Betsy and I have had a grand shared tour so far. Our first-ever stop in Montana was delicious, and we’re all set to perform in Denver this weekend. Saturday’s concert only has a couple of seats left before it sells out, but Sunday still has plenty of room. Grab tickets online if you like.
A couple of nifty things have crossed my desk that have a connection to GenCon in some way. Since GenCon is going on right now, I thought I’d mention them.
Firstly, this lovely video interview between Friday Elliott, nerdy tea goddess, and Shanna Germain, author and game designer, sponsored by yours truly!
Next, lyrics I wrote for a super-sekrit project whose teaser-trailer had its debut at GenCon today. Hope you like!
BURN ME OUT
Burn me out!
Draw the lightning down!
Stand up! Face your equal!
Turn this world around!
Go on and burn me out!
Catch me if you can!
I’m gonna draw the lightning down.
Coming strong or weak,
stand and face your equal
and we’ll turn this world around!
Call me an outcast, call me a thief.
Close your eyes to my whole magic show.
Turn away from what I have to say.
The powerless have powers you will never know.
We’re all just storytellers,
dreaming out loud to pass the time.
I know my enemy shares my own fragility,
but if you’ve got the spark, you’re bound to get fire!
Call me a criminal for what I hold inside.
Behind your eyes, you know we are the same.
Problem child or spirit of solution,
revolution doesn’t need a lot of flame.
Call on the storyteller. What’s in the cards for you?
I know the choice is clear: compassion over fear
for the magic we can do!
Call me an outcast, call me a thief.
Close your eyes to my whole magic show.
Turn away from what I have to say.
The powerless have powers you will never know!
If you don’t have the spark, you’ll never see fire,
but we’ve got the match right here.
Let the world awake. Make no mistake,
we will still be standing when the smoke has cleared!
We may be out of focus, but we’re proud to let it show.
We stand without the burning and we do not care who knows.
Try to kill what’s beautiful, stand back and watch it grow.
Got a different kind of burning, and we do not care who knows!
Renegades and rascals, we are all the same as you,
standing up for magic and the magic we can do!
Try to hide the mystery, it’s gonna shine through!
We stand up for magic and the magic we can do!
Burn me out!
Draw the lightning down!
Stand up, strowler!
Turn this world around!
