I just love girls with really big…..vocabularies.

Everyone else posted links to Jonathan Coulton’s “First of May”, a song I truly love, so I figured I didn’t need to. But then redaxe posted THIS, and I had to share it.
NSFW, obviously:
I take a pause this morning to remember two friends, both of whom are gone from our lives far too soon.
Canadian filker John Caspell passed away suddenly, while recovering from a motorcycle accident. I wish I could say I knew him well, but I never really got the chance. But he was always a warm and friendly presence at any convention I saw him at, and I will miss hearing him in circles. He was very dear to many people who are dear to me, and I will miss him.
Fantasy author Tom Deitz was one of the first people I met when I moved to Athens in 1989. He was an old college friend of stars_and_magic, and was a fixture at the frequent parties and gatherings we attended. He suffered a heart attack some weeks ago, and never fully recovered. He had a very wry sense of humour that I always appreciated.
Well, not *that* young, but…
I mentioned in my last post that I found I still had a large assortment of Gafilk photos to upload. When I actually set about doing this, I was astonished to discover that not only did I have Gafilk photos I had never uploaded, but in fact photos from last year’s OVFF as well. So I’ve gone through them all, cleaned them up a bit, and uploaded them for your enjoyment:
Ohio Valley Filk Festival 2008
Georgia Filk Convention 2009
There are a lot fewer photos from Gafilk this year, because I spent most of the weekend running around putting out little fires, but I did manage to get to a couple of concerts with my camera. (I attended bits of other programming, I just didn’t have the lens with me.)
