1: Why filk?
I love music, and love singing, but once I moved away from the church where I was in the choir, I didn't really know any other people who liked to sing. I found filk through a concert and some tapes at a Boskone long, long time ago. I didn't find out about filksings until many years later, and when I did it was a wonderful thing, even though I stayed shy and didn't actually sing where anyone could hear me for a long time!
2: What accomplishment are you most proud of?
Odd as it sounds, learning to deal pretty comfortably with people in general.
3: I can't remember hearing you sing. Is it because of my bad memory of the sensory overload of a filk con, or is it because you always end up in a different circle, or is it because you are a listener?
I sing along on things a lot, but I think you mean on my own? I do sometimes, but it's mostly at the housefilks so you probably wouldn't have heard me. I'm also not a night owl, so I rarely stick around long at the OVFF circles. I'm perfectly willing, if you ask some time. I'm still rather shy in many ways.
4: What is your role in running GaFilk?
I am currently treasurer, though I started out as sort of a general "tell me what you need done and I'll do it" person. That may have been a mistake, as eventually the answer to that turned out to be "take over as treasurer"!
5: What is the silliest thing you have ever done?
Um, there are a lot of small silly things, but silliest? Neither ACat or I can think of a good silly story. On the other hand, arguably marrying ACat was the silliest since we're both silly people and we certainly encourage that in each other.

Date: 2007-02-26 08:13 pm (UTC)I used to go to or through Atlanta fairly often on business, but that was several years ago. Lately, I keep getting sent to Dallas. Generally with no transportation or time to actually visit with the Texasfilk crowd. Employers- they just don't understand what's important!
And I know that whenever you guys make it to New England, you've got huge numbers of people to visit- but still- always welcome up in Nashua. And we've got loads of room now, for houseguests and for filking.
