The Jury Is Out...

...and I appear to have bombed.

I tried something different at ConChord for my concert. Instead of futzing with my guitar, I tried using the synth for all my numbers and using props and dancing around.

I thought it worked.

If the con reports of ConChord are any indication, it didn't.

In Debbie Ridpath Ohi's Blatherings I'm only mentioned by name (you know the bit: "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything") and in David Okamura's ConChord report on rec.music.filk I'm notably not mentioned at all (same thing).

Okay folks -- from those of you who saw it or heard about it, what am I doing that sucks so bad? Please! I can't improve my act if I don't get feedback!

Lynn:

I don't know if this means anything or not, but I sort of understand where you're coming from. I don't want to sound whiny or anything, but aside from you nobody even mentioned my hosting job for the Totally Tasteless. Maybe most people brush it off or whatever, but given the fact that I spent $ on the costume and makeup, and quite a bit of time and energy to make the concert more interesting, I thought that even an acknowledgement or two would be in order. Not even a verbal recognition from the con com at the end of it. Even if people thought I sucked and never want to see me with horns again, just let me know. I'm not angry or anything, but unless asked, I'm not going to bother again.

Sigh. You soooo kicked ass as TTTR host. I hope you'll do it again. Better yet, I hope they'll ask you to do it again. We hadn't had that level of theatrics since Chrys Thorsen directed Quentin Long.
