So: having met with
bunny_hugger in Lansing and only two hours late, we got ready to drive to Columbus, Ohio, and Morphicon.
We kept bubbling up around the performances, and listening to other performers, and even when the hotel came around to close the doors so we'd be more quiet we were having a great time and finished karaoke that first night no later than about 2:15 in the afternoon the following Wednesday. It still didn't really go on long enough, but we needed to sleep.
Trivia: In 1481 a building on the London Bridge, ``the common siege'' --- a public privy --- collapsed, killing five. The Bridge House's workers were not punished. In a collapse in 1499 of several houses on on Paris's Pont Notre Dame those maintaining the buildings were given life imprisonments.
