  • Chiflu – Corflu 33
    Progress Report 1 DECEMBER 2015 Chif lu – Corflu 33 Chicago 2016 – May 13-15 Progress Report 2 April 2016 (RIP Art. A trufan and a true friend to us all.) Home Stretch Well here we are one month out from Corflu 2016. This is the "now it gets real" moment for any convention. The list of to-dos gets longer every day, especially as things previously neglected suddenly rear their head ("Can I park your car for $60 a day sir?" and "I'm sorry do your attendees expect chairs in the conference room?"). The last one being a real question asked many years ago as we setup a con venue. It has been a while since I last organized a con, and those are two perfect reasons why that has remained true! But, the end is nigh, and we will have a "great time" - to paraphrase a wannabe contemporary politician, we will also have "the best time." Thank you President, er.. I mean King Trump for those inspiring words to live and plan cons by. This progress report sets the tone for what to expect at "the Chiflu". Conveniently hosted in downtown Chicago, there's a wealth of things to distract you from the actual con, and I implore you to take full advantage of the opportunity to enjoy our fine city. Except of course when there's programming happening. It is hard to walk around Chicago and not be inspired by the amazing architecture, public art, friendly locals, and sheer exuberance of it all. Also, spring has gotten off to a "great" start, and we are fully expecting "great" things in mid-May.

  • Interfilk Songbook.Pdf
    Introduction Ten years is a pretty worthy kind of anniversary to celebrate. It hasn't been ten years since Interfilk was first thought of that's even longer. And it hasn't been ten years since Interfilk came into existence — also longer. But it has been ten years since the very first Interfilk guest, Mike Whitaker, was sent to a convention. That convention was Consonance in 1992. Now, for the release of this songbook we travel ten years in time to Consonance 2002, and celebrate ten full years of raising funds, finding and selecting worthy guests, and arranging for them to go to a fill( convention far from their home. It hardly seems possible that so much has happened. rmi The first few years were lean ones, with Interfilk having only sufficient funds to send one or two guests a year. Does anyone recollect when Interfilk became an accepted part of the filk community and Interfilk auctions became an event to not miss? I remember when it happened at FilKONtario: It was 1993 and Michael Longcor took on the job of auctioneer with Mary Ellen Wessels ad libbing the role of auction wench. None of the auctions were tame after that. We're certainly glad you enjoy them. Interfilk is absolutely dependant on the generosity of the filk community for survival. The conventions have been incredibly cooperative, giving us table space and program time to run our little auction. They have taken our Interfilk guests to heart and treated them royally. We've had so much help at these events, with folks like Steve Simmons, Bill Roper, John Hall, Mark Bernstein, Michael Longcor, Nick Smith and our own Bill Sutton lending their talents at the auctioneer's position.
