GAfilk personal highlights continued...



Bill Sutton.


- Seeing Carla Ulbrich again.

- Being there when Rand introduced Joe G. to Scott Snyder, and the ensuing guitarfest.

- Hearing Scott Snyder do "Media Momma", one of my personal favorites.



Christo.


- Watching Gary Ehrlich's face as I gradually approached him in the open filk circle, flute poised over my shoulder like a club, as he sang a New Arms For Debbie-O. :-)

- Chatting with Amanda Snyder at the Suttons' while the others were working or shopping.



Scott Snyder.


- Kisses from Zoë.

- Hall chat with Gretchen and Bill Roper.

- Hearing Becca Allen sing anything.



Menu from The Waffle House (I had never been
to a Waffle House before).


- Seeing Rand drop his pants for Interfilk (photo from Terence's GAfilk photo collection).

- Adam as an Interfilk wench.



Howie and Bill during the closing ceremonies


- Bill Sutton in his black cowboy hat, leather jacket and shades. Wish I had thought to take a picture. :-(

- Dancing at the Saturday night banquet. Seeing Chris Conway leap into action on the dance floor when they started playing "The Alien Jellyfish Song." I don't know how to dance and don't usually do it in public, but I couldn't resist because of the wonderful music and the people who were there. :-)



Interfilk quilt.


- The Interfilk auction, always entertaining and inspiring.

- Second breakfast with Rob, Larissa and Heather.

- Finding out that Andrea Dale's water had broken during my last day in Marietta (Amanda saw it on LJ). Much excitement!



Joe Raftery.


I loved the fact that programming did not start until noon. This served two purposes, as far as I was concerned: it gave me the option to sleep in if I wanted without fear of missing anything, and also the option of more hanging out time if I woke up early anyway (which was usually the case).



Persis, Terence and Erica.


LOVED the relaxacon atmosphere of the convention. Sometimes I attended the programming, sometimes I lounged about with friends... there was never any pressure to do either.

One of my favorite activities during the convention was to wander through the hallways, stopping by various pockets of conversation, dropping by different filkrooms and listening for a song or two before moving on. You really get a sense of the whole convention that way: the people, the music, the atmosphere.



The Suttons' cat, Furball


Can't wait until next January. :-)

For those who missed them, here are some GAfilk Blathering entries that I've already posted:
