Absolutely ... not, of course. 

This is a problem that many people can't seem to differentiate between 
what venues it is acceptable to sing different songs. They can't quite 
seem to fathom that *any* SCA song can be sung at a SF Filk session, but 
*not* all SF Filk can be sung at SCA events. (And the most irritating to 
me are those songs that are based in some fantasy world that is 
medieval-like, i.e. most all of Misty Lackey's stuff, etc.)

this year & there won't be a Harmonicon next year)

[Though in '97 Harmonicon will be in Tulsa. And isn't that when 
CostumeCon will be in St. Louis & San Antonio will have WorldCon? The 
SCA will be getting the short end of the stick in '97 I anticipate.]
