IGC gig report: much goodness

Queen of Hearts — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 20:51:12 +0000

Thursday night, November 20, 2008. I think it was our best performance evah! Lots of smiles, laughs, and bopping due to our clinically proven rock formula (not available in stores.) Serious pr0px0rs go out to our IGC hosts who provided appropriate signage AND a bowl of hand sorted brown M&M’s, which were ceremoniously presented in a souvenir green ceramic bowl. Scott got to keep the empty bowl.

We’ve had to cancel our MAGFest gig

Due to family commitments, we’ve had to cancel our trip to DC to play at the MAGFest New Years Eve party. But you should still go! Looks like a lot of fun.

Click on the Music tab.

It says this on the MAGFest website. And we believe it because we read it on the Internet:
MAGFest is a video and computer gaming festival run by fans, for fans. It’s similar to most fan-based (anime, scifi, etc) conventions, but aims to be more of a laid-back video game party atmosphere. No huge dealer rooms here, but rather lots of fan art, film and music. The special guests tend to fit right in and socialize with the rest of the crowd. Game movies and cartoons are shown weekend-long. Lots of attendees set up games in their rooms and leave their door open to invite others inside.

Perhaps most importantly, MAGFest has a huge focus on game music — multiple concerts worth — filled with video game music tributes, some even with the original composers! On Friday and Saturday nights multiple bands perform on our main stage, and our ‘JamSpace’ is open 24 hours for collaborative music and special treats alike.

Love and silly hats,
Party Queen

The Words we Use are Strong

The Fat Man — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 22:43:14 +0000

Randy Buck, the Captains of the Chess Team’s godlike soundman, got laid off recently. Worst thing ever? Maybe, maybe not.

Looks like he spent the afternoon making amazing sound. I got this mix today from him, with a note that seemed kind of exuberant to me:

“Here’s what I did with my afternoon:Wang Chung.mp3

There’s more where that came from…”

It’s from The Captains’ most recent performance at the IGDA picnic at Richard Garriott’s house last month. Randy’s had very little time to do mixing because of all the demands of his work schedule.

Our performance was OK, yeah…but What a MIX!

I dunno, I hate to hear about anything bad happening to anybody, but So Often I can look back at the “worst thing that’s ever happened to me” and see that it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I’m trying to keep faith, and watching Randy, I’m hoping that this “Job Loss” will turn into a huge gain for him. It’s not for me to say, it’s none of my business, bla bla bla, but:

The words we use are strong. They make reality.

Randy: The world is a pretty awesome thing, and you’re an awesome part of it. THANK YOU for this mix, thank you for being in my life. I think everything is going to be awesome, not despite this turn of events, but because of it.

Love,
Your friend,
FAT

Captains in the raw

Queen of Hearts — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 03:25:05 +0000

We’ve just posted several recordings of The Captains of the Chess Team “rehearsing”. But we don’t call it rehearsing. That word has too much baggage. We call it farming. Since none of us grew up on farms, we have no farm baggage or potato sackage. We call a recording session cheese making for similar reasons. We are slowly making cheese, but it’s not ripe yet. We’ll keep you posted.

Love, Queenie
