Would you believe… my original goal was $50
Thanks to amazing sponsors I am now at $451.93 (And however we wound up with 93 cents makes me very happy)…
Anyone want to do $49 more? I’d be thrilled at $500

Just tuned in BE Radio which is basically the Blogathon radio station. They are currently playing the remix of the Time Warp.
In another window is an IRC chat for the Blogathon…. And of course are the blogs.
I am reminded of an evening about 10 years ago at Pennsic War. (Now they are on Saturday Night, by the Bay City Rollers which is a real memory trip)
I was playing Doumbek around camps and was invited to a hafla with some friends. We got there and the place was packed. I mean people were 5 deep into the street around the camp site. Someone spotted me and beckoned me around the side.
He said.. drummer.. you come in through here.
Inside was two tents filled with snacks… We’re talking regal catering.
And that was for the drummers. Fruit, chips, drinks, water, seats.
As it turned out.. we were the VIPs. because we played for the dancers and they brought the crowd.
We got wonderful treatment because we were making the thing come together.
Listening to the music being played for the Bloggers in the Blogathon. Watching the chat.
Typing posts. It feels neat.

(Had this one in the text editor.. almost forgot to hit send)
To keep the bloggers involved (read: awake) the blogathon site has a few games going. Questions to answer.
This half hour:
So many of us give our blogs funky names. Why did you choose yours.
The easy part is Lord Andrei… Despite sounding all BDSM like… it’s really because I spent 15 years in the SCA and was given the title Lord. Interestingly, I’ve been on the net long enough that adding Lord to the less than common Russian spelling ‘Andrei’ made a handle that is to this day almost always available.
Sure it carries a bit of ostentatiousness and maybe a bit of superiority… but hey.. My journal.. My words.
The interesting this is that Andrei isn’t my birth-name. It’s the name I chose in the SCA that eventually grew to become my legal first name. And that.. is a story in the archives of my Journal.
