It's stuff like this that reminds me of why I like filk so much more than dementia music, and why I'd like to visit Phoenix again. I miss both the SCA out there, and living close to Leslie Fish, and all her singing and wild stories at cons, as well as creating more history. There was one con with her and Joe Bethancourt out by the pool with guitars, and in the con suite was Wilson "Bob" Tucker teaching people how to SMOOOOOTH.
Then there were the WorldCons in 1991 and 2000 where Leslie remembered me, and I became her personal gopher within 2 minutes, reminiscing about the "good old days", and filking in freight elevators, and the Blizzard of '71, and the Chicago Democratic Convention, and the Wobblies, and our friend Ozzie, her work as a roadkill pickup and snake handler in Phoenix, gun control and anti-smoking laws, and all sorts of crazy things.
Fun times! :D
I've only been to a couple of FilkOntario, and I love the Dead Dog Filk at Duckon. I've had few things besides filk house parties that I like so much. I'm loving it at ren faire, where at the end of the day, all the random musicians come to perform random stuff down by the ship, and I've got the perfect seat AND getting paid for it! :D
