Yoiks! and Away!

Morning earworm: Don't Let the Rain Come Down, the Serendipity Singers. It's Pledge Drive time again in PBS world, and I made the mistake of watching their Brief History of Folk Music the other night. Amid the protest songs and no less than three different versions of Turn! Turn! Turn!, we were subjected to this silliness from the early days. Please make it stop!

It seems Grooveshark has changed their interface - and as with most upgrades, it doesn't seem to be an improvement. So it goes.

Hoping for a quiet day today, occupied mostly with laundry and packing. I generally go for this on gig days anyway, because I'm just that way; adding the final travel arrangements to the mix shouldn't be too much trouble. Fortunately, tonight will be relatively early - with a good load-out we should be out by midnight, which would ideally get me to bed around 1:30, enough for an early rise and out the door by 7:00. If the gods of travel and traffic smile upon us, we should make the room around 14:00, which would allow a brief nap before navigating the public transit connections to the show, with enough time for a bit of touristry and dinner beforehand. With that many Crafties in one place, I imagine there will be some sort of gathering afterward. The big question currently is Sunday - there is a good chance that the Wife may not have to work Monday, which would allow us an extra day there. There is also a rumor that TG will be holding a workshop on Sunday, which would be uber-cool, but potentially involve stranding the Wife for part of the day, which is not so cool, though she could potentially attend as well. We'll see what happens.

The quality of the question determines the quality of the answer.

  1. Hope you had an awesome time in NY! Our final show is this morning and I am now ready to be done with it although I have to admit that it is far more satisfying to do the show more than once after all the preparation. :)

  3. Exactly. They are singing for Epcot Candlelight Processional on Christmas Eve. I will be in PA and won't be able to do the show.....so I handed in the music last night and went home. Felt kinda nice. :)
