hms42Now that I am home from Contata (and backing up the recordings from the digital recorders running @ the con.)
Contata 2008 - a project that has been at least 2 years in the making. (I have been a member of the Concom since I heard about the planning meeting @ Concertino 2006 which I was attending.) We ran this past weekend. It was great. I was behind the sound desk (and on the stage setting up microphones and running between rooms checking/changing the digital recorders) all weekend. When I did actually get a chance to sit down and listen to everyone (I think there was about 2-3 points during the weekend and during part of the dead dog.), it sounded great.
The sound team who jumped in and helped out and did an excellent and commendable job (AND DESERVE A LOT OF CREDIT!!!!!) were http://jslove.livejournal.com/, Joe Kessleman and from England, http://fleetfootmike.livejournal.com/ (was on his 2 con tour due to a work conference in Chicago during the week between cons). THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!!! You did a great job and deserve a standing ovation and a round of applause!
I can confirm the con was recorded in all 3 rooms for most of the convention (dead dog/open filks might have had a song missed when equipment changes were occurring).
The few concerts I actually DID hear (and not ran around like a headless chicken) were great. The Tom Smith Tribute was wonderful and had lots of songs (including a wonderful 5 part harmony on Falling Free.). I will be posting into the filk LJ what the song list for the concert was in the near future.
LadyMondegreen ran a great con and was an invaluable help in getting out the housefilk sampler CD. Thank you for doing that. To answer the obvious - yes to sound crew for 2011. I will do it again. (Can you get me the same crew again? They were GREAT and were wonderful to work with.)
