I flew out on Thursday to Toronto for FilKONtario, the annual Toronto Filk convention. (For those reading via Facebook, I'll point you to a definition or two of filk courtesy of FilKONntario and [livejournal.com profile] madfilkentist respectively).

What I did this (long) weekend... )
[Mostly typed on the plane home]

I am in possession of 10 copies of [livejournal.com profile] mysticfig and [livejournal.com profile] kaath9's excellent new SF/fantasy classic rock parody album, "Grated Hits", wearing my hat as mostly-retired filk dealer. Actually, I have 11, but you can't have the 11th, it's mine!

If anyone in the UK wants a copy, they can either reply here and tell me they'd like one brought to the SWiGGLe for cash, or (marginally preferred, since I have to Paypal Jeff the proceeds), they can use this here handy button:



Grated Hits: Jeff and Maya Bonhoff

As promised to [livejournal.com profile] andpuff. I'm sure that some of my guitar-teaching friends can add a few more nice easy acoustic blues licks to this collection!

I dunno how long it's going to take me, but I'm aiming to visit all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums before I run out of time :D

So far:
WhenWhereWhoSwagCompany
6 July 1994 Metrodome, Minneapolis, MN TOR 4 MIN 5 None Anne, [livejournal.com profile] greylady & son
18 June 2008 US Cellular Field, Chicago, IL PIT 2 CWS 8 generic White Sox t-shirt, logoed baseball no-one
5 August 2009 Tropicana Field, Tampa, FL BOS 4 TB 6 Jason Bartlett number/name t-shirt, kids logoed baseball and bat Anne, James, [livejournal.com profile] plaid_dragon, [livejournal.com profile] losthismarbles
13 April 2010 Rogers Center, Toronto, Canada CWS 8 TOR 7 (F/11) Vernon Wells number/name t-shirt, logoed baseball [livejournal.com profile] hofdave

Stats so far:


AL games seen: 4
NL games seen: 0
Interleague games seen: 0
Team seen most: White Sox, Blue Jays (2 each)
Extra innings games: 1
Total home runs: 16 (including one by Kirby Puckett)
Domed stadiums: 3

Of course, I shall have to visit 31 now, since Target Field has replaced the Metrodome: as a Twins fan, I shall probably leave that till last to bookend the list.

I guess you can expect to see me at a few strategically placed US cons sometime soon :D
