From mokatiki:

Comment and I’ll...

1. Tell you why I friended you. *(if I can remember)
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I’ve always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. If you respond to this, you might want to this in your LJ--but you don't have to!

Getting in to filk:

On the one hand, my father loves Stan Freeburg and that combined with making up new words to existing songs was something we've done since childhood, so I was kind of primed for filk. Plus, music has pretty much been a major part of my life since I was 6 or so.

But the first filk-qua-filk I encountered were Mercedes Lackey tapes at a book signing of hers. And then I saw Windbourne in concert at ComiCon. And then I found Uncle Hugo's in Minneapolis which actually has a decent stock of filk tapes and CDs (or did while I was in college, can't really speak to now.) And I ended up spending a bunch of time in the concert rooms at Minicon and going to other filk-ish, though they often didn't quite call themselves filk, concerts other places around the twin cities.

All of that said, the first time I really ended up joining the community was when Seanan encouraged me to come to a house filk in L.A. because she was going to be there. And then encouraged me to come up to Consonance and to ConChord. And then I started going sometimes whether she was going to be there or not. So, it's probably safe to blame Seanan.

Actually, IMEX, that's usually the case. :)
