| Paul Kwinn lives in the San Francisco Bay Area,
and has been involved with filk since about 1990. You may know him from
his attendance at almost every filk con, at one time or another (Great
Britain's filk cons elude him thus far, but it's only a matter of time).
You may know him as an entrant in various song-writing contests at OVFF
and FilKONtario
(with some wins). You may know him as the tallest, hairiest member
of the filk trio Puzzlebox (his
association with lovely and talented band-mates Taunya Gren and Alisa
Garcia indicates a level of luck that is, well, ridiculous). Puzzlebox
was Interfilk guest at GaFilk
in 2000, and Guest of Honor at FilkContinental
in 2001. And next year will be quite toasty for Paul: Puzzlebox is serving
as Toastmaster at Consonance
2006 (March, in Milpitas, in the San Francisco Bay area) and
he'll be soloing toastmaster duties for OVFF 2006. All of the gigs are
hugely appreciated. Mr. Kwinn resides, busily but happily, with his sexy
and incredibly talented wife Beckett Gladney (a noted artist of filk
album covers, among other
things) and their twin boys Casey Beckett Kwinn and Riley James
Kwinn. |
