ICon's Volunteers

ICon's Volunteers
Tune: Barrett's Privateers, Stan Rogers
Based on true stories. All of it.

Oh, the year was nineteen-ninety-eight
(How I wish I was in BIGOR now!)
A call came out for volunteers
To the biggest con in the whole damn year
(God damn them all!)
I was told we'll just come in and help them fold
We'll lose no sleep
(Have no fear!)
Now I'm a full-grown man on the verge of tears
The last of ICon's volunteers

Carmel and Uri cried the town
(How I wish I was in BIGOR now!)
For fifty brave fen, who'll work for days
For eternal glory and zero pay
(God damn them all!)…

In 2001 we had a GoH
(How I wish I was in BIGOR now!)
A world-class writer, no dispute
One look at him and the crowd went mute
(God damn them all!)…

Of movies we had quite a few
(How I wish I was in BIGOR now!)
The image froze and the sound cut out
And to wake the techie we had to shout
(God damn them all!)…

We tried to find the gaming rooms
(How I wish I was in BIGOR now!)
For gladiators with foam swords
And teenage evil overlords
(God damn them all!)…

The art crew worked like men possessed
(How I was I was in BIGOR now!)
For three months' work and a day's get-up
Three hours later it looked like crap
(God damn them all!)…

The media hacks, they came to gawk
(How I wish I was in BIGOR now!)
Laughing at all the geekery
Until we had to get them off the tree
(God damn them all!)…

Us filkers we were there as well
(How I wish I was in BIGOR now!)
We were the con's best shining stars!
Well, five of us, plus two guitars…
(God damn them all!)…

So here I sit with the passed-out staff…
(How I wish I was in BIGOR now…)
I've slept three hours in the last three days
And BIGOR is only four months away!
(God damn them all!)
I was told we'll just come in and help them fold
We'll lose no sleep
(Have no fear!)
Now I'm a full-grown man on the verge of tears
The last of ICon's volunteers…
