Dragon*Con Filk
Jun. 27th, 2007 08:32 pmThis was confirmed on the phone today, so I guess I can spill.
I'm the new Filk Track Director for this year's Dragon*Con.
What this means is that I program the filk concerts. I need to speak to the Boogie Knights and the Bards; I also have been in communication with Grant of Throwing Toasters. And a few of you have expressed interest. Usually the filk concerts at Dragon*Con are an hour, but I suspect some folks will work much better in a half-hour, which also gives us more concerts. ;)
I believe I will have input on the concourse concerts; I'm also working to set up a Big Comedy Concert, which I am doing everything I can to get on Sunday afternoon. And, when I say big, I ain't kiddin' around. It's gonna be FuMP-tastic PLUS, with Rob Balder, The Great Luke Ski, Worm Quartet, Possible Oscar, Paul and Storm, and more. Heck, even I might throw a few songs around.
It is also my extraordinary pleasure to announce that the Filk GOH for Dragon*Con this year will be... Carla Ulbrich! (Who, by the way, is getting married this coming Saturday to the equally spiff Joe Giacoio -- congratulations!)
Whew. It's been a long time setting some of this stuff up, but I think it'll all work out now.
