Other Schedules:
7:30PM-10PM Tom Smith - GS2-5
Fandom's Fastest Filker will entertain you with song and story. Turkey awards will be awarded at intermission. Bonus: if we collect enough money for our charity, Tom will write a song based on audience suggestion! See the "Chairity" auction in the art show for details on how to donate, and also to place a bid for comfy front row seating!
2PM-3PM Creepy/Funny Songs Circle
Start the weekend off with a scare, as our music GoH (Tom Smith) and Batya Wittenberg lead off an open roundtable of songs that will make you laugh or shiver--maybe even at the same time!
3PM-4PM Performance: Sarah Pinsker
4PM-5PM Performance: Maugorn the Stray
5PM-6PM Performance: Glen Raphael
6PM-7PM Workshop: Bellydancing. Why Are You Dragging My Butt Into This?
It's called 'belly dance; what does my butt have to do with it? A focus on that big group of muscles that is our backside, and why using that group is so important.
9PM-? Bardic Circle
Join us for an open sharing circle of music, poetry, story and song. At other conventions, this might be called a "filk sing", but here at Chessiecon, we like to be a little different. Depending on the mood of the circle, it might be a "strict bardic" -- or it might be substantially more chaotic.
11AM-Noon Performance: Roberta Rogow
1PM-2PM Jam Workshop, leading into the Instrumental Jam
Join us for an informal short workshop on how to participate in a jam. This workshop will be followed by...a jam!
2PM-3PM Instrumental Jam
A mostly insturmental jam lead by our own Bob Esty, and likely some other lovely guests. Bring an insturment if you have one--maybe three, because you're going to want to play along.
