sam_gamgeeSince Shore Leave is about a week and a half away, tonight I watched David Hewlett's movie, Treed Murray (aka Get Down in the US.) It was a really good movie and I highly recommend it.
And with Shore Leave drawing near, I've been thinking of the last time I went to it - which was a number of years ago when I was still fairly new to the whole fandom thing, let alone the con thing. Shore Leave was actually the second con I went to alone.
(My first ever con was this little thing up in King of Prussia, PA, at the Scanticon hotel - some of you know where I'm talking about - that my dad took me to. My first con by myself was to CreepCon in Baltimore.)
It's funny because I remember at that Shore Leave I knew![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nakedwesley and maybe one other person and I had never been to something so big. I remember walking into the lobby and seeing two Klingon Storm Troopers and thinking "Ooooh-kaaaay" and later that weekend being really amused by the guy selling a Shakespearean play that had been translated into Klingon. This was also the first time I had heard of zines and randomly fell into the Kiefer/Lou fandom through some of the zines Agent With Style was selling. And the whole thing was just *wow*.
This time, it's still wow, but I'm like, "Okay, I need to remember to bring the Coke rewards for Mysti and the Pepsi rewards forkimberlyfdr." And squeeing over getting to see nakedwesley, D, mashfanficchick, mirnell, and kimberlyfdr.
Oh, random thought,nakedwesley - what do you think about me bringing stuff to make 808s?
