Torcon, Day 3

An enthusiastic "thank you" hug from a Kidfilk panel attendee


Only time for a very short Blathering today. Great fun at Torcon so far, though somewhat hectic. Not taking nearly as many pictures as I usually do at a convention, partly because the concert venues don't have the greatest lighting for photos (and my flash sucks).

Hey, I got to see our CD for the first time! Thanks to Lyanne Quirt for bringing one to the Folk Performers' Circle; I admit I rudely grabbed it out of her hand in my excitement. Allison, Jodi and I got our own copies partway through the panel when Bill Roper came in with a small box of them. :-)

Yesterday's personal highlight:

Doing the children's filk panel with Peter Thomas (and his wife/girlfriend (?) -- I apologize for not reading her nametag properly), and Eloise Beltz-Decker. This was WAY fun, and we actually did have a lot of children in the audience! By the end of the panel, they were all dancing around and singing while Allison led a very rousing version of "Rattlin' Bog".

As I was putting my flute away after, I felt a pair of small arms wrap themselves around my legs from behind. Looking down, I saw a little girl (see photo above) beaming up at me. Her mother told me her daughter really enjoyed our panel. I start chatting with the girl but she didn't say anything, just beamed some more and hugged even tighter. I finally had to gently manually disengage her. She was SO cute. :-) :-)

Apologies for lack of details, must go.
