Major snow in Toronto right now. Guess the weather is making up for the mild winter up to now. To those of you making your way to FilKONtario right now: drive carefully!

Went to the Sheraton Four Points last night with Allison and Jodi and had dinner with Tom and Dave (whose Web site will be moving to dandelionwine.net soon), Rika, Katy and Ju at a nearby Kelsey's. Martin, Andy and Glenn arrived soon after and took a nearby table...very cool to see them again.

Allison asked to see some Euro coins, so Ju obliged with a sampling from her purse:

We dropped by the con suite afterward for a brief visit. Things were just getting set up, but it's pretty clear everyone's hyped for the convention.

For those interested, Jodi, Allison and/or I will be participating in the following concerts or panels (times are tentative! check your program book when you get to FKO):

Canadiana panel - 9:30 pm tonight

Tanya Huff request concert - 11:30 pm tonight

Joey Shoji concert - 4:30 pm Saturday

Dave Weingart concert - 1:30 pm Saturday

Filk Hall of Fame concert - 2-4 pm Sunday

Last jam (?) - We've been asked to sing "Home To FilKONtario" at the end of the convention again this year. :-)

Got back home in time to hang out with Scott a bit (he and Jeff went out for his birthday), though I probably wasn't very entertaining; I fell asleep on the couch. Scott was amused.

I'll be leaving my laptop at home, but will catch up on entries on Sunday or Monday.

Have a great weekend, everyone, and hope to see some of you at FKO!

Today's Blatherpics:

	Jodi, Allison & I clowning around with Tom Jeffers at the FKO hotel. We've always been big fans of Tom. Here's the Tom tribute I wrote a while back (we performed it on his radio show, much to his embarrassment :-)).
	Euro coins from Ju's purse.
	Howard Scrimgeour decorating the con suite.
	Dave Clement & Katy Dröge.
