Kennita: Will there be recordings available [Answer is yes: Festival of the Living Room FaceBook page and possible YouTube] Howierd Had and ECG today. Looked like he was getting a sonogram of his heart. Could see all the sound-waves and what-not, was fun. Apparently he has a heart, and it seems to be working moderately well. Gerald: Another virttual convention next week: Marscon. He’ll be there. marscon.org/2021/ <http://marscon.org/2021/> Reviews Yochanan His nephew Jeremiah attended VancouFur and really enjoyed it. Great to see the next gen enjoying fandom. Sold his first art commission! vancoufur.org <http://vancoufur.org/> Rasputins on Bascom has a book section. It’s gotten better over the years. Picked up a couple of books for better than half-priced. Saw the conclusion to WandaVision. Intense. JohnO: Watched it. Good wrap-up. People who were confused, will continue to be confused. Final reveal was perfect. Rick: Everything wrapped up well. Themes executed well in the end. Not for straightforward story people. Lisa: Perfect in how it deals with grief. Lisa Nonsonance: Enjoyable. Lot of good groups. Open circles went to 3 a..m! This year the convention was pure Zoom, worked much better than last time (YouTube and Zoom). International guests that wouldn’t be able to make it live were there. Good filk con. Howierd: Lots of people, sometimes locking him out. Audio levels all over the map, bothered him (as it’s a music fest). Hour blocks are great in person, but for pre-set setups was a little too much. Lynn: Interesting running it this way. Some sound-checks were not able to be done. Some slots were 30, other were 60 min (determined by the programing department). Groups could also perform by edited video (she had to learn FinalCut Pro fast!) JohnO: Enjoyed to concerts (played while working in the yard!) JohnO A YouTuber, Punished Props Academy (punishedprops.com <http://punishedprops.com/>), has been doing Highlander props recently, and - coincidentally - John just watched Highlander on Friday. Holds up after 35 years. FX don’t, but they weren’t cutting edge even then! Interesting watching it through the lens of having watched the rest of the movies and the TV series. Recommend, worth while. Also discovered there were more films that he hadn’t seen. Ken: I went with the idea of “There can only be one…” and stopped with the first film. Rick: Agreed. Craig: Morning Stream Podcast (frogpants.com/tms <http://frogpants.com/tms>) One of their regular guests is from Punished Props Academy. Rumor of the Week: Consonance lives, and still sounds great. Adjourned at: 21:49
