Hey, everyone! I wanted to thank you all, again, for being here and supporting me. You literally make it possible for me to live more-or-less comfortably, and I can't thank you enough.

I can, however, catch up on some of the things I've been meaning to do. Like, say, online concerts just for patrons.

I now have both sufficiently fast (albeit not great) internet and sufficient technology that I can set up concerts for broadcast. This has always been part of the plan; it just took a lot longer than I expected to get here.

So! I would love your feedback on what days of a given week or month it would be good to have a concert on. Third weekend of April? Monday rather than Tuesday? Upcoming event that might conflict? Talk to me.

The first date I am considering is Saturday, Apr 10, sometime in the afternoon. Thoughts?

Works for me! I'll look forward to it whenever. --filkferengi

In 2021, I think the 9th is a Friday. Before 5pm on week days (for sure) I will be at work, and Tuesdays are generally full after work. Weekends generally somewhat better.

Jeffrey David Marraccini

I think the Saturday you mentioned would be April 10, 2021. Oops, looks like there is a Penguicon Con Com meeting in the afternoon. Later in the afternoon, like after 3PM, would be great if possible. Thank you, Tom!

The only evening that is bad for me is Tuesday. The only afternoon that is good for me is Sunday.

William McKissack

After 8 Eastern is better than earlier during the week. On the weekend afternoons are usually good. Looking forward to it. Several of your albums got me through a rough patch a few weeks ago

Tom Smith

Margaret, Jeffrey, you're both correct -- I got the date wrong, it's Apr 10. Jeff, I was thinking later, so that's good to know.

Friday evenings and Saturdays, as ever, are bad for me and Alex -- but so is pretty much the whole of April, so please don't reschedule anything then on our account. I know Saturdays are likely to be the most convenient for everybody else, but it'd be great if some future concerts could be on Sundays or weekdays? Relatedly: in general, would these concerts be recorded for later viewing by those patrons who can't make the live shows?

Tom, we'd love to arrange a mini-concert for the B5 group at some point! <3

Bob Wittig

Saturday afternoon (or evening) would be great. Regardless, I'll make time for any schedule that you select.

Tuesdays are the only bad days for me. Any other day, I can skip what I normally that night. Tuesdays I am on the air at Dementia Radio so can't really skip that (unless you were thinking of starting at 9 PM EST or later).

Sunday after 5PM PST is generally busy, for me. Otherwise, my week is flexible, currently.

I think Patreon concerts from you would be great. However, I'm signed up for a certain amount per song. Would a concert count as a song? (I think it should!) That weekend is the San Francisco Folk Music Club's Spring Harmony online camp out. There is usually something, particularly now that distance is no barrier. I don't know what's on the schedule at that event, so I might be at your concert. The ability to replay would be handy.

The afternoon of Saturday April 10th would work for me, late as I am to this conversation.
