Apr. 29th, 2007 09:19 pmI had a great time this weekend at
tribalforces. Got to see a bunch of people I had met last year at the con. And I also got to see
justhuman and
lucifrix - both of whom I hadn't seen in a long time. Also got to meet some new people who were quite cool.
The panels were lots of fun and there were good discussions and some good recs. We also had a blast watching vids and various eps of shows. A few of us even went to a nearby zoo on Friday - which was neat. (And then got lost on the way back to the hotel, but it worked out in the end.) I was surprised that I won the door decorating contest that we had. And we watched both SG-1's 10x13 "The Road Not Taken" and SGA's 3x13 "Irresponsible" as a group, which was a lot of fun.
The oddest part of the whol thing was that our meeting room was right in the middle of the "Mainline Mothers of Multiples" (twins, triplets, etc). (I kid you not.) So they kept trying to come in our room and we had to politely deflect them. (Though, I think that if they were dumb enough to not read the signs up announcing what group we were, that we weren't part of their group, and ignore the police tape across the top part of the door, they should've been allowed to go in and see, but I can understand why not.) And most were really nice about it when we brought it to their attention, though I heard that a couple got a little snippey. So I suggested that we should politely start a conversation with the opener of something like, "So, since you're the mother of multiples, and statics show a leaning towards this in multiples, how would you feel if one of them came to you and told you they were gay?" Someone else had the much more evil idea of talking about twincest.
Gah. I'm still off in my own little world of "I was at a con all weekend where they understand me!" (Not that other people don't understand me.) But I felt like I was one of the cool kids for the weekend or something. It was *so* much fun.
