Ye olde Conflikt!

[tfabris]

We've got Conflikt this weekend! I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone there again. Although Vixy is the programming chair this year, somehow Vixy & Tony don't have a scheduled concert. Hmph. What good is it having Vixy on the concom if you can't abuse the privilege, I say? Ah well, maybe someone else on the schedule will meet with, shall we say, an unfortunate "accident", which will leave a convenien- er, tragic hole in the schedule. In the meantime, we've got plans to help out other great folks onstage, and of course we'll be at all the open filk circles in the evenings.

We're crazy, though, because we've also been frantically preparing for the UK filk con this week. After we finish up with Conflikt's smoked salmon filk in the wee hours of Sunday morning, we get to have a short nap, then re-pack to get straight on a plane to London! There, we'll be picked up by members of Fleetfoot Mike, who will host us for our first overseas Guest of Honor appearance. We're very excited! And, did I mention, crazy?

There's a certain amount of irony here, though, in that the name "Conflikt" was chosen partly because, when a PNW filk con was first envisioned, it was discovered that no matter which month we chose, it would conflict with another filk-friendly convention on the calendar. We settled on the January/February cusp, because the closest conflicting convention (the UK filk con) was the one that was geographically farthest away. That way, the reasoning went, the people most likely to attend the UK filk con would be different people than the ones most likely to attend Conflikt, and vice-versa.

*pokes you*

If we'd also had a Conflikt concert to be preparing this week, someone would've been set on fire by now. And it might've been YOU.

But you could do pretty much the same concert, since, by previous argument, the likely overlap of your audiences is next to zero.

QED.

:D

Trust me I'm getting the irony. I did have a choice, but flying to the states is so much more complicated than flying to the uk. And I really do want to go home. Just once. Perhaps next year Wayne and I will figure out conflikt. It really sounds like a fun con!

Oh and this way I still get to see you guys (G)

Haha :) Well ... *we* did it, too, this "attending Conflikt one weekend and the UK con the next weekend" thing *g* ... (comes with GoH-ing on one or the other side of the ocean, I'd say :))
So, I can tell you from experience that it is - while crazy - very nicely doable, especially since being on US-time has you in perfect condition for con-time in the UK (i.e. late nights, late mornings) :)
Looking forward to seeing you there! Unfortunately, we come to the con late, we will only show up Saturday late morning. Finance status dictated that we had to cut hotel costs, so we are crashing with Marilisa and David on Friday night and travel up together on Sat early morning.
As for "no concert at a con" ... look at it this way: you can just relax and hang out with folks! Ain't that nice?

oh how I wish I was going to be there this weekend! I had *such* a good time last year! (and once again I curse the Canadian Permanent Resident Card renewal office!!) Ah well, have a blast and sing a browncoat song in circle for me!!

see you at Norwescon!!
