        Fun ones we've done at other cons out of state but just not here recently are things like the Songwriting Sweatshop (a subject is given, and the panel writes a song in the hour or two hours given); Filk in a Bag (ideas are put into a bag, are drawn out, and songs are played from the repetoires of the performers); Cover circle (people do other people's songs, preferably those who are in the room).

        If there's a concert slot open, I would like one. The Performer's Circle sounds interesting, too.

        I should be getting my membership in shortly. Thanks for the tip on the memberships selling out.
