Rule Britannia
Hello from the dead dog (er, dead mouse) filk at the UK Filk Con!We've had a fantastic weekend, we've been treated extremely well by our hosts, and we had great fun at each of our concerts. There were some technical troubles with the sound system during the second concert, but everything got sorted out in the end and everyone enjoyed the set. Some kind compliments from Smac after our second concert gave me a warm fuzzy and meant a lot to me.
For both concerts, though, we had to perform under duress: We both have colds. But Vixy, ever the professional, was able to sing right through her cold and blow everyone away (in the good way). I was able to pull off the counterpoint vocals in Companion, but that's about my limit. There's some doubt whether Vixy will be able to sing at all in tonight's circle; I might read the Blimp story when it's my turn in the Bardic circle, since I can't really sing.
Speaking of circles, Saturday night's filk circle was one of the best filk circles I've ever been in, the quality of the songs and performances were top notch. My favorite moment involved Christo and Tim Walker dueling on recorder Ian Anderson-style. Tonight's circle is going well so far, we shall see if it lives up to last night's standards. I'm told it will. It's looking good so far: Christo just sat down next to us.
Tomorrow we get on the train to King's Cross, then tube to Heathrow, then home, and try to go to work on Tuesday, completely jet lagged. Erk. Wish us luck!
