GA for Georgia, USA;  Filk for filk singing, Science Fiction Fandom's 
answer to Folk Singing.  Some parodies or songs set to previously 
existing tunes, some highly original.  Of course, the term has crossed 
over into SCA bardic circles. A few filkers have crossed over into the 
public via Dr. Demento's syndicated radio show, such as Leslie Fish and 
The Great Luke Ski.   A closer examination of Filking can be seen in 
direct-to-video feature TREKKIES 2, I know because I'm there in the 
background of scenes shot at Con-Chord in Los Angeles.  GAFilk is the 
first full weekend of January and I wish I could go.
