Many of my friends were in many bands during the 1980's and 1990's, and I liked all and loved some of them. But Cats Laughing was special. They did songs from Emma Bull's novel War for the Oaks. They did a song written by John M. Ford. They did varied and wondrous originals by other band members. They did seriously amazing harmonies. And now they want to have a reunion.

Do take a look. If money is tight, as it is for lots of us, you can become a backer for very little of it. Or for more, if you wish and are able. Neil Gaiman says it's a good idea! David was heavily involved in providing images and in shooting the video, which means my own emotional investment is even higher, but it would be pretty high even without that. If even a little money is too much -- and believe me, I understand that all too well -- boosting the signal is a fine thing to do too.

And here's a YouTube link to "Black Knight's Work," the song they did that Mike Ford wrote. Extra bonus for me: It's a Liavek song, though you don't need to know anything about Liavek to appreciate it.

But where is the stretch goal that has them all in black suits and ties, white shirts, and sunglasses?

Hmmm; we'll keep that in mind, if we start to threaten our current top stretch goal (the concert video).

You would! Just don't go jumping drawbridges or driving through malls, please? You don't have movie magic to protect you!

Ooh! I'm excited - that will really make next year's Minicon extra special. I will support this!
