OVFF 24

[hms42]

Home from OVFF. Good visit to Ohio. I am going back again next year. I ended up with a lot of CDs (most being relayed to a filk dealer @ Philcon.) My collection has a number of new CDs (and 5 cassette tapes including a couple I only previously had mp3s.) I ended up assisting all weekend with the sound crew. Fuzzyvanman was great to work with again. I am glad I was able to assist him out by mic wrangling. (yes, I am back next year to do the same over all 4 days.)

Pegasus awards were wonderful. Congratulations to all of the winners.

It was nice to put faces to the names I have been talking to on here for a while. Concerts (and one/two shots were wonderful.)

A CD I put together for Contata 18 (2008) was donated to interfilk since I can't sell them and raised over $300. (I think the number was $325.) my jaw dropped when it cracked $200. I still have a few copies I owe for thank you copies (many were delivered over the weekend, so I am happy. The remaining to be delivered copies is down to 3 copies. (2 for replacement/problems with disc (one had an empty case!) and one more contributor copy.))

CDs released @ OVFF (or fairly new (aka since Worldcon in Denver)) -

Jeff & Maya Bohnoff - Mobius Strip
Graham Leathers - Bears All (this was out pre-worldcon, but I am not sure when in 2008 it released)
Randy Hoffman (featuring Kira Heston) - More Vocals in the MOnitors
OVFF GOHs - Tim and Anne Walker/Wilderwood - Dancing Through The Past
Juliana McCorison - Not Just Lullabies from Planet Earth
Paul Estin - Mind the Stopgap (CD-R released @ ConChord when he was an interfilk guest). He numbers his CDs and #42 was donated to interfilk.

Reprinted - BOTH Duras Sisters CDs with 2 extra tracks on each CD. (4 new songs - Live recordings.)

And a fundraiser for Duckon -

DVD video (not audio) - Live from Duckon 16 - In Concert Murray Porath, Frank Hayes and Michael Longcor. (2007 Duckon)
DVD Video (not an audio CD) - Acoustic Vs Electric (parody of the apple Mac/PC commercials) About an hour in length, from Duckon 2008. (I don't have the details off hand, but I believe its Rand and Adam English from Ookla the Mok.)

Time for me to head to bed. I have to work in the morning.

Bears All was released at Consonance last year when Graham & Becca were the GOHs.

Nice to see you again!

Ok... Its new to the east coast.

"DVD video (not audio)"

Does that word not mean what I think it means? A silent concert DVD would be an odd thing.

[hms42]

I did say I was tired from the con. The DVDs do have audio and I was meaning that they are DVDs and not audio CDs.

I will have a LIMITED number at Philcon of the Porath/Hayes/Longcor DVD @ Philcon. (I am going to see if I can arrange for copies of the other DVD and a few more copies (since I had someone get a copy from me already) of the one I do have.). (Along with info on the 2nd DVD.)

Good to have finally met you. Hope to see you at next year's OVFF.

[hms42]

I already have a membership. With that guest list, I would not miss it. (I'll post it over in filk (along with a repost of the CD list) in the next couple of days if someone else doesn't do it.)

Thanks for buying my CD. It released Oct 4 at VCon 2008.

It was good to meet you and now I know who I'm talking about next time I mention your name! I hope you enjoy the Cd - I've written to Kathy and have a box ready to ship to her.

If you have a problem reaching Kathy, let me know so I can call her and ask her to get back to you. I just need to find the time to complete listening to your CD. (Too many family computer problems over the past week.)

I wrote to her and it bounced on security so I filled in the forms and have sent it again.

I'm in the US today and have a small box of CD's ready to send her tonight or tomorrow morning but have no address or confirmation...

It's much easier and cheaper from the US as it avoids her having to pay duty.
