Since 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 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 for kimberlyfdr." 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?

:-/ about Traders. I do want to see it at some point, since I've seen some of it and Grant's just adorable.

I'm sure you and Barrie are having a great time with SH, though. :-D

And, as an FYI - my friend nakedwesley (Kath) may be coming down on Thursday now, but I don't know if she's decided for sure yet. If she does, she'll be with us for that night.

I will pass on the information. Thanks!
