Holly, please don't let plans to capture the occasion get in the way if they would hinder your ability to attend! If you can be there by tethering your computer to your mobile (or even with two tins and a string), forget about the video...just be there if you can! That said. . .if anyone else has capture capability, having multiple vids would not be a tragedy. I'm sure there are many folks who either cannot be there or will learn of it later and wish they had been.

I will be streaming it, and the video will be downloadable, but will have the typical stuff on screen like location, who is on stage, and the rolling up coming music updates that I do on screen for MaestroTV if that will also work. It will be recorded, so that will not be an issue it helps.

[Lhinnthel]

unfortunately, I don't see it in our lists Any other suggestions?

[Aedon Durreah]

John Lennon's song Woman. Not sure if we even have the music. Tam used to stand with Animal House and sing it to Tearna. Always to make me smile big time.

Woman, I can hardly express,
My mixed emotion at my thoughtlessness,
After all I'm forever in your debt,

And woman, I will try to express,
My inner feelings and thankfulness,
For showing me the meaning of success,
Ooh, well, well,
Ooh, well, well,

Woman, I know you understand
The little child inside the man,
Please remember my life is in your hands,

And, woman, hold me close to your heart,
However distant don't keep us apart,
After all it is written in the stars,
Ooh, well, well,
Ooh, well, well,

Woman, please let me explain,
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain,
So let me tell you again and again and again,

I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah).

Also, I'm sorry but I'm not sure which song "Woman" is referring to on the setlist? Someone please help!

[Lhinnthel]

I think we should keep it in as an instrumental, then. I know Tam used to sing it but you are right.. we don't want to shock his sister too badly!!

[Carica]

Yeahhhhh no, I don't think Keelhauled is really fit for tonight's show. Fun for pirate day or ATX, but for today it would be bad taste. If we decide to keep it, it would require a complete overhaul of the lyrics to something different, or just play the music alone without lyrics.
The second verse of the original lyrics go:

[Lhinnthel]

I'll get to work on it, then! I can sing Durin and Bullroarer, if needed. If there were any other song suggestions and I missed them, please chime in folks :)

[Byrcha]

I'm at work for another hour still. Setlist is still a work in progress! Glad to hear you'll be there, Lhinn! :) Please add songs and we'll figure it out soon(tm).

[Lhinnthel]

I'm home and have internet! Byrcha, which of the listed songs are you planning for the opener? I can get teh dance set going, unless you have it all done already!

The setlist is on the usual sign-up sheet - it just isn't finished yet :)

Question because I can't remember: Does A&T/server time follow DST changes and still at 9:30PM EST or is it an hour earlier (same time UTC)?

[Tearna Quickfoot]

Some thoughts...

1. Eilye... When we hosted, I always opened it with a welcome to our guests. I think that works here and I've already prepared an opening script... complete with a handoff to Old Winyards at the end.

2. Flexibility, an area where I know you all are wonderful! Wicked was managing okay last night in the kinhouse, but that was minus the 50 or so people that are likely to be there... all dancing and doing things to slow his laptop down. haha

He was going to try and get more RAM today to help that.. but with no way to test how laggy he will be... I suggested that we might let people speak between songs while AH was loading and setting up the next song. That is only IF needed, which we won't really know until they play.

In my intro, I've asked folks who want to share to whisper (??? who is backstage? Aedon??? ) to get on the list. Should we find this is necessary, it shouldn't be hard to just let someone know, you are up after this song ends.


3. Wicked Idea: Some of the tunes AH will play, won't have anyone singing the lyrics. It would just be odd for Tearna to sing them. haha Wicked suggested that perhaps during some of those you could have someone up to share, especially if you have someone you know is going to go a little long? Just an idea. Not sure how well that would work given folks will be dancing. But I toss it out there. :)

4. Kaerri - I don't know that Tam had a favorite. He loved them all! He loved the interaction in them. Tell Dannigan to pick which ever is his favorite. Unless OW folks have a favorite they'd like to suggest.

5. I plan to be there by 8:30. I'll be in teamspeak with Animal House to coordinate with them... and probably should be in raid with OW to coordinate there.

However, Tam's sister is coming... she will be on his character Brenna. She is not a gamer and is very lost in "our world" haha. She has trouble doing anything but walking straight ahead. So, I may need to group with her to make it easier for her to talk to me if needed. Not sure how that will play out or when she will arrive. Given she's on the west coast, sometimes 9:30 is early for them so not thinking she will show up too early.


Thank you all.. you are so wonderful. Tam was an ardent believer in LMB and far apart, never alone. And with good reason. *hugs*

[Carica]

I have the original lyrics to Keelhauled but it's not very OW friendly...
Maybe I can edit it a bit.
