Your Tentative Norwescon 34 Filk/Music Programming Grid

[solarbird]

This is NOT officially final, but it won't change if we can help it, other than the one unconfirmed event on Sunday either filling in with details or going away. Enjoy:

We have an entirely new concert night, expanding into Thursday. It's experimental and I hope people turn out to support it! We have several performers at Norwescon for the first time ever, such as Electric Children, Leannan Sidhe, Fighter X, Starlight, and The Heather Dale Band, who we really want to thank for coming in all the way from Ontario on their own dime. PRAISE THEM! XD

This year's experimental panel is Cascadia's Got Talent!, which we thought about calling Cascadia's Got a Gong Show!, and to be honest the intent a lot more like the latter than the former. BRING YOUR WEIRD TALENTS! SHOW THEM TO US!

Also, I'm hoping people will treat this as an open mic, since I haven't managed to wedge in a two-by-tens panel. If you have a new song to try out or you just want some audience time, this is also your panel. Please join in! Don't worry, we won't gong people who aren't asking for it.

Oh, and does anybody have a biiiiig gong we can borrow? 'Cause I want one. XD

Assuming the unconfirmed item on Sunday happens, we've expanded to 25 hours of music programming, not counting overnight open filk. (Without it, it's still an expansion, at 24.) Daily programming begins at 11am, in general; there's a lunch break at 1pm; your dinner break is at 6pm. There's a bit of a time off on Saturday for everyone wanting to go to the art show, dealer room, things like that. We tried to keep everything physically closer together this time, and mostly succeeded, tho' not completely.

I'm getting excited. Are you getting excited?

I have a blaster pistol barrel sitting next to the bathroom sink, I have brass plates stacked on the dining room table next to insect wing simulants, and I have the severed head of Princess Leia on a mic stand in the upstairs studio. And several new leatherworking and metalworking techniques to master between now and then.
So yes. :D And, I might even make it to the Vixy and Tony show, since it's in the evening. Thank you for that! ^-^

Evening concerts are the way to go as far as I'm concerned. I hope you can make it! ^_^

If the masquerade judging doesn't last over two hours this year, I'll be there in blueskin.

woooooooo! \o/

Just remember not to hall costume it before the masquerade. They don't always spell that out clearly enough in the rules, and somebody got bit by that two years ago. (And it was just as much a surprise to me as anybody else. I don't understand the point of that rule at. all. I ran her photo in the newsletter.)

I remember seeing that on the NWC livejournal community. Damn shame of them, not to make sure everyone was on the same page. This year's rules say "It is recommended that you not wear your costume prior to competing."
I wonder what their opinion is if I wear the costume down to the greenroom. I could wear a cloak and sneak down, I suppose. "Be vewwy vewwy qwiet, I'm hunting cospwayers!"
