The local filk group held another gathering—we really enjoy this. We didn’t bring our guitars—we just haven’t had time to play at all, given the pace of work, but we sang and had a good time. Adding to the enjoyment Patty and Mike (Briggs) came up from southern Washington, and we haven’t seen them in way too long! They sing and Mike plays, and plays very well, too! Shar was there—she’s going to be a filk GOH at one of the Baltimore conventions upcoming. It was so nice to see everybody. The musical side of sf is just a lot of fun, and we bask in the unaccustomed glory of having been out of it so long (we’re filk antiques) that most of the people haven’t heard all of the songs we play!
