home from Boskone
Feb. 19th, 2013 01:22 amI am home from Boskone. It was a good convention. Lots of friends, a few new ones. I got to see concerts by people I just saw a few weeks ago in Seattle. (And they are not from that area, either.)
Heather Dale and Ben Deschamps were excellent, like normal. A new story or two was told for some of the songs and Heather did a cover of a found filk that was beamed down from the ISS. Here's the original - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvAnfi8WpVE and Heather's cover that she put on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/heatherdalemusic. (Sorry, I don't have permission to share Saturday's cover with Ben.)
As for the other concerts during the weekend, they were all great. (More when I am not tired.)
I also took advantage of the trip to work a little on the filk audio archive in the area. (Spencer's). While tapes did not get converted this time, I did get my web page to change hosting providers and I did get the liner notes for 2 previously unknown "Distributed By Wail Songs" tapes. (The j-card's text is now digital.) "Windsinger" and "A Hitch In Time".
Next challenges - Updating my web page for the first time since 2009 and get started on the Conterpoint 2013 CDs. (The convention all member CD and the 1993 Conterpoint CD which will be releasing at the con.)
