A filk community

Located in the Crowe & Dove House deep in the wilds of Iowa!

The room block closes June 4th, get your reservations in before that. The code is good from Thursday to Sunday.

Pre-reg closes June 19th. Registration at the con will be card only. If at all possible please pre-reg so we have a better idea of how many are coming.

If you backed the Go Fund Me and have not let us know if you are attending, please send me an email, my address is on the website.

The food guide is available on the Hotel page on the website as well as in the files in the FCB Facebook group.

The website has been updated with this information.

The Ropers will be there selling CDs.

The numbers are looking very good. I am actually a little concerned about whether our mainstage area will be large enough to seat everyone. What a terrible problem to have!

See you soon!

We're off this week, we have an all music show for you. We'll be back next week with a regular show!

Available on iTunes, Google Play and most other places you can get podcasts. We can be heard Wednesday at 6am and 9pm Central on scifi.radio.

We're just a little over two months away from this craziness that we have decided to commit.

Our room block is moving along nicely, as are registrations. I'm sitting here and listening to EuroFilk while working on the first draft of the program book. I have an idea for the cover but I need someone to do a bit of artwork for it. Simple semi-realistic person with a guitar in a specific pose, one color. If this is something that interests you, send me an email and we can talk. ericcoleman @ gmail.

We have our evil plans for the gathering after opening ceremonies.

Staff has come together, and we have several people who are willing to help on sound.

Sound gear is close to being put together.

It's all falling into place.

I do want to warn people, this first FilkCONbobulated will be very Iowa-centric. Our GOH is from Iowa, the songwriting contest will be Iowa based, even the final Filk Sunday night will be the soon to be famous Corn Dog Filk!

We're going to have one track of programming. Right now we have two rooms and the con suite. We will expand that if needed. One of those rooms will be where most of the programming will happen, the other will be 24 hour a day open filk, but we will probably move the Instrument Petting Zoo there. Easier to set up and tear down.

What's going on ...

Concerts from our GOHs
Workshops, if you are interested in running a workshop, let us know. If you have already mentioned it to one of us, talk to us again. My email address is on the website.
One shots and/or twofers
An Instrument Petting Zoo
The Corn Filker Contest, the prompts will be announced at opening ceremonies. Songs will be performed Sunday afternoon.
It looks like we will have a CD release party at the con. More on that later.
Theme Circles, if you want to run a theme circle, let us know.
An Interfilk Auction, please bring stuff for it.
24 hour a day filking, that room will most likely be a non-recording room.
A Final Jam.
Sunday evening we will have the soon to be famous Corn Dog Filk!

We are working on getting a food map set up. There are a lot of choices up and down Merle Hay Road.

I am looking for someone to help run sound, especially to help set up microphones for the one shots and twofers.

Registration is open, and the room block is as well. Follow the links on the website.
