Life, the universe, pies, hot-pink bunnies, world domination, and everything
The Friday Washington Kokonvention is history (albeit recent and glorious history). The Wednesday Kokon’ is still to come. The kokonversation continues.
Continued from Part 1.
Date: August 11, 2007
Categories: Fan Page / MuseBlog business, Kokonventions
I’ll start by posting the lyrics to “Have a Pie” for those who weren’t there to receive our welcome kit. It’s sung to the tune of “Let It Be.”
When I find myself in times of trouble
Kokopelli happens by
Speaking words of comfort: Have a pie.
And if I’m tired and gloomy
He is sure to catch me on the sly,
Flinging pans of pastry: Have a pie.
CHORUS: Have a pie, have a pie, have a pie, have a pie.
Flinging pans of pastry, have a pie.
When I wake up in the morning
Something hits me in the eye:
Globs of lemon custard — Have a pie.
And every time I turn a corner
Crust and filling from the sky
Splatter on my shoulders — Have a pie.
CHORUS: Have a pie, have a pie, have a pie, have a pie.
Splatter on my shoulders, have a pie.
Pumpkin, peach, banana, cherry,
Sweet enough to make you cry,
Dribble down my forehead — Have a pie.
Chocolate cream and apple-rhubarb
Warmer than a lullaby
Pie me into dreamland — Have a pie.
CHORUS: Have a pie, have a pie, have a pie, have a pie.
Pie me into dreamland, have a pie.

5-Sound. Of nearly everyone’s performances.
And it’s blackmail because I say it is…lol.
It was really nice meeting you, yesterday! And never say you’re not good-looking. 
If I were your age and single…

1- Sweet song! I am so memorizing it… forget Swinburne, that sounds like much more fun.
4- Yeah, I love songs/poems lke those. That was how I wrote last years GAPA appreciation day song, this years took a little longer.
Post the songs, people, if you recorded them! I’d love to hear them!
And pictures! Let the people who couldn’t go relive it!

In case anyone is wondering, my camera broke down so I didn’t bring it. It will take pictures when it wants to, or not, or make the screen go black. So I didn’t want to carry it around to maybe get a picture. But several people had great small cameras, so we should have pictures soon!

11~ You call yourself ugly?! You’re not.
The kokonvention was SO MUCH FUN!!!!!! I can’t say that enough. Thanks so much to the wonderful GAPAs who pulled it off.
The muse-ical part was great, both Rebbeca and Robert have really nice voices for singing, and, of course, those were really good songs! I have had “Mamas Don’t let Your Babies Grow Up to be Muses” stuck in my head all day, save me!!!!

423(on previous thread)~ That sounds like fun! We left and went to the House of Musical Traditions afterwards. but it sounds cool, getting to hang out with the GAPAs and various MBloggers some more. everyone was so nice.
426 (also on prev. thread)~ Yes, I emailed everybody to make sure that I had the correct names and emails. so far I’ve heard back from Purple Panda, Glassboro and you. And yes, I’m sure all the Kokonvention deprived MBloggres are ready to kill us, and it won’t help to remind each other to check our emails. That being said, go check your email! *evil laugh*
I’m going to wave at the AAAS building every time I’m in DC now, or better yet, do the Koko sign! Yeah, that’s what I’ll do!

I’m loading the movies onto my computer as we speak! Then, THF and I will put it into a mini-MuseCast-movie thing, and send it to the GAPAs, then we’ll take all of our audio stuff and make it into another MuseCast! :D:D:D

Looks like a much smaller crowd on wednesday, but it should be just as fun! More time to talk to each person!

(16, 17) MF: I just hope you all had half as much fun as we did.
The House of Musical Traditions was one of my favorite hangouts when I lived in Takoma Park just after graduating from college. Did you see any concertinas there?
By the way, I’ve figured out what was going on with “Ashokan Farewell.” You had learned it as an air, while the pianist was playing it as a waltz. Both are perfectly valid ways of playing it, but airs are slower and more free-form and tend to work best as solos.
0
0
19~ Bah, you’re cool. When did you check your email? I just sent you one about 15 minutes ago! geez, get with it. *kidding*
20~ It was fantastic! I really can’t say that enough, it’s such an understatement, not even flamablamuluos [sp?] can describe how great it was. Thanks for putting in so much time and effort into making the blog such a great place to be, and then having a Kokonvention for us. It really was amazing.
the House of Musical traditions was neat, I’ve been there before, but a long time ago. We went to look at concertinas, and I managed to figure out a C scale with a lot of hunting and pecking. Saving the allowance now…..a couple hundred dollars more!
Ashokan farewell went awry for a few reasons, not the least was my lack of practicing it, heh, heh, whoops. I got lost when the piano takes the melody and violin plays double stops, that was the hardest part when I was learning it too. I ended up a good bit ahead of the piano, so I think I skipped a few measures from nerves and small print on the music. That and it was dark where I was hiding in the corner! In all though, the whole “Muse-ical” part went really well I think. But I STILL have tat song stuck in my head.

I’m making a “preview” of the video, since I’m not sure when it’s going to be done. Robert – do you have a list of people who have permission for their pictures to be put on the blog?

To say I had a great time and enjoyed meeting MBers and their family members would be woefully inadequate. Unfortunately, at the moment my verbal abilities seem to have deserted me. Today all my thinking seems to take the form of singing or dancing or piano playing and none of it transliterates very well into typed words. (Ever have days like that?)
So, for the moment pardonez-moi if I merely nod my head “yes” to what others have said.
Once I can sit quietly for more than five minutes and concentrate with sufficient clarity to figure out what I’m doing, I’ll get to work on selecting some Kokonvention pictures to post.

(18) Purple Panda: Red-tailed HAWK’s mother says photos are fine, but no names, please. That’s the only restriction from any of the Friday crowd.
(17, etc.) By the way, all you non-Konventioneers should know that Midnight Fiddler is also a talented seamstress. Wait till you see the photos of the pie-shaped purse she sewed!
0

Usually when I have days like that my thoughts are converted into singing, violin/fiddle playing and jumping all over the place and usually knocking things over. I know exactly how it is.
An update on pictures, my Mom has just said that I can have my picture on MB. So you don’t have to worry about the group photo or anything.
0
0
I don’t have much to say, Midnight Fiddler’s already said it many times. But I’m looking forward to seeing people again, and am very scared of Shadowkat, as she apparently has a recording of me attempting to play Colored Aristocracy. *cowers*
So, what do people say to a Kokonvention in Princeton, NJ?
0
0
24~ Thanks, that’s going to be on the blog?! Did you get the back of it with the 
on it? I think Rebecca got a pic.
As much as I’d love to brag, it was my Mom who really designed it. I just said, “I’m too lazy to carry around a psudopie, I’ll just make it a purse!” I pretty much said what I wanted it to look like and Mom figured out how to do it, then we split the sewing. Mom got the bigger half.

I’ve made a really short, choppy preview of the big “movie” we’re making – it may take a week or so, and I think people are dying to see Robert and Rosanne pie each other! Robert – I’m about to send it to you…post it if it works! :D:D:D

Hey GAPAs, another question: does my mom have to send an email to you saying that it’s okay to put pictures of me on the blog, or is my saying she says it okay? Because she really has!
0
0
(25) Ah, yes, exactly. Though happily I have not knocked anything over or run into anything. Nor have I had any close calls like the staircase moment you and your mom witnessed yesterday.
(27) Yes, I have pictures of both sides of the pie purse.

sorry, the last comment didn’t make sense out of context, it was for Rebecca.
31~ ? Okay, that’s cool, now I know what your initials are. *laughs* But you don’t know what mine are!!!! *laughs hysterically*
That’s because the Kokonvention was so mindblowingly awesome that everyone had to write about it.
GAPAs, so what about the pictures, does my Mom have to email?

When we left the Musical Soriee my Mom disappeared and we were trying to find her and Rebecca missed a step on the stairs.

(33) Nah. Only startled me when I stepped out onto air instead of the floor I expected. I have many years’ practice of catching myself before I hit the pavement.
Hugs and choklit/chocolate always welcome though!
Would she mind emailing? Some parents requested only pictures with others in the photo. I have one of just you with your purse, but I won’t post it unless it’s OK. (With a little editing I can still show just the purse.)
(35) Not to worry, RtH, no one was hurt. I merely felt silly. But I’m good at that.

Outlook still fails to work. I will check my email as soon as possible. I really want to now. It actually worked! 39 emails. I’ll get to the kokonvention stuff eventually.
What’s going on here:Still at the hotel. Today wasn’t really that interesting because most of the museums were closed and it was too hot to spend time outside. The hotel has a pool though, spent some time there.
26- It’s closer to where I live than DC. I’d hopefully be able to come.
Actually, my parents are warming to the thought of me holding a kokonvention nearby. I’m not sure that I live in a big enough place, though.
It’s really weird reading all your posts and knowing what you look like.
I’ll stop being random now and go look at email.

poor me…. i live in the middle of no where….. to far away to seriouslyconsider having attended one of these
23- i have days like that all the time. and then you begin to spontaniously bust into song…….. i love having friends who don’t miss a beat and start singing with me. and one who will play the acompianiment if there’s a piano within 20 ft.

Apologies for missing the Kokonvention. It would have been great to pop over from England, but I had to wander up and down the main street of Walsall, providing musical accompaniment for a nine foot tall monk. And then I’m doing a concert in Stow on the Wold on Saturday. I will be in Yankland on Sunday, but the itinerary is uncertain. I want to get to Darwin, Minnesota, to see the world’s biggest twine ball, but I might not manage it.

world’s biggest twine ball? that is spiffy. i didn’t know it was in minn. must make parents take detour to check it out when we go.
i’m going to DC tomorrow! squee! probably won’t have comp access (unless i steal robert’s treo, which is a likely possibility. GAPA, if your treo is stolen, IT WASN’T ME! I saw some shady character hanging around for a while before it was stolen though. It was definitely him. Not me at all. oh sorry, just practicing my stor-erm, practicing breaking the bad news)
ergh, dishes are evil. can’t wait to see u all!

Hey, I just got 15 emails, and they appear to be from various musers, that I don’t know. I just wanted to ask who they are, and who gave my email to them. The emails make absolutely NO SENSE, but I reconize some of the MB-ers that I met on Fri. bujt I’d like to know about the rest. Thanks.

0
50-See u soon!
If this comforts anyone who wasn’t at the kokonvention, and therefore did not get e-mail addresses, I will not abandon the blog!
I don’t know if anyone mentioned that we talked to NAK, and, um, what’s his name. In a teleconference room thing in robert’s building.
Oh, and I got to see Robert one more time before we left! We brought him his rolling suitcase with old Muse issues in it back to him…

I’m a bit upset about it, and would like an explination. When I gave the MBers my email at the Kokonvention I didn’t expect it to turn into a big email loop of people I’m not sure I know. Thanks in advance.

Minnesota… if we do have one there, we might be able to make it. If we have enough time and stuff, it’s not too far away.

Midnight Fiddler- some of the people are other MBer’s emails that Purple Panda had. (non-kokonventioners like me)
I’m not sure I mind too much. Gmail organizes things nicely into conversations, so I’m not upset about my inbox.
0
0
59~ Okay, no offence, but I think that the emails should be used to communicate directly with people about things that can’t be said on the blog, such as getting together and such.
The GAPAs work really hard to make MuseBlog a fun and safe place to be, and I don’t think it’s fair to organize an email loop for several reasons. One, the health of the blog, two, it’s really exclusive to the people who have been lucky enough to go to a Kokonvention, and the others who didn’t make it get left in the dust. Three, I’d prefer to know, or meet in person the people that know my email adress. I’m not trying to be a spoil sport, but I think that this is an issue that needs to be discussed.
0
0
I certainly agree we must stick with the blog, but I’m not too concerned about the other e-mails. I do not think I will tell people I haven’t met much about me, but other than that I don’t see a problem. I do, however, look forward to when the mail slows down a bit. Things are getting sent to everyone that might not even be needed by the person intended to read it. I’m not saying it’s wrong, but I do believe we have all been just a bit over-excited by meeting each other.
I also think the best way to make people who don’t have the e-mail addresses feel better is to just stop talking about this altogether, rather than rubbing in the fact that we have the addresses, even if by solving problems that arise due to having them. [/terrible long sentence of terror ]
I’m not mad at anyone here, if it seems like it I didn’t mean for it to…
Pies!

As I said in the email just now…
There normally arn’t masses of emails like this between the bloggers, guys. Normally I just have an email going back and forh with ebeth or send/receive poems with e~a, not big loops like this one is, with a new one each time you refresh your inbox.

Hey! I had a really weird dream that I went to the Kokonvention and I met Alice and I though this girl was Shadowkat, but she was really Purple Panda. And then Red-Tailed HAWK gave me his email after running after me, who was running after the real Shadowkat’s vending machine. (?)
0
0
64~ Scary. Alice wasn’t there, and Shadowkat and PP don’t look anything alike. Your part about Red-tailed HAWK sounds a bit like something that actually happened, but then it was me running after R-t H and Glassboro because we almost lost them going around a corner, geez, Robert walks fast! Shadowkat’s vending machine?!?!

Did Glassboro stay with Robert? All I can remember is standing on the corner next to MF, wondering how Robert could have crossed the intersection when it wasn’t time to walk, and already be out of sight! Then my brain actually FUNCTIONED, which is rare at times, and I realized Robert was half way up the block. Whew, I think those noisy fire trucks made me lose track of things. Or were they after? Was I already dreading them, or was I just being dumb? I scare myself sometimes. I hope I wasn’t scary at the kokonvention!
0
0
Was this walking to get instruments? Is that why I don’t seem to recall it?
0
0
No, you weren’t scary.
You and Glassboro were immersed in conversation, and missed the fact that we had turned a corner. By the way, the fire trucks had passed already, else you wouldn’t have been able to having a conversation…..
0
0
68- I’m used to it, though. I probably should have put Robert’s number into my phone, though.
69- What?
0
0
58- No one really takes it seriously. I’m feeling bitter right now, so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but it doesn’t really seem like enough people believe it’s possible. I do, and you do, and Glassboro and Cinnamoon do, but no one else even considers it. And yet they can so easily pop over to D.C. *sigh*
I’m really considering deleting this comment, because it was written when I was steamed up and angry about things that the email issue stirred up, and I feel horrible. But rereading it, it carries none of the anger and bitterness that I actually am projecting into it, so I’m submitting it. If it seems to you like I’m being a horrible immature brat, then I am sorry. You’ll be pleased to know I won’t be here for most of the week.

74-Hermgrlerg. Depends where it is. Relatively easy driving distance, w/o needing to stay in a hotel would be about what I think my parents would consider. But not right now, we’re going to be busy soon. Hmmm…Sometime in September might work, but it would have to be a Saturday for most people I guess. It could work out, though!

What’s nice about PA for a Kokonvention (especially Pittsburgh!) is that most people in PA could come, people in Ohio, Maryland, D.C., West Virginia, and many other places could come. And a lot of people live in those areas – it’s a really central location :D:D:D
0

I could come to PA, probably. Or New Jersey, probably. I mean, I came to Washington, and that’s pretty much the outer limit of driving distance from here. And I want to hold a NY one, only I don’t think we could hold it in my home town and I don’t know if parents would be willing to go somewhere else. Who thinks that meeting at a museum in NYC for a day would be a good thing? Nothing’s wrong with [snip!] but watch it get snipped from the comment.

Day Two of the Kokonvention is now in full swing. Ebeth, kt the gr8, the Qween of Green, and Red-tailed HAWK are touring National Public Radio even as I write. Soon they’ll be strolling by to scoop me up for lunch. (I mean that we’re going to lunch together, not — you know.) Then, off to visit Ivars Peterson in his mysterious domain.

Man, I hope you all had fun. I wish I was there, but, alas, I was instead swinning in a lake, and doing the bumper cars at the county fair. (squash the cousin!!!)
Gagh, MATH! Not my strongest subject, let me assure you. Yet the “math page” is always an iteresting read.
Hope you all had TONS of fun, I know I did at the last one!!!

I had a great time at the Wednesday Kokonvention yesterday, even if by some egregious cosmic glitch I wound up sitting at the “adult” end of the lunch table. It’s too bad that I had to work and couldn’t spend more time with the MBers, but I’m sure Ivars and Lady Bunniful and the fine folks at NPR kept everybody well occupied.
Thunderstorms today. Glad we’re not out in that.

omgz robert have you ever been in the math building? it’s sweet. it’s got all these amazing sculptures and stuff
actually what we did was really interesting. i was kind of thinking “oh god…math over the summer…” but it was cool math. meaning math that teachers never think of teaching because it doesn’t involve lots of complicated numbers.
NPR was great too. we had a good tour guide i think, he seemed to know a lot about what was going on.
oh wait, GAPA RC!!!! i have to yell at you, because you missed signing my kokopelli shirt, which i made everybody else do. except it’s more my fault, but i’m blaming you. bwahaha.
i got to meet green qween, kt the gr8, rtH, and green qween’s brother, along with GAPAs LB and RC. (the remote control GAPA wasn’t there for a lot of it though).
kt the gr8 and green qween both remind me of people i know, and both were pretty talkative after the initial “hi, i’ve talked to you online for ages but i don’t actually know you so wow this is you, this is rather awkward” moment. they were both cool kt the gr8 and rtH were both younger than i expected, especially kt. rtH was a bit quieter but nice, and he kind of initiated the “let’s get out of this awkward circle and talk to each other a bit” movement while we were waiting for robert at B&N.
LB was really talkative and insanely fun. she taught us how to make bunnies out of napkins (although not hot pink, alas).
it was impossible to frown around robert. he’s a giant kid in a suit, and he’s interested in everything.
thanks for the pies, the tours, and the laughs everybody!
The rest of our vacation in DC was fun too. we went to the library of congress (not particularly interesting actually, but amazing architecture), the national archives (my fav, they had some great exhibits, and they had the touch-screen things that let you look at the documents and zoom in and stuff. we didn’t see the constitution, declaration, or bill of rights because there was an insanely long line. we did see the magna carta though, which i didn’t know was in there. while we were waiting to get in, dad asked “which four documents are in the rotunda?” and we were like “four?!” so i guessed the mayflower compact, and dad said “no, the magna carta” and i was like “??? don’t the brits want it?” but apparently it was renewed by each king, so we have the one edward signed. but anyway), the folger shakespeare library (that was my second fav), the natural history museum (very cool), the american indian museum (amazing food, and AMAZING gift shop. expensive though), the air and space museum (i piloted on the simulator thing. lb wasn’t happy, i made him go upside down twice. after a while, he just started shooting randomly, because i definitely wasn’t leading him to any enemy planes (but wheeeeee! it was fun)), and of course NPR, the mathmatics association of america (we got a squishy icosahedron!), and the national press club (bunnies!!!)

I don’t usually wear a suit, but I find I get better service at the National Press Club when I dress like someone vaguely important. (And the service was great. I’ll write them a thank-you letter this weekend.)

89~ Sorry, I didn’t mean to….
90~ You were at the adult end of the table?! *gasp* How horrible! The poor paren– I mean, kids!
91~ Sounds cool. The Folger is one of my faveorite places to be in Washington DC, their plays are fantastic. Except the last time they did the Tempest, it wasn’t so great that time.
Rebecca did the napkin bunnies at the Fri. one too, right in the midle of Robert’s announcement, as you may imagine, everyone’s attention was immediately drawn to the bunny. We threatened to slather it in katsup to make it pink, but decided that the Press Club people would be less than pleased….. heh, heh, heh.
Glad you all enjoyed it. (sorry Glassboro, if I’ve stolen what you were going to say again….)

I wasn’t going to say anything that time. Don’t worry.

(93) Rebecca informs me that the napkins at the press club are the perfect size for bunny-making. I measured them at 20 inches square. Now, if I can just find hot-pink ones that size, I’ll have the perfect Muser birthday present.

95~ I found some great napkins at a restaurant the other day. Beter yet, they were red! Closer to Hot Pink than white, at least…

(95, 97) I found some suitable hot-pink fabric at a craft shop. Sometime I’ll get around to posting instructions. For now, here is my test run.
Also, I realized later that smaller napkins might work better for those whose fingers aren’t quite as long as mine.

Whenever I make them my bunnies always look slightly evil. Like a vampire, my mom says. I’ll have to try to do it that way. [the picture.]

98-aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh! That is a fearful sight. But, yet, it is so…
91-I’ve been to the Folger! It was amazing–I got my copy of Romeo and Juliet from there, and a cool acid-free (?) bookmark. My dad was doing a project there, once, I think. And it was cold (For all the old books, I think?). But I was able to have a big tour, although I was slightly creeped out by the ghost stories… I’ve never seen a play there (Though I wanted to, and I saw the stage), but I saw one of the exhibit-thingys.
