so…dragoncon

31 Aug

Having gotten clear of the COVID business (it was relatively minor on my end), tomorrow morning I start heading south to spend the weekend in Atlanta playing shows with the Humdingers at DragonCon as part of the filk track.

This’ll be my sixth time heading into this particular breach; I won’t say that I’m not a little apprehensive about hanging out with around sixty thousand people for the weekend, but I’ve got a pile of KN-95 masks, and a bunch of fresh antibodies, and a merch table to hide behind when it gets too crazy.

As for where I’ll be if you’re braving things…

  • Thursday 8pm – Fresh Filks (part 1) – online here! – As I’ve done the last couple of years, I recorded a short solo set for the track’s streaming programming
  • Thursday 8:30pm – Geek Sea Shanties – Hyatt Hanover C/D/E – The Humdingers will likely contribute a bit to this one, which has become a bit of a tradition
  • Saturday, 5:30pm – Hyatt Hanover F/G – Blibbering Humdingers concert
  • Saturday 8:30pm – Hyatt Hanover C/D/E – Lord of the Rings show (group sing) – track participants write songs on a theme that gets voted on every year – the Humdingers will have a LotR themed song to contribute here
  • Sunday 8:30pm – Hyatt Hanover C/D/E – Blibbering Humdingers concert

Otherwise, we’ll likely be in the vicinity of our merch table in the Marriott (Marquee level), or enjoying the rest of our peers on the filk track (the schedule is here; lots of good stuff to enjoy).

I also know a guy who owns a meadery who’s actively peddling their wares in the con space, so be sure to check out any viking longships you see docked nearby…worth a look.

I’ve always enjoyed this particular adventure – I hope the tradition continues!
