Housefilk report
MY, that was lovely. First guest arrived shortly after 4 pm Saturday. Last guest departed around 3:30 pm Sunday. We got ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
joyslin, sandy_tyras with Gerry, Rhiannon, and Shawn, tmc4242, and faxpaladin, as well as selenite and myself. We filked and talked and sang and told stories and sang and talked and played music and and and... I sang a lot. I sang three of my own filks, including two brand new ones. Joyslin, who knows I love to sing Butterbug Blues with Joe and will do it at the drop of even a virtual hat, asked for it, bless her. Joe showed off his new guitar. Heck, we even got Karl to sing a couple of songs.
The kids were napping during the beginning of things, then came downstairs and socialized for a while, then had dinner, then were banished to play upstairs where we let them get into rooms and toys they don't usually have to keep their attention, then put to bed. That worked out pretty well, I think.
We served lasagna and chicken alfredo for dinner [1], with caesar salad and two kinds of garlic bread. Also chocolate and lots of chocolate chip cookies.
Although I did take the opportunity to use my new filk song book picked up at FenCon to sing "Stop Singing Ose or I'll Kill You", it really was unneeded, as we were singing lots of silly stuff like I like best. Like "Plastic Vorlon", that was hilarious. Todd playing the mp3 of "Online Religion". Joyslin singing along with me on several Tom Lehrer songs. I sang my new Firefly filk, and when Joe got here he sang his, which he described as a future environental awareness anthem, OWTTE.
It was excellent. I didn't get to bed until 4 am. I am so brain fried!
We need to do this more often. I got housefilks restarted here last year by insisting on throwing a housefilk birthday party for myself. (and then it went for several months before stopping again.) Well, there are four filkers locally, Karl, me, Sandy, and Joe who all have birthdays in January - and Margaret Middleton, Arkansas filker who wants to come out sometime, has hers then too. So I was talking with Joe before he left about throwing the Second Annual Traditional Birthday Party Housefilk Bash in January.
So, Sandy? Margaret? What do you think?
EDIT: Now with Pictures!
[1] For those who are thinking "who is that and what has she done withcelticdragonfly, no I did not cook those from scratch. I did, however, burn my right hand on the stove element. Ow. selenesue and patgund, you may fuss at me now.
