Postcards from Germany!

Filkcontinental audience


(Above: I took this photo during our concert at Filkcontinental last year.)

Last year, the members of Urban Tapestry were invited to be guests at Filkcontinental in Germany. As you probably could guess from my online report (Part 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 ), Allison, Jodi and I had a ton of fun and enjoyed making some new friends as well as seeing old ones.

The three of us were kinda wistful a few weekends ago when Filkcontinental reconvened for its annual bash because we wanted desperately to be there (!). We'd all love to go back to Germany someday. Especially NEXT YEAR, when our pals Dandelion Wine are Guests of Honour, woohoo! (or "Juhu" in German I think (?)) Sounds like this year's convention was a huge success, and I'd be surprised if the last few memberships left for NEXT year haven't already been snapped up.

Anyway, in the middle of reminiscing (and rejoicing that Franklin has just agreed to help perform "Wo Ist Der Bahnhof" in our GAFilk concert in Atlanta next January) . . . lo and behold, a package of postcards arrived this afternoon from the castle in Freusberg via Sibylle snailmail!

Allison, Jodi and I are incredibly touched...THANKS, YOU GUYS! (*insert weepy sniffle here*) I'm going to bring the postcards to show A & J at OVFF this weekend. And thank you, Sibylle, who was apparently the fiendish mastermind behind these community postcards! :-)

Hopefully we'll be seeing some of you at some North American conventions to give you hugs in person (like GAFilk, when Summer and Fall are Interfilk guests...yay for Interfilk!), but we're each hoping to make it back to Filkcontinental someday.

And just 'cuz I'm feeling all sentimental, here are a few photos from Filkcontinental LAST year. Also be sure to read Allison's Filkcontinental Nostalgia post in LJ. :-)
