It&#8217;s funny &#8211; it&#8217;s not so much that the con (still very much a party hosted by Donna) hit critical mass this year. It&#8217;s more that it hit that <eM>pre-<\/em>critical mass of people going, &#8220;You know, we could turn this into a real and bigger thing.&#8221; So next year, there will be a multi-person concom, there&#8217;s an official convention hotel, and multiple-room function space, and possibly some SCA tie-ins&#8230; yeah, it&#8217;s still very DIY, but more people are going to be involved in the doing.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming everybody does what they&#8217;re saying they plan to do, of course. XD<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I had my best year there yet. Bringing Leannan Sidhe along was <em>awesome<\/em> and both our shows went over pretty big. We had people coming back from last year who remembered the songs I did again, we had new people, some of the folks from town came over, and overall we just had a good old time. And sold CDs, which doesn&#8217;t hurt anything either.<\/p>\n<p>There may be some video. I haven&#8217;t checked it yet. Fingers crossed.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll post a picture-spam post from the hike we did of the continuing-to-be-gorgeous bay. For now, have a picture of a pretty moth I took, while setting up for the concert. Gorgeous wings, don&#8217;t you think?<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/solarbird.net\/Livejournal\/2014-07\/mothra-500.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another year, another Clallam Bay Comicon!
