As you guys undoubtedly know, I occasionally struggle with, among other things, impostor syndrome, wherein I doubt my ability and suitability for whatever activity I find myself doing, whether it be work, parenting, or playing in a nerdmusik/wizard rock band.

Although the Blibbering Humdingers have been dragging me around with them to all kinds of things and putting me on records and such for over five years, I still most often refer to myself as the “Adjunct Humdinger”, in part because they’ve been at it as long without me as they’ve been with me, plus, as the rest of the band is married to each other, I’m always going to be a little bit of a third wheel* in at least some regard, no matter how much we all love and appreciate each other in a totally platonic way**.

In any case, in spite of my occasional personal doubts, It’s really nice to see my place validated in things like band bios online, and, in a cool development, on the official filk track flyer for this year’s Dragon*Con:

I wish I would have grabbed one of these for posterity, unfortunately, they got “cleaned up” (which could mean actually taken off the table by housekeeping, or got beer spilled on them by con drunks overnight and unceremoniously dumped somewhere) from our merch table overnight before I could file one away.

Oh well.

Anyway, thanks to all for validating my belongingness to this interesting business we call show – I really do appreciate it.
