Fatherhood

The girls have each read the Legend of the Shaders comic multiple times and have been big fans of the Harp Twins’ music for years – it gets regular play during class hours.  Their GRCC concerts are only about an hour, but the Twins put on a good show, engage with the audience, and mix some humour into it.  We hit their Friday concert and the Twins made a point of putting the spotlight on Kia and Arwyn because they loved the costumes so much.  The girls said that they felt nervous about it, but also pretty excited.  We also caught up with the artist, K. Lynn (whose various comics I’ve been collecting for years), and the writer, Dirk Manning.  Dirk literally burst out laughing when Arwyn showed him the birdcage with the “invisible owls.”  He clearly remembered the story quite well.

I’m wearing one of my Firefly shirts, “Big Damn Heroes”, and Stacy’s also keeping in the comic con spirit with her Star Wars A New Hope shirt.  The girls, of course, are showing off their Harp Twins costumes!  The harps (made of plywood and foam) have dragon heads on them to match the comic – and, yes, they had strings.  Made of fishing line that carried a tune even worse than I do, but they were there.  😛
