Our intrepid GOH, Terence Chua, will be hosting a Cthulhu Cabaret featuring songs about...well, you know Who. SO...we are looking for Cthulhu songs. If you have any, know of any, or wish to write one, please think about submitting it/them for Terence's consideration. Since we will probably have way more than there will be time to perform, Terence (assisted by our programming director) will do the final selection of material to be performed at the Cabaret. For submission instructions, please contact Seanan at:

Last year we had lots of mostly well-behaved children at Consonance with no formal children's programming and very informal supervision. We would like to have ideas from parents about how we might do better next year, and we would especially like volunteers to help provide us with better structure. As a perk, we might be able to have a live broadcast from the concert room into the children's room so that children and supervising adults could hear the concerts and special events. Please send your ideas, suggestions, complaints, etc. to: .

Gee..we're having four fabulous guests, a Cabaret, a Birthday party, one-shots, mini-concerts, lots of open filking...That doesn't leave a lot of room for our Programming Ghoddess to go hog-wild, does it? Even so, we are interested in programming ideas, so send them along! If you know you will be at Consonance and would like to do a concert, workshop, special circle, panel or whatever, write to Seanan at .

We won't be able to fit everyone into the schedule, but we'll do our best to be fair!
