sushi and high tea update

To those who are going to GAFilk this weekend, especially Jodi: have fun! I was the first Supporting Member this year. Not nearly as exciting as actually being able to attend, of course, but I'll take what I can get. I'm hoping to go next year; I've heard such great things about this filk convention. This year, Bob Asprin in Guest of Honor, Sherman Dorn is Toastmaster, Jeff Hitchin is Interfilk Guest.

Update re: Urban Tapestry's upcoming CD, "Sushi and High Tea":

As most of you already know, we're planning to release a new CD this fall, which will consist of tracks recorded live at Consonance, Conchord, and Didgeri-Douze when we were Guests of Honor. The playlist (may change slightly): Amanda, Another Story, Battle On, Dark Is Rising, Friendship Song, Homecoming, I Am Stardust, Monday, My Jalapeno Man, Neurotic Love Song, Star Sisters, Truth Is Out There, Waiting For Frodo.

I talked to Bill Roper (Dodeka Records) yesterday afternoon to sort out some CD specs. We're going to be including all the lyrics to the songs in our liner notes this time. I've volunteered to do the layout of the insert, and will probably be including some little cartoons. Beckett Gladney is doing the cover (yay!).

Today's Blatherpics:

Ginny gave the family Oasis, jackets as gifts at Christmas. Even the kids got little Oasis jackets, but they were too Christmas-hyped to pose for the photo. From left to right: JBR, Jeff, Debbie, me, Case. Yes, it gets somewhat confusing with two Debbies in the family. One Christmas, for example, someone drew my name for gifts, but inadvertently bought them all for the other Debbie. :-)
