and

The Southern California Filk Convention

   
Town & Country Hotel, San Diego
October 10-12, 2013
Life, Death, and Beyond
Music Guest of Honor: Bill Roper
Bill Roper has been active in Filk since before 1980. He has received three Pegasus awards for his songwriting: one solo, two shared. Bill deals Filk at conventions and has produced and distributed recordings of many artists. He is also noted as a moderator of chaos-style filksings.
Interfilk Guests: Matt Leger and Mary Mulholland

Matt Leger has received a Pegasus Award for "A Simple Country Doctor" and also been nominated for Best Writer/Composer. Besides that, he wrote the "Evil Overlord" song, a perennial favorite. He handles both serious and funny material and is an inspired performer.

In addition to everything you've come to expect in a local SF convention like Conjecture, we will have old ConChord favorites, including:
Kazoo awards: That's right: awards made out of plastic kazoos and… other ingredients. See Kay Shapero's photos of past Kazoo awards for examples. The Totally Tacky and Tasteless Revue: Do you find Weird Al Yankovic songs too tasteful? Do you like horrible and inappropriate filk songs? Do you wish you could have been on the Gong Show? This is the event for you.  
Concerts by our guests and other notable names in the community. One Shots and Twofers! Dare to share!  
Filkers from up and down West Coast and elsewhere, including some regular LAFA attendees. Open Filk Circles 24 hours a day
