This Cake Is So Delicious And Moist

Will Write For Chocolate has been updated. Someone recently asked about the face on Sven's t-shirt, so I posted my answer in my WWFC blog but will re-post it here in case any of you are wondering as well:

"In case you missed my post about it some time ago and were wondering about Sven's t-shirt, the face belongs to Chris Conway, a musician friend of mine in the UK. I play flute on one of his CDs, in fact. You can hear my flute if you go to Chris's MySpace page and click on "Alien Jellyfish" (last song listed in his playlist). :-) My music partners, Allison Durno and Jodi Krangle, are singing backup for Chris on the song."

Here's the original photo, which I took when Chris was performing at GAfilk in 2004:



And here's me in fangirl mode in Germany (when Urban Tapestry were guests at Filkcontinental), wearing Chris on my chest:



Speaking of Urban Tapestry, we had a great practice last night. We've pretty much nailed down our playlist for our concert at Balticon (Baltimore, MD). One of the new songs we'll be doing is "Still Alive," a song written by Jonathan Coulton and is probably familiar to those of you who have played Portal.

I'm thinking about doing props. Any suggestions (other than the obvious cake) for what I could put on the signs I'll be holding up? If you need the lyrics as a reminder, you can find them at the bottom of Jonathan Coulton's post about the song.

Thanks to Ryan Couldrey for pointing me to this Jonathan Coulton video where he performs the song:



I've been impatiently waiting, by the way, for Ryan to start selling his Ninja Dolls! I *so* want one.

1-900-NERD-GIRL: Highly amusing, at least if you're a nerd. Thanks to Jeff for pointing me to the video :-)
