Mile High Con and The Colorado Springs Witches Ball 2011

Wow!

No, seriously. Wow.

If you haven't been to Mile High Con, you should go next year. Go buy your tickets as soon as they go on sale and GO!
The people there are amazing, and not only did I get to sing a lot and have my art in the art show, I also bought two new books to read! I'll post some reviews when I finish them. :)

The thing I like most about MHC? The fact that everyone is so friendly and willing to network and talk and geek out. The bellydancing zombies this year didn't hurt either!

So Saturday after playing all day at MHC we headed to the Colorado Spring Witches Ball. What FUN that was!!! I got to buy things too... so that didn't hurt!
We sang with all of the energy we had, and it was warm on that stage! But so very worth it. I really hope that we can go back and sing again next year!

Sunday it was back to MHC to help out in the art show, that was a blast in a half. I met so many new friends there!

Alright, I wanted to post this even if it's disjointed. Why? Because in 2.5 hours I start NaNoWriMo.

So, to leave you all smiling:

Dragon*Con 2011

Another year of Dragon*Con comes to a close.

Yes, I know that I'm about a week late posting this, but we had the whooole drive home (24 hours) and then I managed to catch the con crud which kicked my butt for a good few days. (Thank goodness for tea!)

(Thank you to Aris and Kendrah for this video and many many others!)

I know that the colors are wonky, but it was the Time Traveler's Ball! We were like... rockstars or something! All of the lights and the people and I got to DANCE during ShadowCat's drum solo! (insert a squee here) I really don't usually... dance. Not like I feel like I was that night on stage, but that could just be a Pooka being completely overwhelmed by adrenaline and many other emotions and energy and yay!

The con was AMAZING! I know that last year I had a blast, but this year? Even better. I am still floored by the fact that people RECOGNIZED me in the halls. I mean.. really? I'm humbled, and tickled pink. Thank you to everyone that came by the booth, or came to talk to us after shows. Thank you to the countless people that took photos, the people that allowed me to steal their hats to take photos in them. The Con staff and volunteers that kept everything as sane as possible. The HOTEL STAFF that dealt with our insanity...

I had such a blast singing Filk, talking with everyone at DarkCon, seeing Abney Park (Yay! I made it to their show) with Mudbutton, Got to visit with old friends, make new ones, I learned I can run up at least two flights of stairs in a corset and NOT black out, I learned apple pie is the best drink in the world, and that when given the chance, I will be in Atlanta next year!

I also want to give a special thank you to all of the boothies that dealt with the band's insanity, and to Kendrah and Aris for being so amazing and taking so many videos of us.

And I leave you with... a filk!

A New Overview

Well here I am again, trying to figure out where I left off and where I should pick back up.

If you are new to my blog, then welcome!! My name is Rubiee and I’m… well I’m many things.

I’m a musician in Pandora Celtica, I’m a Pooka, I’m obsessed with keys and glitter both. I create stuff…. and I like shiny things!

And sometimes? I post video blogs.

This blog is usually full of randomness but I had some… issues when I tried to update the software (this Pooka isn’t very good at stuff like that). So I lost everything that I had previously written. From Dragon Con posts to The Witches’ Ball and everything else. I’m sure in time I will write a lot more about gigs, my friends and fellow bandies and everything that is the life of Rubiee.

And I leave you with a video of one of the songs from Pagan Pride Day!
