Norwescon!

[tfabris]

The concerts at Norwescon were awesome! Everyone came, the rooms were packed, every person in the crowd was awesome. Thank you so much, everyone! You made it special.

Playing purely acoustically (no sound system) for our evening set felt a little unusual, but it was strangely liberating and fun. I hope everyone could hear us OK. Sooj and Betsy played fantastically. Does anyone have (more) pics or videos?

I got some of the acoustic concert, and ladyallyn got about 500 (not kidding) of the Palimpsest set... if I don't post up in a couple of days, poke me.

And, yes, you guys did *wonderfully* purely acoustically. The two bits that stick out in my mind nearly 24 hours later were Betsy's solo on the bridge to "Emerald Green"... and "'39"... I think the harmony on the chorus actually sounded *better* unmiked.

Definitely, for the record, a Top Five concert for you guys....

It was made of awesome. I kinda fangirled at Vixy about it.

Remind me and we will get you the shots K took with my camera Friday night.
Thank you for an intense, gorgeous, musical weekend.

Thank *you* for being a part of it all, and for letting us be a part of it all.

It was pretty awesome! Though yeah the room was pretty packed for the "Vixy & Tony" concert... Next year, more room!!!

Are you guys coming down to SoCal any time soon? :)

(Oh yeah I was the guy with the concertina... I loves my concertina, but it's not as loud as I'd like. )

Thanks!

Yeah, the room was overpacked with fans, making it too hot and too crowded. I was quite disappointed to see that the following day, it had been turned into the much larger double-room with an actual stage. In fact, having been at Norwescon before, it was what I'd expected to see when I arrived, and was a little taken aback to find ourselves crammed into a tiny panel space.

It was made even more disappointing when I found out that Little Knight Music was cancelled and the big double-room with the stage didn't even get used at all for a concert on Saturday.

If they want us back next year, I'm going to make that one of our preconditions: At least a double room and a stage. Or maybe it's time for us to graduate to the ballroom and sound system...

[dieppe.livejournal.com]

I would have expected the room to be opened up to both rooms myself. It's a shame that you're so popular! I mean... uh... It's GOOD!

I think the double-room and the stage would have been perfect. It's like you want the room full, but not too full. IMHO the ballroom/soundsystem is just too large to really feel intimate. Speaking as an audience member I like closeness rather than the stadium feel, if that makes sense?

Just my 2 cents. I thought ya'll did well and I did get 2 CDs from the dealers room! :)

(And the Joss Whedon Sing-along had both rooms and the stage too.. so.. ?!?!? )

Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy the CDs!

Awesome concert! You guys always put on such amazingly fantastic shows :D

I took a video of your performance of "Mal's Song." Is it okay if I post the vid on YouTube? I'd be happy to post the link here when it's up.

[tfabris.livejournal.com]

Yes absolutely! Thanks very much!!

I really should have watched the video before opening my mouth (or LiveJournal). Apparently, I can adjust the sensitivity of my camera's microphone. It was turned all the way up for the show, and so - while one can see you and Vixy quite clearly - all one can hear are the voices of the people sitting around me (and myself) as we sang along. I'm really sorry. I'll be posting pictures tomorrow, though.

Guess I'll just have to go to Orycon and record some of your songs there.

[tfabris.livejournal.com]

Heh. That's not your camera's fault. That's just the nature of taking video from the audience during that particular song. :-)
