This was Z's third GaFilk. He did a great job being quiet when he was in the filk room with me during the afternoon, interspersed with running back to the quilting area to hang out with another family and watch videos. Then, when he saw me go up for my turn at the 2x10s, he decided he wanted a turn, too! So I asked Rob, and since they were ( ( Read more... )

Since Aaron and I aren't going to GaFilk this year, I was a little bummed about not getting to hear my favorite con house band play. Play it With Moxie is pretty darn unique in the world of cons. There are plenty of filk bands out there, but how many cons have a *house* band, a group of musicians from two states and two *countries* that get ( Read more... )

After dragging ourselves out of bed in time to check out, we walked across the street for a delicious Waffle House breakfast of grease with fried grease (there go more WW points). We got Scott on the shuttle in good time, then shuffled blearily back into the main filk room for a bit ( Read more... )

When asked by any visitor, "What is there to do in Atlanta?" the first thing that comes to mind is, of course, the Center for Puppetry Arts. Who wouldn't want to visit the site of the famous Wankidu legend?

Unfortunately, I couldn't show tygerr the place where it all began, because the actual theater is closed when there's no show going on. But we ( Read more... )
