Every year at Dragon Con we have a tradition of InstaFilk where we ask that our fans come and join in to create a filk from scratch in an hour. This year we had quite possibly the smoothest and quickest workshop, using “Drop of Nelson’s Blood”, an old sea shanty, as our tune to tell the story of some advice about all of the things that make Dragon Con a fabulous time for us!
Many, many thanks to Ian O’Donnell and Andrew McKee for their musical assistance!
