GAfilk!


Steve Savitsky, Interfilk Guest.


Managed to catch an earlier flight home from Atlanta last night. Dead tired and now in the midst of packing, moving prep AND househunting so it might be a bit before I can post a proper con report. My beloved Talking Edna Doll (a surprise gift from the Suttons, Rob Wynne, Terence Chua!) sits beside my monitor, occasionally making pithy comments.

For now, I'll just say this: THANK YOU to the GAfilk concom for the most relaxing con weekend I've ever had: full of wonderful conversations, listening to music (I actually did pull out my flute and whistle near the very end of the weekend), and dancing. You guys sure know how to throw a party. The guests were all fantastic -- Kathleen Sloan (Guest of Honor), Teri Wachowiak (Toastmaster), Steve Savitsky (Interfilk Guest) and Tanya Huff (Super Secret Guest).

I'll be gradually uploading photos to my Flickr GAfilk 2005 photo page. You can see a thumbnail of the last photo I've uploaded by checking the Flickr photo badge in my navigation bar to the left. If you'd like to see a slideshow of my GAfilk 2005 photos, click here (your browser needs to support Java).

If you have a photo or con report page, please let me know and I'll post it below. Here are the ones I've found so far:

And congrats to GAfilk's guests NEXT year:

Dandelion Wine, GoH
Dave Rood, Toastmaster
Carolyn Brown, Interfilk Guest (woohoo! A Torontonian!)

I'm already making plans to attend. :-)

Other conventions on my roster for this year:

Boskone (Boston, Feb.18-20): Urban Tapestry - Featured Filkers. We'll be be doing a regular concert as well as a children's concert.

FilKONtario (Toronto, Apr.1-3)

FilkContinental (Germany, Sep 20-Oct.2): Urban Tapestry - Guest of Honour! Allison, Jodi and I are also going to be doing some visiting and sightseeing before and after the convention.

Tentative: OVFF (Columbus, Oct.21-23) - Not sure if I'll be going this year, depends on state of my finances after Germany. Allison and Jodi likely won't be attending, either. :-(
