ConDFW in Richardson, TX: Feb 20-22, 2009
The Dread Pharaoh Roberts:
There will be a program book with a schedule, more than likely. I've never been to ConDFW, but I'd assume the guests will be giving talks and participating in panel discussions along with the autographing.
Mickey Finn:
Ayep. Filking is like Weird Al on ludes.
The Dread Pharaoh Roberts:
Ah, yes, filking. The term was coined at a con where "Folk Singing" was on the program, but with a fortuitous typo. Filking often involves familiar melodies and impressively incorrect lyrics, though there are many original filk tunes that are quite good as well - just with geeky subject matter.
Mickey Finn:
This year will be an odd one. Bob Asprin was not only a master filker, he was a regular guest at the con.
Gman:
Thanks for the info. I figured the basic schedule would be posted on the DFWcon web site. I guess you have to attend or buy a pass in advance to get the schedule.
