I am home safely from ConCertino as of a few hours ago.

It was a fun convention and I am sorry I was not able to get there on Friday evening. 

I had a nice surprise and was able to make someone else's weekend.

The nice surprise was that I was presented with a new floating interfilk item that is being passed along to members of the community.  (I tried getting it to two people whom I though deserved the chance and both sent it back to me.)  The pendent (made by Elise Mathenson (sp?)) and book are currently with me

As for making someone else's weekend, I somehow managed to win my 3rd quilt this year.  I have won previously the interfilk quilt at GaFilk, which I managed to win remotely with help from FilkFerengi and the quilt at FKO.  

After I won the quilt from GaFilk, I planned to do what I saw someone else  (confirmed @ ConCertino - Kathleen Sloan) did @ a GaFilk years ago.   Not keep the 2nd quilt, but give it away to someone else who had never won a quilt @ a filk convention before.  

The FKO quilt was sent home with Tim Griffin who really appreciated.   The ConCertino quilt ended up going home with Jane Sibley.

If I win MORE quilts in the future (and I really would like someone else to win!), I am going to continue to give them away to other people who have never won a quilt before (or received a quilt from someone at a filk convention.)

I'm glad you're home safe & had fun at the con. It's spelled Matthesen.

Should we commence calling you the King of Quilts? There's a song in that.

We're off this morning. When you wake up [even you have to sleep *some*time], check out the Westercon schedule, both filk and main. It makes [profile] mrgoodwraith look positively restrained. Why do all cons have their ice cream socials right after I've had dinner? Check your email; I'll send you my rough schedule.

It was good to see you at ConCertino, and thanks for all your hard work on the CD!

I was tempted to bid on the pendant for our Shmoo, but I have doubts it would survive until the next con. Maybe at a future filk con, if we can convince him to be less of a demolitions expert. He loves hanging things around his neck: lanyards, Mardi Gras beads, scarves...

He'd enjoy a quilt too, but we already have four handmade blankets or quilts for him!
