The Pieces Fall Into Place

We've filled that last open panelist slot for Friday's show, as Jason Schachat has agreed to join us in seat 5.

I've delighted to have heard from Kathryn Daugherty in Westercon Programming that we should have pretty much all the tech we could want: an 8-channel mixer, wireless connection (for my ECM-51A; the only question I'll have is whether it uses an XLR connector or not), four microphones for the six panelists, and a CD/Tape player for the show music. Even if we end up with two other sound inputs -- a second tape player would be helpful, plus the computer doing the bell/buzzer sound effects -- we still have enough channels on the sound board to make it work.

I'll be happy to tell Lisa about this, but it won't happen today because she's participating in Field Day this weekend and won't be near a telephone until probably Monday. (The irony has not escaped me that the reason I can't contact Lisa is that she's talking on the radio all weekend.)

Now if I had Lisa's call sign and I emailed my sister-in-law, she could get a message to my brother (doing field day in Oakland, I think), who could get the message relayed. But that'd be silly.

Yes, it would. I could do something similar -- my call is KE6APJ -- but I won't. Lisa will call me when she calls me; that's how it goes.

I was musing on a Rube Goldberg way to get a message to her (knowing it wasn't going to be done). Adding you in the picture, you could radio my brother to get my sister-in-law to email me.....

YES! I am delighted with this news. Schachat and I have had chances to hone our "on stage" chemistry at several panels, and I think he'll do a fine job of not being Garcia. I'm looking forward to it.
