Courtesy of hms42, here are the winners of the 25th annual Pegasus Awards, issued last night at the 24th annual Ohio Valley Filk Fest in Dublin, OH. (Apparently there were Pegasi even before there was OVFF; don't blame me, I counted the years of awards given on their own website.)

• Best Comedy Song: Daniel Glasser, "Close Your Eyes"
• Best Tragedy Song: Cynthia McQuillan, "Black Davie's Ride"
• Best Writer/Composer: Seanan McGuire
• Best Performers: Tony & Vixy
• Best Classic Filk Song: Talis Kimberley, "Archetype Cafe"
• Best Filk Song: Andy Eigel, "Uplift"

And the really cool thing? Almost all the winners are on my friends list. Congratulations to vixyish, tfabris, cadhla, talis_kimberley,filker0 and all the rest, (including, sadly, posthumous congratulations to Cynthia, who died in January 2006). And for those who have not won previously: Welcome to the club!

Seanan was speechless again when she was announced.

I am glad to hear Uplift FINALLY got the award it deserved. I knew it was going to happen, just when was unknown.

Also a fun laugh with Uplift, next year, it would have been eligible for the Classic Filk category.

OVFF skipped what would have been its second year (1985), but there were still Pegasus Awards that year. Not sure when or where they were given out.

Confirmed; there was no OVFF in 1985. But no record of the awards exist. Sounds like a job for the Old Fart Filkers out there.

I think Andy still has an LJ at andreweigel. But he doesn't post regularly. He's been busy owning and running Roxx Coffee & Gaming House.
