The Interfilk auction (in which the organization raises money to cross-pollinate filkers from far-flung locations) is always fun and crazy, and seems to get crazier every year. Here, con chair Lynn Gold is trying to get Interfilk director Kathleen Sloan to up her bid on one of the items, a process known as 'wenching'.

Kathleen was heard to say something along the lines of 'Even though I don't swing that way, I'm finding this surprisingly pleasant.'
