. Keira Knightley

( And now a few on the flip side.... )
