Bass and I also went to the Con when it was a "small, furtive event." In fact. I remember scraping the bottom of the piggy bank to obtain enough cash to attend just one more day....

I guess the geek really shall inherit the Earth... It really is odd that all the things that made me a social outcast as a child have made me a desirable marketing demographic today.

There are more and more "normals" at Con every year...this year I stood next to three jocks at the Chessex booth while they inquired about the uses of dice, and then proceeded to make fun of people who play D&D. What was worse was that the guy working the booth pretended to not know what the dice were for, puffing up his chest, laughing with them, and saying that he "just worked there." My ass, you nerd.

I have found your recordings wonderfully amusing.... full of pomposity and humor. I appreciate the fine turn of a phrase and vivid, picturesque descriptions of your ridiculous and harrowing situations. I find myself wondering "when did their voices change?" Anyway thanks for the insights and entertainment. It is good to hear from the little speck on the globe that is El Cajon here in the islands. Love the geek in the closet confession! Carry on! LMH Dear Boys (LGA),
