The full Xeno indexes can be found at http://theStarport.com/xeno/
There's also a link there to the index for FILKER UP 1-5.
Xenofilkia is $1 per issue plus postage.
An issue weighs 3 ounces and postage (currently) runs 77 cents (inside
the US), 88 cents to Canada (printed matter) and $1.30 to elsewhere
(printed matter). Add five cents if you want it mailed as a flat in a
9x12 envelope instead of folded up in a #10 business envelope.
Feel free to send a lump sum (check, money order or straight cash -- I
can handle cash in most foreign currencies), or you can send a US$
traveler's check or US$ postal money order. Each issue, you'll find
your remaining balance noted on the envelope under my return address.
Balance refundable any time on request. Make the check/money order out
to "Lee Gold," NOT to Xenofilkia.
Contributors get that issue free and the next issue postage only. (This
is intended to create an addiction to contributing.) But I reserve the
right to pick and choose what songs I want on the basis of merit and
whim. And to request that certain songs be rewritten to a somewhat
higher standard of scansion and rhyme before they see print. And to fix
up punctuation and spelling.
All 69 issues of Xeno are still in print. It is my intention to keep
ALL issues of Xenofilkia in print permanently.
Deadline for Xeno #70 is February 29th, in the hope I can hand it out at
Consonance, the first weekend in March.
Also available:
FILKER UP #1-5,. each with 44 pages of filksongs: what I consider my
best songs and those by some friends that meet the same standard. $3
each -- plus postage. These songbooks weigh 5 ounces each, and are
cheapest mailed Book Rate: $1.13 (1 pound) for three of them, $1.48
for all five -- US. (Yeah, Book Rate is a lot cheaper than First
Class. All 63 Xenos by Book Rate in the US is less than $6.50
postage.)
Or you can get all five FILKER UPs for $12 plus postage for 2 pounds
($1.48 US Book Rate, for example).
