After several months I saw the Funday Pawpet Show again. Folks, you really are the masters of pawpet improv!
As skunki's friends list and mine are slightly disjunctive and to spread the word, here it is again: the link to the article at sueddeutsche.de about 2 the Ranting Gryphon (German language.) Sueddeutsche.de is the online edition of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of Germany's most renowned daily newspapers.The author praises 2's style to be comparable with Woody Allen's and David Byrne's. The live recording was filmed at Eurofurence 12, by the way.
...look and see, if there's a letter for me... and put it into my f*cking mailbox, dammit.
I just came back from a concert of the a cappella band Wise Guys. What a band, what an audience, what a concert! Many songs from the current album, some new for the next album and some old ones, and a performance getting better with each concert. This was the second best concert of the year so far — sorry guys, you cannot top the Fauna Project concert, even though you come damn close... (That's meant as a compliment!)
This year was already a great convention year. Starting with a very good Further Confusion in January, continued by the small Herbstcon Sproing! (Herbstcon Spring Edition) meeting, followed by a very relaxing Mephit Mini Con and my first Anthrocon. The latter was unique, due to being able to build a bridge between the business atmosphere of most large fantasy conventions and the laid-back atmosphere of a furry convention. It was really, really hard to top all these excellent moments I had so far.
Best party ever. We drank up the hotel bar. Twice. We ate up the steak house. Completely. Not a single piece of meat left. Lots of work, excellent atmosphere, great hotel, superb hotel staff. Loved the Fauna Project concert, loved the Alec concert, the pawpet show was a roaring success, great press coverage, cool dead dog party. More later, need some sleep.
And all I can think about is OMG, what have I got myself into again?! I don't have that much to do this year, and still the car will be full. I need a larger car.
Wär doch furchtbar, wenn man seinen Lebensunterhalt nur mit Dingen verdienen könnte, die eigentlich Scheiße sind.
