Since you last saw our heroine she has been suffering from
incessant song-in-the-brain.  She has chosen to exorcize it
by pretending to filk.[1]


The con is on (TTTO: the heat is on)

The con is on, with Swedes & geeks
Inside the shed, with ooks & eeks
And the con's so loud, with happy folks
The Pratchett's nigh, just to sign some books
'Cause the con is on!

Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho
Missing all the action I've been feeling envy of you
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho
(Tell me can you smell it)
(Tell me can you hear it)
(Tell me can you feel it)
The con is on, the con is on, the con is on
the con is on Oh it's in the shed, the con is - on.


There.  I feel better - although I'm not actually happy
with the result ("folks" with "books", I arsk you).  By
the way: I know that I am taking the name of the sacred
shed in vain - but them's the breaks.

April.
