Thank you for sharing this. I "grok". It's experiences like this that make up "the Dream".

Dear, you just outed us both as Heinlein geeks! You for typing it, and me for knowing instantly what you meant.

I did see the dream that day. It hooked me and altered my life. If I was there now I would be fighting in that touney- playing along to the music for the dancers, wearing warm fitted clothes of my own creation, and I would most likely have helped in the kitchen at some point. I would stay to sweep and clean the site and I would giggle over the antic's of that group of newbies who showed up and were so awestruck.

20 years!I am getting old now.

Beautifully written, brings a tear to my eye as I remember my first event as well - Southern Region War Camp, July of 1991. Just think, in another year your persona will be old enough to drink! ;P Can't wait to see you!
