Filk you! No, filk you!

[ursuscelticus]

So angilong convinced me to hang out at Conflikt I Saturday evening. Got to see S.J. Tucker again (and tried not to get all fanboy on her afterwards), and some other folks, and hung out for open filking afterwards. It was a blast. Now, it seems that this filking thing is actually something I've been doing for *years* and just never realized it. As I left Saturday night, a filk was writing itself in my head. I'd had plans to go see lady_equine this afternoon, but she called to tell me that it had started snowing horribly where they were and warned me not to come. With the afternoon free, I decided to go back down to the filk con, where more fun was had, and the filk that was writing itself in my head was finished enough to the point that I later stood up in open filking and sang, in public, the following:

(To the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean")

I went to a filk con last weekend
My girlfriend said she'd like to go
So I drove all the way down to Renton
To check out this strange filking show

And what did I find when I got there?
A circle of filk-singing geeks
Singing songs about zombies and werewolves
How did I end up with these freaks?

CHORUS:
Conflikt, conflikt, you've turned me into a fen!
Conflikt, conflikt, I think that I'll come back again!

Yeah, I pre-registered for Conflikt II next year and plan to attend the whole thing. Let the fun and filk begin!
