promo: ConGregate 9
By the time anyone’s reading this, I’ll be on my way south to participate once again in ConGregate, a wonderful convention in Winston-Salem NC that does me the honor of having me as a guest once again in 2023. I’ll be playing a bunch of shows and sitting on a few panels, and generally hanging about with friends and enjoying the company of my lovely spouse who’ll be joining me.
If you happen to be in the area, here’s my schedule as it stands for the weekend:
- Saturday, 11:30am, Hearn C/D: Blibbering Humdingers performance
- Saturday, 1:30pm, Salem: Panel – “SF Themes in Rock Music”
- Saturday, 3:00pm, Hearn C/D: White Plectrum and Friends
- Saturday, 5:30pm, Hearn C/D: Chuck Parker performance
- Sunday, 1:00pm, Winston: How We Found Fandom
So, yeah, three shows on Saturday – solo, with the band, and with pretty much every other musical guest performing the tunes of our good friend Keith Brinegar, aka White Plectrum, who’s been in the con scene for decades, and has a ton of great songs, but is having some health issues, so we’re all stepping up. I’m really looking forward to it.
There’s also a couple of “open filk” sessions throughout the weekend, and in general, I’ll likely be supporting my musical friends performing throughout the weekend, so I’ll likely be there. There’s lots of good stuff to do, which you can browse to your heart’s content at congregate92023.sched.com if you’re so inclined.
I could talk about this week, but it’s mostly been work (lots of work), biking, and rehearsal for this weekends so I don’t suck. I’m gonna need this long weekend with my friends playing rock star.
