GAfilk part 7 (final): people pics

In my last Blathering, I raved about Play It With Moxie. For those interested, band member Dave Rood has posted an overview of what goes into a performance.

My GAfilk report thus far: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, and here's the final installment...

As you might have guessed by now, I had a ton of fun at GAfilk and there's no way I could possibly go over all the highlights. Rob Wynne has a list of other people's GAfilk reports online.

But here are a few more of my favourite photos. This was the first filk convention where I brought my DSLR, and it was an enlightening experience. Though I'm happy with the pics, it was somewhat more of a hassle to lug around the camera than I expected, mainly because I was paranoid about leaving it unattended, plus it wasn't nearly as easy as my point-and-shoot to catch people by surprise :-). Next time, I will likely bring my point-and-shoot to carry around with me most of the time, and only take the heavier camera for concerts.



The Interfilk auction was fun...it's great entertainment and for a good cause. Thanks to those who bought the paintings I donated to the Interfilk auction, including Dave Weingart for buying "A Quiet Moment," Brenda Sutton for buying my Dirty/Clean dishwasher painting, and especially steviebomb for buying "Perchance To Dream." Thanks also to Rand for buying The Smallest Autobiography Of Jeff Bohnhoff In The World.



Another highlight: finally getting to meet Rob Balder (above right). Rand had mentioned him to me before, and then when I was being interviewed for Comixtalk, Xavier Xerxes asked me if I knew him, since both of us are webcomic people AND filkers. Rob is the creator of PartiallyClips, among other comics. His graphic novel, Erfworld, was listed in Time magazine as one of the Top 10 Graphic Novels (!). Rob is also part of The FUMP (The Funny Music Project).

And here are a few of my favourite people shots taken at GAfilk. They're not technically perfect, but I'm pretty happy with how each captures some of the essence of the subject, or at least how I see them. :-) I'll be posting more GAfilk people pics in upcoming Blatherings now and then.





















Many thanks to the GAfilk guests and concom for helping to make the weekend so successful! And if you've never been to GAfilk, do consider coming next year! Guests of Honor in 2009: Barry & Sally Childs-Helton, Toastmaster: Larry Kirby, Interfilk Guest: Harold Feld.

And as I mentioned at the beginning of this post, there's no way I could possibly list all the highlights. You'll just have to come and see for yourself. :-)
