Worldcon music panel
As I mentioned a few days ago, one of the panels I'm on at Worldcon is called "performing with other people". Last week, I learned that I was on this panel (and not only that, but the moderator!) by grepping for my name in the published schedule. (I just wanted to confirm times for the items I knew about, and then this popped up in addition.) So I found email addresses for the other participants and sent out email.
I've heard from almost everyone, and *no one* knew they were on this panel. (One said "gee, good thing I read my email".) The sad thing is that this is probably going to be the most interesting of the items I'm on, and we've had almost no time to prepare for it. I got notifications for my other program items a few weeks ago; I wonder what went wrong this time.
To catch people before they left for the con, yesterday I declared a meeting time and place by fiat. I hope that's ok with people. I'm also developing a topic list, in case no one else has time to think about it. I much prefer to do these things by consensus and not fiat, though.
I wonder what the odds are of torpedoing the now-very-marginal panel that I'm on immediately before this one. The organizers didn't respond to my "gee, I'm not sure this works with the current set of people" mail. My current plan is to leave that panel early (so I can get to the other one on time) and leave the other participant to fend for himself for the last 10 minutes or so.

But mostly I wanted to say "Bwahahaha" at the fact that your icon for "frustrated" is a Microsoft Windows logo.
Bwahahaha!
