azurelunatic: "LJHS Computer Club: basically, we rule the goddamn planet" (LJHS computer)
I have been honing my Google-fu over the weekend by Googling up various filksongs, generally by listening to the lyrics, picking out a bit or two that are likely to be the way they're written and distinctive, putting those in as strings, and then putting either "lyrics" or "filk" in as well. The trick is doing this at speed with songs you've never heard before, in time to join in for more than just the chorus.

And once I've found it, I can save the link (and maybe even the lyrics) on LJ, so I won't have to go digging around dreadfully much more.

One of the truly boggling moments was Sunday night, when someone requested a song from Leslie Fish, Leslie couldn't remember quite what she'd called it (and therefore how to find it in her songbooks) and I was sent off to Google to retrieve the name, armed with the artist and a few words. I found it, of course. (There was this anecdote about a very small kid struggling with the chorus of the Fisher Chant on a train, cheerfully repeating "Today one of us will die!" and the attendant unsettlement of those people who weren't aware of the song...)

Filksicles!

...and then I have a very amusing interlude writing collaborative randomness with [livejournal.com profile] tamtrible and [livejournal.com profile] lord_maahes, and I think that there's serious potential for this con. Only half of everyone left when the Leslie Fish concert was over! That does not make me the happy, because people for filk circle are good!

Aha! Filk circle is attracting people! We might actually fill up the bulk of the chairs! Whee!!

Commentary from the concert:
Leslie Fish in concert! Hooray! She was my actual introduction to filk in Carmen Miranda's Ghost.
Naomi likes Leslie Fish. (Oh dear.)
Leslie Fish has cats to give away. Maybe Heather and I can use a cat? Um, not in the studio dear.
Note to self: invite a friendly spirit inside computers.
Always inward-turning
Homeward star is brightly burning
The slightly telepathic backup guitarist. Perfect adaptation for the position!
filksicle!

Does a filk circle count as a grown-up game of musical chairs?

Sang "Goodnight, Demon Slayer." Could use lots of rehearsal on the verses, notably, the tune. Hooray

OMG. Steve Irwin is dead. Yes, I made sure that the address was good by going to the parent site.

It seems that Naomi has inherited most of Dagger and Marah both. Dear me. This could become scary!

It is good that crying children can be rushed out to avoid disruption of the festivities.
"And if you try shoving a kazoo up one of my dinosaurs, we're going to have a little talk!" -- [livejournal.com profile] cadhla to Leslie Fish, apropos of the "That's Just Wrong" type award Leslie got once, featuring a kazoo shoved into the groin of a stuffed Barney, and [livejournal.com profile] cadhla's cuddly stuffed velociraptor that the guy with the guitar got to hug.
"It's probably easier to pretend to be her if you're wearing her underwear." -- [livejournal.com profile] cadhla to the guy with the kids, the beard, and the hat.
"Nothing says love like a go-go girl in a cage." "Will there be spiders?" "..."
