The concerts were all excellent. I think mine went okay overall, although at one point one of the MIDI files suddenly started playing garbage. I told Stoph to stop and restart the file, and that seemed to fix it. I can only guess there may have been a power spike or something, as I've used this MIDI file many times before ("Poetry's Greatest Hits"). I had also tightened up "Poetry's Greatest Hits, Volume II" and improved parts before the concert, cutting out parts that slowed the pacing, and it worked like a champ.
Saturday I worked at the station, then went to the con.
I wound up leaving about halfway through Puzzlebox's concert because I was T-I-R-E-D and had to be at work at 9am.
After my Sunday shift I went back to the con, met up with a couple of friends and did dinner at an Ethiopian place in Campbell, then went back to the con and caught as much of the concerts as I was up to. I wanted to catch Lee Martindale's concert anyway because I had never heard her before; she was also borrowing my 12-string, but that was less important. She turned out to be very good.

Today I went to the station, did my air shift, walked into a few walls and tables, helped out with the computers in the studio (which were all going wonky on Bud Kelly), and then went home. Warren and I brunched at the Original Pancake House in San Jose where I indulged in my last meal of "fruit with skin" till after Thursday (cherry-stuffed crepes). Mmmm. We then shopped (I was nearly out of milk), and then I crashed...till now.
I think Warren went to church. The garage door is opening now, and the dog is barking as she only does when he pulls in. :-)
