Hello and welcome!

I don't know how much of this you've caught -- time stamps on my
incoming e-mail don't always correspond with reality -- but Qe'van
(that's the Klingon bard over there) has just expressed an interest in
hosting a housefilk sometime in the near future at his place in The
Colony north of Dallas, and we're just trying to settle on a date for
it, probably a Saturday. There's also a filk-friendly con just coming up
(relatively) close to you -- Conestoga, July 19-21 in Tulsa.

Here's the website for that:

Being in much the same position as you is what prompted me to start this
list. I'm glad to see you here and I hope to see you in person soon,
perhaps at the housefilk or Conestoga.
