Filksicles!

[azurelunatic]

...and then I have a very amusing interlude writing collaborative randomness with tamtrible and lord_maahes, and I think that there's serious potential for this con. Only half of everyone left when the Leslie Fish concert was over! That does not make me the happy, because people for filk circle are good!

Aha! Filk circle is attracting people! We might actually fill up the bulk of the chairs! Whee!!

Commentary from the concert:
Leslie Fish in concert! Hooray! She was my actual introduction to filk in Carmen Miranda's Ghost.
Naomi likes Leslie Fish. (Oh dear.)
Leslie Fish has cats to give away. Maybe Heather and I can use a cat? Um, not in the studio dear.
Note to self: invite a friendly spirit inside computers.

Always inward-turning
Homeward star is brightly burning

The slightly telepathic backup guitarist. Perfect adaptation for the position!

Does a filk circle count as a grown-up game of musical chairs?

Sang "Goodnight, Demon Slayer." Could use lots of rehearsal on the verses, notably, the tune. Hooray

OMG. Steve Irwin is dead. Yes, I made sure that the address was good by going to the parent site.

It seems that Naomi has inherited most of Dagger and Marah both. Dear me. This could become scary!

It is good that crying children can be rushed out to avoid disruption of the festivities.
"And if you try shoving a kazoo up one of my dinosaurs, we're going to have a little talk!" -- cadhla to Leslie Fish, apropos of the "That's Just Wrong" type award Leslie got once, featuring a kazoo shoved into the groin of a stuffed Barney, and cadhla's cuddly stuffed velociraptor that the guy with the guitar got to hug.
"It's probably easier to pretend to be her if you're wearing her underwear." -- cadhla to the guy with the kids, the beard, and the hat.
"Nothing says love like a go-go girl in a cage." "Will there be spiders?" "..."

"Cesium's unstable, Amanda!" "That's why I thought you took it!"

There is really no good way to break the news of a death to someone who knew their family...

When my turn came around, I requested a song with creepy-crawlies of some description in honor of the late Steve Irwin, in the fairly reasonable idea that a good way to honor him would be to sing about the critters he loved so much.

I knew that since cadhla shared his liking for unlikely things that go hiss and snap and poke and MUNCH, she would want to know about this. I didn't know/remember that she actually knew his wife back in the day.

I can thank the Bastard, god of things misplaced and out of season, that the thought of making tasteless jokes about it in the filk circle didn't really cross my mind. I reacted in my normal empathic manner to the shock and horror I saw on her face and started losing control of my face in the effort to keep my tone level and calm.

It did not go well. Upsetness was had by all.

The phrase is "pick, pass, or play"

Sang the Vader song, as I just remembered it!

ooo look! My song is on LJ! (I'm the "alien money" guy.) Keeen.

Are you on the local housefilk mailing list, by the way?

[azurelunatic]

I joined up when you mentioned it! (Given that I had the laptop surgically attached to me the whole time...)

Kewl. Time to go maintain the mailing list.
