was mostly spent hanging out with someone 300 miles away.

When I wasn't IMing with fiddledragon, I was filking or talking with tarkrai, folkmew, or bercilakslady. This was a very good con for open filking, with many excellent performers. The concerts were also wonderful — especially folkmew's, which spoke right to where I was, leading off with "Give Yourself to Love" and remaining perfect throughout. Thank you.

During tarkrai's concert — also excellent throughout — I shticked while he performed my Pegasus-nominated "Dragon for Sale". Meanwhile, huddled around a cellphone in Pennsylvania, fiddledragon, ccommack, sinsofthedove, crystalpyramid, and company couldn't quite make out the words, but it's the thought that counts, right?

In addition to debuting recent songs already posted in this journal, a number of instafilks happened. One is going to grow into a complete song, and so will not be presented until it is done, but, as for the others...

starless_knight hayesed out a little on (an otherwise flawless, as usual, performance of) vixyish's "Girl That's Never Been", and I wrote:

Save me, save me, I've lost my memory
I don't know the words to this song
Save me, save me, that's not the right melody
And I swear that I'm getting it all wrong

Later, in response to the staticky hotel, and my solution thereto, in a jazz motif:

You've got to take off your shoes to stay grounded
Keep yourself bound to the Earth
Don't get caught up in the shuffle —
I tell you it just isn't worth it
Baring your sol can mean losing control
And some dream of making a mark
But it's wiser, my friend, to tread lightly, 'cause then
You need never fear losing your spark

I really like the static insta. It sounds deep if you don't know what it's about, which is an amusing quality. :)

Sounds like it was a good con.
