Sadly, so far, they aren&#8217;t public &#8211; if you find any, link &#8217;em in comments! Also, thanks to everybody who turned out for a Sunday afternoon show at checkout time, that takes some goddamn dedication. Cramming six songs into a half-hour set doesn&#8217;t <em>sound<\/eM> that tricky, but I wasn&#8217;t simplifying <Em>anything<\/em> for <eM>anybody<\/em>, which is why I showed up like two hours early to set up before anyone else.

But that performance approach really helps it work live, so I&#8217;m doin&#8217; it. We also did USSR later, in the band scramble, and <em>that<\/em> nearly started a goddamn riot.

Because EVERYONE IN OVERWATCH IS GAY. And at the meetup, <em>literally everyone was queer, we actually checked<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>It was hilarious.<\/p>\n<p>So, yeah! Thanks again for having me, and special thanks to the createspace crew for the use of their sewing supplies &#8211; <em>very<\/em> much appreciated &#8211; and let&#8217;s do it again next year.&nbsp;^_^<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back from Orycon 38!
