Lemmingness, and con squeeage

( off by 5 years )

MidSouth Con is coming. Yeah, there's some big names. And if you look under "Other Guests" and the "Other" category, I'm there. "Lady Angel"

We have to come up with about $80 even tho' I'm comped: Bunny's entry fee, 2 Banquet tickets, and $16 in art show fees (1/2 panel, 1/2 table) It looks like such FUN! At least it's only 1/2 an hour away so I can commute.

Anyone want to make it more fun? It's a kid-friendly con, and very media oriented. Lots of men involved (which is weirding me right out). My panels are on Librarians and Speculative fiction and Paranormal Romance/Erotica

There's an art auction, a masquerade (Bunny will either do Narcissa again, or we'll have Galadriel ready), gaming (incluyding LARPS), a blood drive and lots and lots of videos and anime. I asked about fanvids.


I just lost a tussle with the printer and came out looking like a chimney sweep. There was toner on my glasses for cryin' out loud!

Thinking random vid thoughts

1) Would making a Blade Runner vid focusing on Roy Batty be entirely too meta if I use "When you wish upon a Star?" Would anyone make the meta level connections of Pinnochio-> real boy:: Roy Batty-> Human? Or would I just get laughed and derided for poor song choice? Would the song lend itself to the automatic assumption of a humor vid?

2) Still hunting a Starbuck/Apollo song. Still not finding anything. For slashy music, 1978 sucked. "Glory of Love" by Peter Cetera might work. I keep getting an image of Apollo in the pure white uniform to the line "Like a knight in shining armor, from a long time ago"
But it's such a generic love song, and I am unsure if I promised it to any other boys.

3) Still wrestling "The Gallows" and "Wind's Four Quarters" into submission for Escapade. With mixed success.

4) "This One's for the Girls" will be a great adult vid, if I can ever get it organized. Nekkid SW boys, yay! (I was going to use the bit where JarJar jumps into the lake, followed by the bit from Nell where Neeson goes skinny dipping, but i remembered he has short hair and no beard in Nell. Bummer) Actually, I suspect it's a dumb idea. No point, no story, just drooling and nekkidness.
