Post-FKO

Back from FilKONtario, sleep-deprived but happy. A truly wonderful weekend for so many reasons. Many thanks to those of you who came up during the convention and said that you were glad that things turned ok for me re: last week -- I truly appreciated it.

Kudos to the concom for an amazing time; not only were the guests and guest performances fantastic (more on this later), but it was heartwarming to see how the convention and its people embraced the celebration of two of their own: Sue Posteraro is now Sue Jeffers, the wife of Tom Jeffers! Many heartfelt congrats to Sue and Tom.



My friend Dave Clement is coming to visit, so I likely won't be posting a con report for a little while. For those interested in seeing pics of the wedding and the rest of the convention, however, feel free to visit my FKO Flickr set -- I'll gradually be uploading more photos over the coming week. Allison, Jodi and I were able to arrive at the convention a day early to hang out with friends as well as rehearse with guest musicians, so I've included those photos as well.



Above: Vixy and Tony giving their very first Guest of Honour concert. More on this AMAZING performance later, but right now I just have to rave about their NEW CD, which I can already tell is going to be played many many times in our household over the next while.

Whether or not you're a filker, I strongly urge you to check out Thirteen: Vixy and Tony, the debut CD of Michelle Dockrey and Tony Fabris as a duo. You can hear sound samples on their new MySpace page. In their concert, I was especially delighted to hear a new song, Apprentice (you can hear this on their MySpace page), which is about the Firefly character, Inara.

More about Vixy and Tony in an upcoming Blathering.

Also, congrats to this year's Filk Hall Of Fame inductees: Colleen and Steve Savitsky, and Bob and Annie Passavoy.



Have a great week, everyone!
