Though some of y'all will be on your way to Philcon this afternoon, let me take a moment to look ahead a week to Darkover...
There will be two dances at Darkover with live music provided by pick-up bands. I'm recruiting folks for those bands. There will be a Playford dance on Friday and a Regency Ball on Saturday. Musicians, if you're going to be attending Darkover and are up to reading dance tunes without much rehearsal, give me a shout and I'll tell you where to download sheet music (we'll be adding two tunes to the Regency ball music from last year). Also, let me know which dance(s) you plan to play for so I'll have some idea how much I have to worry about getting enough musicians.
(There are two websites for the convention, http://darkovercon.com and http://darkovercon.org/. Where the two sites disagree, I'm not sure which is correct.)
The Playford dance will be Friday, 24 November, from 4PM to 6PM. Unsurprisingly, that's the one I'm most worried about getting enough musicians for. The Regency dance will be on Saturday, 25 November, from 5PM to 7PM (again, if the web info is right).
Also, The Homespun
Ceilidh Band will be performing at the convention, as will

You know I'll be at the con. Too much set-up stuff to be able to deal with anything else Friday. Saturday is a go.

You may have noticed that I recently acquired an appropriate instrument to play in a dance band. It's on its way; if it arrives, I can bring it to Darkover and play one or both dances (also depends on family, logistics, and family logistics :-)
Also: Should I bring you a batch o' boxen? And what's the lowest level processor you care to run these days? I have everything down to P1s that I've been holding. This seems like a possible opportunity to get them to you so you can actually use them.

Regency: will it be in the same room as last year? The wacky temperatures in that room would probably kill my tuning half an hour in, but I could always bring the bag of percussion, if that wouldn't be overly redundant. You seemed to like what I was doing with that last year.
