Marcon was way fun! There was so much filk programming, that you could do nothing but filk if you liked (like a Filk Con) but there were other panels on other subjects on the side. I didn't get to much that wasn't filk. Tom Smith, Alexander James Adams, Wild Mercy and Amy McNally gave great concerts. I really enjoyed watching Judi Miller sign Wild Mercy's Concert. I had fun at the filk circles and got to trot out my song for Iron Kissed, plus _Mighty Good Magics_ , and _Ghost Ship of Diamond Shoals_. And I wrote a new song, an answer to one of the songs from Alec's concert.
In other news, I took my Kindle to the con. Donald ended up reading from it most of the time. I didn't get much chance to show it to anyone else, but that's okay. It came in very handy on the way down, when I could find directions on MapQuest when we got lost, and very handy on the way back when I found us an Outback in Lexington to have dinner at. Maybe this is old news to owners of web-capable cell phones, but the idea of being able to reach the web in a moving car is new and special to me.
I got three CDs (_Hello Stranger_, _Wintertide_, and one of Tom Smith's) three books, and two SG1 patches, and that was pretty much the limit of my discretionary cash.
I tried to give blood, but that didn't work out so well when everything went grey and I fell asleep on the lounger. I don't think they got a whole pint, but they let me keep the T-shirt anyway.
Oh, and I also wrote a song, an answer to one of Alec's about a selkie who falls in love and gives his sealskin away.
