This Weekend: InConJunction

[filkertom]

In Indianapolis. Selected points of interest:

• Wild Mercy has a concert at 8:30 pm Friday.
• I'll be at the Open Filk 10:00 pm Friday, along with Wild Mercy and The Brobdingnagian Bards. Too. Freakin'. Cool.
• I seem to be leading a Harry Potter Singalong at 1:00 pm Saturday. Given that I've only got a couple of Harry Potter songs, I'd better start writing... or vamping.
• My GOH concert is at 4:30 pm Saturday.
• The Bards' concert is at 7:00 pm Saturday. Ostensibly, it segues into the Open Filk. Well, what the hell -- long open filk starting early.

So, who all's gonna be there?

Great. I'll be singing "Dead Potters" all day now.

[per_solo]

Considering I'm in charge of making sure your needs are met, I sure BETTER be there.

Then again...no, won't go there, as it's like daring the universe to mess with me a little more. Suffice to say, I'll be there. May be eating Chili out of a lukewarm plastic container at the con, but I WILL be there.

NEXT year is a completely different story..refuse to commit until I know a little more where my path is going.

What time are you estimated to arrive, so that I may check in with you then?

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Not sure yet. I should be leaving A^2 between 9:00 and 10:00 am tomorrow, so roughly 1:30-3:00 your time (accounting for traffic, construction, etc).

I'm looking up Potter songs online, by the way. A few good ones. :) And a bunch of stuff that should never have seen the light of day....

[per_solo]

*nod* Cool. Hmmm...I THINK the Inconjunction site has a link to traffic reports, if you dont' have your own source. And, be warned, gas was $3.09 down here last night (didn't see this morning), so if you've got cheaper on your way...

*heh* Good...I had an idea last night for a song I was going to ask you about, then forgot this morning. Am hoping I'll jog my memory eventually, but eh...such is life in insanity. Now, to FUN CON insanity.

Have a safe trip!

Hmmm, maybe you better finish that "Amadeus" fragment then?

Some ideas, just off the top if my head...

Not much singable stuff FROM the movies except perhaps that choral arrangement of "Double Double Toil and Trouble". POssibly adaptable for your fabboo synthesizer.

"I'm just wild about Harry"

"De Doo Ron Ron"

"Hermione" scans to the word "Aquarius" but you'd probably come up with something much funnier than I would to "Age of Aquarius" I'm sure.

"I am not dead yet" from Spamalot, since I don't think Dumbledore is really pushing up daisies

"By the time I get to Phoenix" re: Order of the Phoenix

Oh, and some stuff you didn't write but maybe could lead the crowd anyway: http://home.att.net/~coriolan/hpfilks.htm including a link to the "West Side Story" sendup that I liked.

This might keep you busy for a few minutes.

I'm in love with a magical guy,
Not you, Ron, Ron, Ron, not you, Won-Won.
When he's playin' Quidditch, love to watch him fly,
Not you, Ron, Ron, Ron, not you, Won-Won.
Har-ry Potter's fine,
Yeah, gonna make him mine,
Hell with what J.K.R. says,
Not you, Ron, Ron, Ron, not you, Won-Won.

They tell me I'm the brightest witch of my age,
Not you, Ron, Ron, Ron, not you, Won-Won.
So I won't pay attention to the printed page,
Not you, Ron, Ron, Ron, not you, Won-Won.
Gin-ny Weasley's a child,
I know how to drive him wild,
And I'll take the hero home,
Not you, Ron, Ron, Ron, not you, Won-Won.

She's got a bat-bogey hex,
Me, I've got The Joy Of Sex
We are gonna research it all,
Not you, Ron, Ron, Ron, not you, Won-Won.





And I like the Dumbledore Idea.

DAyam. You ARE the world's fastest filker!

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Woulda been sooner, but I was off at the store when you posted. ;)

I am not dead yet,
Though you saw me take the fall,
You were hidden there,
So you could watch it all.
Draco couldn't kill,
So it fell on Snape's head,
Said Avada Kedavra
But I'm not yet dead!

(He is not yet dead,
That's what his portrait said,
Even though you put him
In his final bed,
Just recall his bird,
The one with feathers red --
It's the Order of the Phoenix,
Bet he's not yet dead.)

[dance]

Even though I'm gone,
You can hear me in your head,
Just like Obi-Wan,
Though you're neither Five nor Red,
Hermione and Ron,
Not to mention George and Fred,
Will help you kill Tom Riddle
'Cause he's not yet dead!

And then when you've won,
Maybe I will then return,
Though you won't need me,
All your lessons you have learned,
You're the Boy Who Lived,
There's nothing more to dread,
Go and have a happy ending
'Cause you're not yet dead.
Not...
Yet...
Dead!

Tweaked....

I am not dead yet,
Though you saw me take the fall,
You were hidden there,
So you could watch it all.
Draco couldn't kill,
So it fell on Snape's head,
He cast Avada Kedavra
But I'm not yet dead!

(Well, he's dead or worse,
He went down without a fight,
Took the Killing Curse,
Then a plummet from a height.
Someone call a hearse,
Make his funereal bed,
According to the evidence,
He sure looks dead!)

[dance]

(He is not yet dead,
That's what his portrait said,
Though it all looks bleak,
Though your hearts are full of dread,
Just recall his bird,
The one with feathers red --
His familiar is a Phoenix,
Bet he's not yet dead.)

Who is the man who wanted him gone,
Who's the Dark Lord, the ultimate wanker?

My name is Voldemort,
I kill Mudbloods for sport.
And someday very soon,
I will attack Hogwarts.

I am the Chosen One,
I'll tell you, it's no fun.
But, even if I'm doomed,
I'll win before I'm done.

Even though I'm gone,
You can hear me in your head,
Just like Obi-Wan,
Though you're neither Five nor Red,
Hermione and Ron,
Neville, Luna, George and Fred,
Will help you kill Tom Riddle
'Cause he's not yet dead!

(I'll kill you all,
The Muggle world will fall!
You're cruel, you're crass,
I'll kick your undead ass!)

And then when you've won,
Maybe then I will return,
Though you won't need me,
All your lessons you'll have learned,
You're the Boy Who Lived,
There's nothing more to dread,
Go have a happy ending
'Cause you're not yet dead.
Not...
Yet...
Dead!

I'll definitely be there -- have to, I'm on staff =)

At least this time I was smart enough to not schedule myself for a bunch of activities that prevent me from seeing your shows. Also need another CD to go with the "...Talent" disc I got last year.

Otherwise I'll be watching the Game Room.

[indyellen.livejournal.com]

Obviously I'll be there, since my SO is the Con Chair. ;) I think I'll actually be able to make your concert this year (looks like just the beginning, but I'll take what I can get) - any hopes of hearing "5 Years", which is one of my favorites? :)

I'll be running hither & yon as my "official" title is "girl friday", but I'm sure I'll see you around.

[celticmom1967.livejournal.com]

Matthew the kiddos and I had hoped to attend, but funds being low and the fact we are moving in a couple of weeks make it impossible. HAVE FUN!

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Sigh. OVFF?

[celticmom1967.livejournal.com]

We will be at Worldcon and at DragonCon as well. So we will see you then. YAY!

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Just so you guys know, I Googled "harry potter filk". And found a bunch of 'em.

Oh. My. God.

God love 'em for finding a creative outlet, for sharing their thoughts and dreams and jokes and stuff.

But Oh. My. God.

If we're gonna have a singalong that we're all gonna live through, I've gotta write all night.

I dug Dead Potters. Great seeing ye at InCon!
