Nov. 22nd, 2004 11:13 amI hope you all had a good weekend.
huskiebear and I made a new friend. She needed new glasses, and I came along for fashion consultation. I was wearing a Dragon*Con shirt. One of the employees, good-looking black guy with a big smile and an excellent soft baritone voice, came up and said, "What's DragonCon? Is that like a comic-con?" I started to explain the differences. He looked at me for a minute, then opened his shirt.
He was wearing a Batman T-Shirt underneath.
We ended up talking for about an hour, and he was flabbergasted that anyone else in the world liked the kinda stuff he did, let alone potentially thousands just in the immediate vicinity, and he gave Les a discount on the glasses, and since he has dial-up and had no idea they existed I brought him a CD-R with Grayson and World's Finest, and it sounds as if he'll be at 'Fusion. And, frankly, Davros and Robin Goodfellow had better watch out, 'cause this guy's got style to burn.
So what goodness is going on in your lives right now? And, how are you planning to spend the Thanksgiving weekend?
