I want to thank everyone for your patience, usually I am much more on the ball than this.

Conflikt Songbook Contributors [Feb. 4th, 2012|02:47 pm]

runnerwolf
If you contributed to this year's (or any prior year's) Conflikt songbook and did not receive a contributor's copy please let me know by PM. I will be sending out the envelopes with the packets on Friday of this week (ie 2/10) so please PM me your snail mail address (or e-mail me at chair at conflikt dot org)

I currently have ones from all prior years sitting in my living room. I am hoping to get all contributor's their copies before the boxes go back in storage for 11 months.

If you know of somewhere else I should post this let me know. I know some people have gotten missed in prior years and want to make sure these get spread to all the correct people.

Conflikt 5 was awesome! [Jan. 30th, 2012|06:42 pm]

[mood |giddygiddy]

This was my 4th Conflikt, and I think it may be my favorite. (Of course, I probably said that about each of them in turn, which just goes to show that they are getting more and more amazing as the years go by. And of course, we's FIVE. That helps!)

Every concert I saw was great, I only regret that I could not be a clone and attend two at once, because there were definitely concerts I wanted to hear that were scheduled at the same time. So much excellent music! more to learn! more songs I want to sing! I especially liked Lookingglass Folk, and not just because Steve and Naomi are friends of mine. I was deeply touched by their music and their message. Ditto Talis Kimberly's concert. I really have to thank Mickey Phoenix for allowing me to learn a whole new phrase in ASL that I hope I can use one day....not in public, however. Plus I'd just like to whack him for spoiling Leonard Cohen for me forever. My own little concert was actually fun for me, and much less scary than singing in a big circle. (Especially since the night before, when I went to sing in the circle, I had a giant brain fart and the melody completely escaped me! argh!)

Scheduling, overall, was really good, and things stayed more or less on time. I found that very helpful. I liked having a Big Filk Room and a Small Filk Room, and a choice as to what I was up for. 

We played the con CD on the way home, and I have been, since sometime last evening, humming or singing aloud the refrain of "Strangers no more, we sing....and sing and sing and siiiiinnng..."

Thanks to the concom and all the volunteers who make this happen. Thanks to the guests who are so talented and gracious and giving. Thanks to the performers who gave of themselves and their music. And thanks to every attendee, for helping to make it amazing, once again.

Talis Kimberley Concert @ Soul Food Books [Jan. 30th, 2012|04:18 pm]

Just a reminder for those still in Seattle, post Conflikt (and if you somehow missed the purple signs at the convention)....  Talis Kimberley is performing at Soul Food Books in Redmond on Tuesday (that's tomorrow) from 7p to 9p PST.  (Adjust for local, if planning to watch over the internet.)

Also, she has a new CD out "Queen of Spindles", which she sold out at Conflikt.  (But can be ordered on her web page AFTER the UK Filk convention this weekend.)  http://www.talis.net

Jeri-Lynn reports, after taking a tumble off the stage:

Yo, internets, I'm ok. My cello didn't fare so well, but people who know seem to think she'll be fairly easily repairable.
