confluence (part 2)

Continued from part 1, posted earlier today:
One of the many highlights for me from the convention was seeing Tom West and Michelle Sagara West (my friends from university days; I've known them over 20 years) get to know some of my friends I met in the filk community. For a long time, there seemed to be no overlap between my filking and non-filk worlds. This has gradually been changing over the years, I'm happy to say.
Tom, Michelle and Rand chat just before Chris Conway's concert (Steve Brinich in background):
Jodi, Allison and I helping to perform "The Alien Jellyfish Song" in Chris's concert (Pete Grubbs in foreground as sound guy):
We also performed on this track on Chris's Alien Salad Abduction CD, by the way.
Chris was amazing, despite feeling ill. At the end of his concert, my friend Tom (who was the one who introduced me to filk in the first place) turned to me and said, "Thank you SO much for telling us to come to this concert." You can find more information about Chris and his music at www.chrisconway.org/.
The wonderfully entertaining and talented Dan Hart performing an Elvis song in the Kinderfilk on Saturday morning:
Me and John Hall:
Jodi, Allison and I had great fun at the Dorsai room party, by the way. I tried some Tully (sp?) and embarrassed myself by having a small coughing fit.
Jodi performing with Chris in his concert (Pete Grubbs in foreground as sound guy):
Joey got Allison, Jodi and me hooked on this amazing dessert wine:
Loved Dave Rood's concert, and also enjoyed performing with him:
Blade, John Hall and Mary Bertke at breakfast on Saturday morning:
Encounter at Fourpoints (the convention was at the FourPoints Sheraton Hotel), a parody of the first episode of Star Trek The Next Generation:
The Klingon in the picture, third person from the left, is Randy Hoffman. :-) From Randy: "...The cast on stage are (from left to right) Kim Eklund as Datum, Heidi Pilewski as Queue #1, me as Warp, Barb Carlson as Queue #2, Kevin Hayes as Placard, Kira Heston as Toy, April Geiselman (mostly obscured) in a stellar performance as Wisely Cracker, and Tracey Levino as Queue #3."
Chris, Michelle (LOVE her expression in this photo) and Joey:
Chris and Andrea, who finally got to meet in person at this convention:
(to be continued)
