Travels with Plink: Conflikt Friday

[mdlbear]

After a day filled with alarums, excursions, and a minimal amount of practice with a recovering cflute, we finally arrived at the hotel mere minutes before the opening ceremonies. In spite of having been assured yesterday that I hadn't reserved a handicapped-accessible room I got one anyway, so no tub baths for me. On the other hand, there are advantages to a huge shower stall with a low sill.

Many hugs, to be passed along to Colleen.

After the concerts I had dinner with cflute and jeffreycornish, and finally made it down to the open filking around 11:30. Stayed until 2am, then spent another half-hour talking in the lobby with carmiel, who I met just as she was getting into an elevator.

What worked best for singing in the circle (I was one row back because I didn't want to go all the way around) was standing up to sing - this not only made me visible but made Plink audible. Win.

When I came in they were doing a blues theme, and I almost immediately got a request for Stuck Here (on a Starship for a Hundred Years Without No Body Blues) -- from Kanef. Wich was immediately followed by a mash-up to the tune of "Mal's Song" (which doesn't seem to be on his website yet. Vixy and I were, of course, reasonably well broken.

Also sang Cicero with Callie on flute, and World Inside the Crystal by request from, I believe, kendaer. (There might have been one more -- I don't remember.
