In case anyone is wondering, my tune "Pistolero" is specifically a Pathfinder song. It's all about the Gunslinger class. Whee!
That said, I'd love to meet the rest of the contestants. Songwriting slam session in the RAM pub, anyone?
I ain't heard you on here singin' and playin' yet...What, Darren and I don't count?

Heck yeah! My brother works GenCon most years (in the auction) and he's been after me to go - this would probably get me there.
Of course, we could always do songwriting challenges in another venue, like, this forum, or something. No travel costs that way.
It's a pub (duh!) a block or two from the convention centre. In past years they've gone all-in on GenCon e.g. decorating the pub, producing a GenCon beer and mug, etc., and they let people game there.What is the RAM pub?
The times I've been I've always made sure to arrive on Tuesday afternoon; that gives time to unpack, get the lay of the land, find out where things are, etc., and the pubs aren't that busy Tuesday. Wednesday there's lots of unofficial stuff to do (along with picking up badges which can wipe out the afternoon, though I hear it was much better in 2012); then Thursday to Sunday is go time.I've been to GENCON only once in 2008, and my husband and I day-tripped there two days in a row. This coming year we are planning to go again. And we want to attend the entire time and actually stay in the room block and such.
I've never done a filk convention, mostly because until now I didn't realize such things existed.I would love to meet you and the other song writers! I know Gary McGath, Scott Snyder, and S00J from various filk and general science fiction conventions.
I LOVE Typhena's Men. Great voice. Love the rolling R's. And the voice carries the song much more than the background instruments. I picture a bard in the world of D&D paying homage to this group of heroes which obviously was based off a campaign. I think it's epic! Great work! I think it epitomizes this contest IMHO.
