BACK TO THE '80S

Jul 28, 2008 17:23

Getting back to some of the events that went on during the early '80s and up through 1986 or so, perhaps: You know, I've sat here all week wondering exactly what I had left to say, so I'll just expand on some things I've already brought up, various parties, conventions and maniacal happenings.

First of all, the "original" K/S Con, held at "Ginna's ( Read more... )

He even "rose to the occasion" when he planted a passionate kiss on one of our youngest attendees!

And that's all you have to say on the subject...?

lol, yup. What a great time we had, though. Seems like soooooooooo long ago.

Looking forward to the next installment.

I was there and I saw this too... and yeah, I was snickering too!

Awww... memories. Great entry again, Nancy. I recall the stripper guy actually shaved off his mustache to look more like Kirk for us -- and I think it was Ginna's own gold shirt he donned for the performance. I'll never forget seeing him come out as the familiar strains of the ST theme played from the boom box! I had to have a couple drinks before I was "ready" to see him (for some reason I was feeling a bit shy about seeing a guy strip in those days!) And as I remember, Marion was wearing her "Whatever" t-shirt -- which seemed especially funny as she sat trying to deal with a dancing, nearly naked guy in our midst ( ... )

Loved the story about the stripper *ggggg* Wish I had been there.

Thanks for sharing the stories about the parties, and interesting to hear about the ST hiatus from you. Puts things into perspective :)

I think many fans go through a burn-out phase, or at least a phase in which they are a lot less active. I didn't jump into other fandoms yet, but I'm only deeply involved for 6 years now (though being a trekkie since 1976). Plenty of time to get burned yet *G*

That's the thing about fandom - it pulls you in, embraces you, and you're instantly at home with your fellow fen. There's truly nothing else like it. It's by and large a warm, fuzzy home and family you enter. Lives are dramatically altered and relationships realigned. It's instant acceptance by one and all, for one and all, no matter what.

Beautiful lines. Thank you, Nancy! :)

quote again:
I shared a "Death by Chocolate" dessert with George Takei when we took the guests out to dinner one year. I became quite enamored of Bill Campbell and his lovely wife, Teresa.

Death by Chocolat *gg* Sounds delicious. I think I heard, George Takei had married recently. I loved it to see him in Heroes and he was so funny in PsychBill Campbell - is he the actor from 4400 and Dynasty? Or just a similar name ( ... )

Thank YOU for the kind words and for reading and commenting. I wish you could or could have experienced first-hand the love and emotion of being a part of a fandom that exists in real-time, apart from the Internet ( ... )
