allisona's post about filk influences, certainly there have been some influences on me.
As far as actually getting involved in filk as a performer all the Milwaukee filkers and the monthly housefilks here were what got me started. I had some fairly serious stage-fright issues, and besides the friendly and welcoming (and tolerant) filk audience the monthly housefilks were really an important thing for me. If I'd been going to one con a year I'd probably never have gotten enough experience to learn to relax. Having a gathering roughly once per month made a very big difference.
Of course, thinking ofallisona, another connection for me was made by her. Shortly after Urban Tapestry went to FilkContinental in Germany I ended up meeting aryana_filker in the comments thread to one of Allison's LJ posts. If we try hard enough we can trace directly from that to me at a Live-Action Role Playing game in Germany singing in German (while somewhat drunk) in the middle of the night to a group of German gamers. My life, it is wonderful.
