Norwescon is two (2!) weeks away and that means it’s time for nwcMUSIC and THE BIG BIG BIG BIG GRID!

It’s a BIGGER GRID than it’s ever been because it’s a BIGGER SHOW! Starting with the return of THE BIG SHOW on Saturday, this time, Saturday night – there are a lot of daytime shows this year, which will hopefully make it easier for everybody.
PLUS! The return of longtime favourite ALEXANDER JAMES ADAMS, here as part of his Canticles tour, with the whole Canticles crew. We have newcomers CELT CHECK and DOGWOOD and NATHANIEL JOHNSTONE with returning favourites like SHUBZILLA (fresh from her smash shows at SXSW) – and KADESH FLOW and longtime HEROES OF FILK favourites VIXY & TONY and BETSY TINNEY and new geekmusic favourites like The PDX Broadsides.
It’s a BIG BIG BIG BIG SHOW!
Daytime programming is back too, with sing-a-longs and how-to panels and meetups and MAD LIBS FILK, making its first return to Daytime since, oh gosh, nwcMUSIC 2012? It’s been a while but there’s room for everything at THE BIG SHOW!
Do I have panels? OF COURSE I HAVE PANELS! It wouldn’t be BIG! if I didn’t have panels. On Thursday, I’m moderating Home Recording I, with Alexander James Adams. On Saturday, I’m with Jonny Nero Action Hero, Alec again, and Stephanie Weippert on “How Big a Fish Do You Need To Be?”, with Jessica F. Herbert of PDX Broadsides on “Songwriting 101”, and “Find Your Instrument” with, oh, probably everybody.
That’s usually how that panel works
Then Sunday, it’s Christian Lipski (PDX Broadsides), Alec, and me up for “Home Recording II: Even More Homerecordinger.” It’s BIG EDUCATION to close out THE BIG SHOW. You’ll be there, of course.
I may bring a secret project. Excuse me, SEKRIT PROJEKT. But I can’t tell you. It’s SEKRIT.

So bummed there’s no nerdcore panel tho. There’s like 4 artists that will be in attendance!
I know, right? But when I was doing it, the problems with panels were always availability conflicts mashing up with room availability mashing up with minimising overlapping events. (When I was running nwcMUSIC, I had an absolute ban on that. The current crew, obviously, doesn’t – but it’s still a thing.)
Oh word. Hella understand the struggles of panel placement from watchin folk at other cons play the panel puzzle game. Just a missed opportunity this year is all.
Def.in.ite.ly let them know it was missed. And get fans to do so too.
Norwescon is 400% a squeeky-wheel convention.
I let SunnyJim know that it was a bummer we didn’t have a nerdcore offering this year when I got my panel schedule. I’m curious to see if any attendees think so too.
