Pissed off at Dragoncon

[captnsparrow]

So I hear that Radio Cult is playing Dragoncon this year? When last year they shot my band down because they said no cover bands.

Oh that sucks!

[captnsparrow]

Yep, yep it does.

[eponablackhorse]

Big time. :(

[pagemasterjim]

They almost always have some kind of cover band, too. I wonder if they just don't like you personally for whatever reason. Politics can be silly.

Fuck.

I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that you usually host the pirate party or something. Maybe the idiots at D*Con thinks you can't both play at the con and host the party? And, dude, the pirate party is a major attraction.

[witchygreen]

He doesn't host the Pirate Party.

[captnsparrow]

Yep! That is 100% correct! It isnt my party. Its Foehelms party. Say it with me...its Foe's. I never said anywhere that it was and when asked always state that it isnt mine. At the time of the creation of the party me and Foe were always around each other, so I can see the mix up witchygreen.

SO for my LJ readers and "Anonymous" The Dragoncon PirateParty isnt not run by me in any way, its not my party.

Wow, I didn't know you could do that with the IP address and google maps. Impressive. Anonymous also lives near Freehome it seems.

Also, Anonymous may just be a lurker who doesn't have an LJ account. Food for thought.

As for Dragon Con, I say start your own con. Seriously. Call it Pirate Con. Where pirate themed events, concerts and games are held over a three day weekend.

It would be great exposure for your band, but honestly, do you want to enjoy dragoncon or spend it running from one set to the next? Your lady always looks so harried, rushing around with her band.

Totally random... I'm passing through on April 7. Can I crash at your place? :-D

[captnsparrow]

True, but I wouldnt mind taking a costume break and just play music.

Sure, I will ask Becky but Im sure it will be fine.

[pktaxwench]

I vote you all comandeer the atrium level of the Mariott and play there anyway. I'd make sure to go!

Remember that the D*Con Powers That Be do read the D*Con LJ community... hopefully you won't have burned bridges permanently.

*hugs*

Well you seem, they said they didnt have ASCAP coverage for a cover band. They lied, I called ASCAP myself and asked whsat coverage DC had and they said they were fully coverd.
