Concertino recap
I have been filking at fannish events for almost 18 years now, (My first exposure to live filking was Noreascon III, but that’s another story) but this was my first, “Filk Con.” I feel like I fell in love with about 75 people at the same time.

• The “Encore” game on Friday set the mood for the weekend beautifully.
• It was interesting having everyone watching me at Daniel Glasser’s concert. (It was my first time hearing “Close your Eyes”.) I later got the pleasure of watching other people hear it for the first time.
• I loved the “Yoga for Filkers”
• What can I say about my first Interfilk Auction? In spite of the fact that I lost on everything I bid on {most of it to Faeryn :p ;) } somehow I didn’t mind too much, and had a good time anyway.
• Mike I swear I never saw those lyrics before, you just wrote it so well that they were easy to pick up, in real time, across the room; I’m starting to scare me actually. I will say that my favorite song of yours this weekend was “Halfway There” (It was also the most painful for me, but I digress).
• Got away with only spending $175.00 in the dealers room. {Which is easier when you aren’t paying for a hotel room.}
• I had several really great conversations, with too many people to list them all, so

Thank you all for being my first.

And me. That was scary :)

I will say that my favorite song of yours this weekend was “Just One Chance” (It was also the most painful for me, but I digress).

That's 'Halfway There' - the song it references in verse 1 is 'Just One Chance' ("...the song it plays/is one I haven't heard before...") which I didn't do cause it really needs a rock band :)

Glad you had fun. :)

Fixed the entry, I knew it was one those 2 titles, blame the coin.

It's hard to leave the world of the filk convention. I agree with the 'falling in love with about 75 people at once' feeling. Filk cons are home. I hope they always stay that way.

My favorite quote to explain it comes from the song, "I'm going to go back there someday" by Gonzo the Great (written by Paul Williams).

"There's not a word yet, for old friends who just met."

Strangely enough, that's exactly where my brain always goes. Our group has been planning to cover that when we go to England.

Especially since [info]batyatoon can do the Gonzo voice.
