Celebration

[dancer]

As our friends are off playing in the geeky sandbox that is Star Wars Celebration, I feel like I'm in an odd place.  It is kind of like those first few years that we didn't go to Dragoncon.  There are folks we've met that we only see at these big conventions, and so I'm missing them.  If the bash does end up being a big huge, fun, nerdy dance party

I'm right there with you. I don't think I would particularly enjoy the con itself (the lines, the prices, the SO MANY PEOPLE), but I miss being with my friends when they are excited and having fun.

I've spent a lot of time looking back on D*C (and the Star Wars year at Arisia), and I think what I really enjoy is the escapism -- I get to live in a fantasy world for a few days. As I get older I find it's increasingly hard to shut my brain off and just enjoy the moment, so those few days of fantasy are very valuable. And of course the time with friends is what really seals the deal for me.

We're on the fence about SMF... But maybe it's worth it to see friends :)
