I'm not going to ConCertino this weekend; everyone who does go has to have a good time and make sure my share of the fun doesn't go to waste.
The primary reason is lack of funds, amplified by a bit of a bad spell body-wise this week which a) got in the way of my trying to find a workaround for the lack of funds and b) has me feeling a bit drained-feeling to be enthusiastic about travel right now. I'm always bummed to miss the floating regional filk convention, and this time it's not even because of a conflicting gig to distract me ... but between my finances and my health, these things happen. I hope nobody was counting on borrowing something from the Wall Of Instruments; if so, I apologize.
Yeah, I'd been looking forward to the convention for a year, but I pretty much saw this coming from a couple weeks away, so I've had some time to get the anti-sulking defenses in place. I'll just try that much harder to get to the next one (and to actually have some new songs to perform by then). What city has the honour next year?
In the meantime, it's not as though I lack important and overdue things on my to-do list if my energy level improves over the weekend (as I'm hoping it will).
And maybe one of these years I'll finally manage to make it to OVFF and/or FKO, which I've been wanting to get to for about ten years.

If you have the time and energy tomorrow evening, come out and visit! We haven't seen you in far too long... (People are driving out from B'more, so you may be able to get a ride too...)

So far this weekend's being a bit frustrating too, but I haven't completely given up on doing something this afternoon, if I can get a little more sleep this morning.

Next year is your neck of the woods again. Conterpoint, at the Woodfin Suites Hotel.. in Rockville, I believe.
FKO in 2007 will have the n'Early Music Consort as their guest, a 12+ member filk choir from England.. and OVFF in 2006 will have the following guests: Guest of Honor: Dr. Mary Crowell, Toastmaster: Paul Kwinn, Honored Listener: Judi Miller, Interfilk Guest: Tony Fabris.
I hope your energy returns soon.
