Friends, MOO cards, PBA filk documentary

Jeff, Ray and I had a wonderful time at Doors Open yesterday; I'll post some pics soon. Meanwhile, here are some photos and links I've been wanting to post on Blatherings:

Parki and me


Above: Jeff took this photo of Parki and me at Weber's. We were coming back from the cottage, and he was setting out on the first leg of his cross-country motorcycle trip.

Below: a postcard from Austra, sent to Urban Tapestry from our friends Ju and Anke. Juliane Honisch, by the way, has a book contract with a German publisher!

Postcard from Austria


Below: I've been having fun handing out my MOO cards, and will need to re-order a new batch soon. Here are two improvised MOO containers. On the left: A "Little i" mint container (Jeff removed the mirror inside to make room for the cards). On the right: An Umbra container I bought for a few bucks in a Black's photography store.

Below: Jeff, Ray and I had brunch at Le Petit Dejeuner in Toronto yesterday, and I found myself sitting beside this gorgeous lily.

Allison and Jodi are coming over for a recording session. We're hoping to record "Hey, J.K." plus some of our other newer songs.

Links O' The Day



PBA's documentary on filk music: A video filmed at GAfilk earlier this year in Atlanta. Apparently this video's been online for a while but I missed seeing it because I'm always so behind in my blog-reading. Thanks to Walter for the link!

5 Most Outrageous Inventions Ever: thanks to Jim Bowlin for this link.

How To Calculate Your Age By Chocolate: thanks to Andrea Dale for this link.

The most interesting and amazing houses from the world, from Amazing. Some of these are TRULY bizarre! :-)

Where to find recorded samples of filk online: Filk FAQ has been updated. Reminder to filkers: to make sure your reply can be easily accessed in the FAQ, please post on the FAQ page, not in LJ, thanks!
