    Walking around holding up a sign telling people to be quiet and return to their seats.

    Skipping the sessions and hitting the mall. Oh, and the girls.

    Does no-one remember the doughnuts and smell of 40,000 flasks of coffee opening?

    I remember the live orchestra that played during the lunchtime intermission.

    I used to enjoy the music a lot [despite the fact no dancing was allowed].

    'frigid pioneer looking for a window-washing partner' or 'out of my league and soon to be out of the truth hotties'.

    Guess which one I was??

    Frequent, Glad you enjoyed it. I did play a mean violin. I even had a part in an assembly playing on stage. Something about another brother (who played beautifully), teaching me, and I got better. Don't remember how it tied into selling magazines. LOL

    the answer to the question,

    I was the frigid sister. then, I turned from a grubby worm, to a butterfly. (I was that hottie!!!!) :)

    My last convention: 1994 DC at Veteran's Stadium, Philly.

    Hot, boring, glad to leave. No food served back then, I think that was the first year or so of no food service. Conventions always sucked, but with no food it really sucked.

    I remember waiting for some really exciting "new light" and always feeling disappointed when it was the same old stuff.

    The first year, it was a novel experience. Then, the second year it was all crap. They have all been crap ever since--enough to make me wish for a blizzard in the middle of July that would cancel all three days of the Grand Boasting Session.

    Not to mention the obligatory deficits on Sunday afternoon, to get people to put more money into the Worldwide Pedophile Defense Fund boxes.
