Dear Santa,

Sorry to be writing again so soon after the last letter, but I just need you to know that, in case I’m not good enough this year to become Charlie Clouser, I’d be perfectly happy to step down to a set of these babys:

Hokey Spokes - Bicycle Safety Lights with LED spoke lights for your bike

And if you could bring a nice, new bike to put them on, that’d be cool, too. But I don’t wanna push my luck, so don’t bother with the bike if I’m being annoying here.

Hope your spring is springing,

Dear Santa,

When I grow up, I want to be Charlie Clouser. If I’m really good, do you think you can make that happen this Christmas?

Yours expectantly,

-t

Yeah, okay, I’m bitter about GothCon. So I’m gonna kick up some dust. Here, have a list of bitter questions:

1. Why bother to book 15 bands if you’re going to have to schedule some of them at 2 in the afternoon when everybody’s still recovering from last night’s overindulgence?
2. Sure, the nice, private soundcheck before we went on was nice but couldn’t you solve the endless waiting between bands problem by having the bands load in/check (last on = first in) in the afternoon and then the hall opens at 7 and doesn’t need to close until the DJ’s done at 4am. (This would also solve the 2pm problem.)
3. What charity does GothCon benefit? I seem to remember this info being on gothcon.com a few month’s ago but it’s not there now.
4. And, speaking of gothcon.com, what happened to the site? Did it go bye-bye?
