It's not exactly a con report...
Mar. 12th, 2007 02:15 pmLast night, late, I got back from Dave Alway's Memorial Fen and Filk. I sat down to write a few words about it this morning and it got long. ( Like six pages long. )
One thing that struck me about this event was that it seemed to me it was an opportunity to stitch the two halves of Dave's life, family and filking, together. The filkers present certainly gave a good demonstration of what filking is like, and what performing for a filk circle is like, to any of Dave's family who might be interested. I don't know if anything will come of it, but that's okay. It is enough that it happened, and I was glad to be part of it, and grateful for the opportunity that Dave's family gave us to join in remembering him.
