Title: The Con Song
ttto: The Wedding Song by Paul Stookey


Nice one!

The volunteers that plan it and that run it day to day
Let us have the enjoyment but complain in mock dismay,
"We run cons. Why run cons?"

Grin - I'm deliberately ATTENDING this year's CaliFur instead of working
at the con, just to get the view from the other side of the footlights
so to speak. Well, I will be in the Cabaret as usual, so I'll probably
miss the banquet-equivalent for rehearsals.
