Busy week to post birthday wishes in...

...what with these being the Songbird's last few days in town, work, errands and one thing and another, so I missed yesterday's birthday person, slipjig. Please accept profuse apologies and my hope that your natal day was splendid.

G minus 1 day and counting: Who's still coming? Who's not? Who's already here?

Sad news came a couple days ago: filkertom will not be able to attend GAFilk 11, which starts tomorrow, due to unspecified last-minute problems. His songs must be sung, and much strong drink quaffed, and great sides of barbecue-sauce-slathered meat consumed in his name. (Daily play-by-play will be provided; watch this space.)

In other news, our Interfilk Guest osewalrus, having had his program-book-bio problem handled, is winging his way here from Las Vegas and the annual Computer Electronics Show (CES) earlier this week. Some people are just gluttons for punishment, I guess. :-)

Anyone else planning to be here, or already arrived from out of town? The move-in is likely in progress even as we type, but the Songbird and I may not be able to help as she needs time to do last-minute stuff since she must fly home to Kenya on Sunday. And if you're within a reasonable drive or other transport, have the financial means and don't have anything better to do with your weekend, why not bomb on down here and sing with us?
