Song Sharing Circle: Fantastic Journeys

You are probably itching to hear what the Song Sharing Circle will be about this year.

This year we dedicate the Circle to our GoH Franklin and his Odyssee to the dentist. Thus the topic does have the subtitle “the real and imagined adventures of Franklin”, but you do not have to write about Franklin.

Think of journeys that only happen in your imagination, real journeys that are just fantastic, journeys through myths and mysteries. From Erlking to the Hitchhikers guide. When I left the motorway to drive to IKEA I once saw a gnarled tree spirit. On the way back it was gone, leaving only some stupid stump behind.

Have you ever encountered the eerie, weird or wondereous? Would you like to?

So think, text, tune and share!

Merchandising! Merchandising!

“But Yogurt, what is this place? What is it that you do here?”
“Moichandising!”
(Spaceballs)

To celebrate our fifth anniversary, we will be having merchandising at DFDF!

What?
Picture frames, big enough to hold A4 images.
Each picture frame will be designed individually and will show pieces of filk song lyrics as well as “DFDF 2013″.
Picture frames will be assigned at random – swapping with other customers is of course possible and allowed, be we cannot customize frames to individual specifications.

Do you have any examples?
Yes, we do:

Looking at the sky I see the dawn at midnight

Looking at the sky I see the dawn at midnight

Suddenly the hidden road will rise up and fly

Suddenly the hidden road will rise up and fly

And if you reach the stars the magic begins

And if you reach the stars the magic begins

Every time mystery would answer you shall learn of a star

Every time mystery would answer you shall learn of a star

How much does a picture frame cost?
€ 10,-

How can I get a picture frame?
Please send an order to merchandising[at]d-f-d-f.org by May 1st – that’s when we start production!

Questions?
Ask!

Filk Hall of Fame: Nominations close on January 8th 2013

As some of you know, there is that Filk Hall of Fame thing.
Nominations that arrive by January 8th the latest will be included in the voting for 2013.
If there is anyone you want to nominate, do so. If there is anyone who you think would deserve some recognicion or reward for what they do for filk, nominate, nominate, nominate.
Please do not assume that they will be on the list anyway. Many that should be are not. And many that are on the list could use some additional input because not all nominations are all that detailed and the jury is to judge only by what has been submitted, not by personal knowledge.
Thank you.

(If you need a german translation of the FHoF pages, tell us, we have some of them covered already.
If you need a german nomination translated into english, tell us, we’ll get help.)

Christo …

now has a biography online, too – have a look if you want!

Translated and improved Conreport online

We now have an English version of the Conreport for DFDF 2012. And the German version has been orthographically improved, mistakes have been corrected and some stuff has been clarified or added on the second reading. Corrections of blatant mistakes and Edits are in italics, so you do not have to read it all again ;)

Conreport 2012 online

We now have our first Conreport online, so far it is German only, translation will follow.

So, read and remember or see what you missed!
