cora does OVFF




Cora finds love in Columbus, OH.
Pictured here: Cora with Amanda Snyder's Mouse.



Got home from OVFF last night. Still somewhat braindead and need to catch up on e-mail and workstuff, so I'll post more con highlights in Blatherings later.

I thought that going for five days instead of three would make it easier to good-bye to people at the end of the weekend, but I was wrong. Geez, I hate good-byes. And what a wonderful convention! Thanks to the concom for all their hard work, and the guests were all fantastic (again, more details and photos later this week).




Cora and Paul Kwinn.


Here are some Livejournal OVFF con reports that I've found so far, if you're interested:

allisona
cosmo
peteralway and here too
beige_alert
Jim Poltrone
Kyttn (includes link to photo album with a bunch of shots from our kids' concert!)
jalapenoman
ladymondegreen
zencuppa
theo_knight
jhayman

Several people have asked if I can post all my pics online. Unfortunately this is impossible because of lack of space and time (editing), not to mention the fact that the repetitive mousework is tough on my tendinitis, but I will be posting a few favourites here and also in the Flickr Filking photo group. Please note that only members can view photos (basic membership is free).




Cora and Beckett Gladney.


Urban Tapestry was honoured (and quite floored) to receive the Pegasus Award for Best Performer this year. And congrats to Jodi for her Best Filk Song Pegasus for "The Lady"! Congratulations also to the other Pegasus winners:

Best Classic Filk Song
Ladyhawke! by Julia Ecklar

Best Writer/Composer
Kathy Mar

Best Comic Book Song
Arthur Curry by Rand Bellavia and Adam English

Best Tribute
A Simple Country Doctor by Matt Leger

I'll post some personal con highlights in the next few days. Meanwhile, here are some more photos from Cora's first OVFF:
