Update and CD available from Floating Filk Studios

[hms42]

Wow! I am actually using this for a change... Its time for the once a year post.. :)

Best way to reach me is still via email.

I released a CD for Roberta Rogow back in August and NEVER advertised it online beyond emails to the dealers. Today, I came across a posting for people to advertise CDs and I finally got around to advertising Roberta's CD. I posted this in Filk, FilkNews and rec.music.filk.

Ok. Time for me to finish updating the web page files. (2 songs (combined intro and music) are going up, updates to the recording locations on about page and a listing of KNOWN usage of my recordings. (Conterpoint 2007 Songbook CD, 2 FuMP songs, Dr. Seti's new CD.))

I think (though I may be completely crazy) that I spoke to you at Philcon and you said if I emailed you you'd tell me when and where the next NYC-area housefilk was. And then, of course, I lost whatever I wrote your email address down on. But could you still?

Unfortunately, I am writing from the next NYC filk sing.

I have not heard when the next one is yet, but will reply. I wish I had seen your message a few hours ago.

It's okay -- I thought I remembered it having been this weekend, and would've been too busy this weekend to go anyway. Please do tell me when the next one is, though! Thanks!

NYC Housefilk

The next one is TENTATIVELY (watch Filk, FilkNews for confirmation and location/contact info) the first weekend in February. The location will be in Queens, this time, vs Jersey (about a 3 block walk from the PATH). Definately worth hearing the music and seeing the local crowd.

Also, Contata is in June (http://www.contata.org). Local filk CONVENTION. Everyone comes to us this time.

I don't see any updates in the relevant communities. Did it fizzle, or get rescheduled? Or should I just be patient? (:

Re: NYC Housefilk

I spoke with people over the weekend @ Arisia (not the person hosting this time).

They agreed with me on the tentative date being set in Dec. I will email prompt the hosts and the Contata Conchair for more info and hopeful posting. Watch filk and filknews for info.

Do you know about Contata http://www.contata.org next month?

[crystalpyramid]

Yes. Although I'll miss it due to being out of town. Thanks, though!
