Home from MarCon

[filkertom]

Home again, home again, jiggety jig. And... frickin' wow.

Even though I ended up being extremely tired through most of it (my own fault, I had that durn preview CD-R to finish, but it was worth it), this year's MarCon was a blast and a half. The list of Many, Many Thanks To... is long, and certainly incomplete:

• Con Chair Kim Williams, Filk Coordinator Trace Hagemann, Guest Liaison Gloria Can'trememberherlastname, Melissa Glasser and her husband Dan, and everyone else with the con and with the hotel
• Larry Niven and Steve Jackson, for their kindness and friendship
• Animal X, for advanced costume wizardry and just deigning to breathe around us heterosexual males
• all of you who were there at the party Friday, at the concert and open filk Saturday
• the exquisite Judy Miller, who interpreted my concert wonderfully in American Sign Language, and only got messed up once briefly during "Five Years" (I loff dooink dat to herr)
• my darlings dubheach and sylverwolfe and janet_coburn and surakofb5 and braider and Juanita and Barry & Sally and Bill & Brenda and Moonwolf and John and Kevin for god's sake Dockery and Christy & Pat (& George & Grant) and Chris and Ray and Larry & Sally and Yonni and billroper and daisy_knotwise and so many others (and apologies to the ones I didn't get to speak to, but I will catch you next time, I promise)
• The Great Luke Ski, who joined me onstage for "Cthulhu Fthagn"
• Ookla the Mok, for general kewlness and for the great signage at the dealer's room table we shared (and Debbie and Kelly, who helped us at the table)
• Fandom in general and MarCon in particular, just for being the kind of place where, as huskiebear put it, "you can see a moon rock and then go ten feet and see the Batmobile"
  
• huskiebear and Anne, who keep me sane, who shared with me one of the biggest weekends of my life

And the very bestest part of all was that so many of my friends were there. My people, my tribe, my family.

I love the hell out of you all.

I adore the name of that cooki- er, chocolate delivery system. And, Duck is gonna be one hell of a music party this year, innit? I can't wait.
