filk [ hms42 ]	5:38p	Filthy Pierre's Microfilk - Now online. With the kind permission (and assistance) of Filthy Pierre, I have digitalized the Microfilk songbook and have put it online for everyone to download. Sorry, no magnifying glass is included with this version. http://www.floatingfilk.com/mp3/microfilk.pdf I don't have a text version, but a partial index of the songs in the songbook is available on madfilkentist's songbook index. http://www.massfilc.org/filkindex/microfilk.xml Feel free to share the link or mirror the file.

filk [ musicahumana ]	4:11p	Some More Filk Info Online Hello, everyone. I posted about a month-and-a-half ago regarding one of the projects I (along with my team) was putting together for my US Music course at U of M Ann Arbor.  Well, it's finally been posted to Youtube.  The final product, while of questionable quality (we were on a tight timeline, and were also a little limited in video footage quantity and quality (blurry)), is fairly fun.  If you'd like to take a look at it, here are the links: Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4NzZ5wy2WM Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsAlE_bKpjM I performed a few interviews on filk for this course, as well.  Here are the links for those transcripts.  (Sorry about the long urls.)  http://sitemaker.umich.edu/livingmusic/browse_interviews&mode=single&recordID=3124571&nextMode=list http://sitemaker.umich.edu/livingmusic/search_interviews&groupSize=1&recordID=3107183&mode=single&sortDirection0=Ascending&column0=keywords&sortColumn0=informantlastname&comparisonType0=contains+%28text+only%29&value0=filk I'd like to thank everyone involved.  I and my classmates really appreciate your help and your willingness to share.  Feel free to email me at jessgetman@gmail.com if you have any questions about these transcripts or the video.  Cheers! Jessica (musicahumana) jessgetman@gmail.com PS - several people requested to remain anonymous.  If a name isn't on the final product, it's because they wanted it that way, not because we were trying to leave them out.  <grin>  Current Mood: Done (3 Comments |Comment on this)
hugo_recommend [ kevin_standlee ]	1:04p	Charlie Stross: "Overtime" Over at tor.com, we find "Overtime" by Charlie Stross, a story about working late at The Laundry. This is one of the most entertaining short stories I've read this year, and it's out just in time for the close of eligibility for the 2010 Hugo Awards. (2 Comments |Comment on this)
filk [ fleetfootmike ]	2:11p	Van Der Filk hotel booking deadline ...is Dec 31. I will be going to the hotel with a list not long after that, so please remember to get your forms in, folks. There will be another reminder between Xmas and the New Year. In the interests of not getting snarled up in the snow and postal issues around Christmas, we /will/ accept hotel bookings by email to vanderfilk@contabile.org.uk, as long as there's a paper copy in the post as well (or you send us a scanned copy of the form).

filk [ were_gopher ]	10:21a	The Gytha tapes and old atari stuff Since it's only a few weeks to Van Der Filk can we please start thinking again about what is to be done with all the tapes and books Gytha left. I would also like to know if anyone wants to give a home to a couple of old Atari ST systems. Working last time I fired them up and come with built in midi. Apart from anything else I want to start thinking about my travel plans and this pile makes the difference between train (which I like to book in advance for cheap tickets) and car.

filk [ msminlr ]	10:09p	Looking for one more roomie for GaFilk Rick Helmich, Jan DiMasi, and I have a room from Friday through Sunday nights and would rather each pay one-quarter of the total than one-third. Prospective roomies must be non-smokers, and should be aware that I snore and Rick uses a CPAP machine. Applicants can contact me at this same username on gmail. (Comment on this)

filk [ madfilkentist ]	5:43p	Filk on Second Life I'm trying to see if some communication among filkers can be stirred up on Second Life. As a modest first step, I'm proposing a gathering at my apartment at Cyldane Towers at 6PM Second Life Time (9 PM Eastern Time) on January 5. You can look me up on SL as GaryM Gartner; check my profile or send me an IM. If you're interested, you might want to join the Filk Fen group. Update: Sorry, I forgot to mention the date before. It's January 5. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

filk [ janmagic ]	6:12p	gafilk transport I find myself without a driving companion to gafilk. i would be coming from chicago and have open travel times. ( i work for myself) I could take more time and drive by myself ( i dont think i fall asleep at the wheel anymore) or fly ( this means no Spot to cuddle and share ) so give me a ping if your looking for a good driving companion or are looking to share a room for gafilk.
