I'm humming this one...

Less than a week before #OhioVallyFilkFestival. I wish I could've gotten pics of the stuff I'm bringing for my ride so we knew, but it's still a bit cumbersom when you can't see. #Filk #filking #FilkMusic

The hotel’s carpet employs a disturbingly horrific #Lovecraft motif that invokes Cthulhu.

“Filk” is science fiction and fantasy folk singing. The etymology of ‘filk’ is from a typo in fandom’s dim and distant past.

Instead of a Black Friday, we have a Yellow one!
My wife and I are back at ChambanaCon, an SF & fantasy convention in nearby Normal IL.
This is a relaxacon, with the emphasis on reconnecting with 'just like' family, friends, and filking.
And the best con suite bar none!
