Reasons why you should go to Connexions this year

astarte99 asked me the following question regarding Connexions:

What makes it so cool? I am thinking about attending a fandom con or two for the first time this year (been to lots of other cons, just not fandom ones), and am trying to figure out which ones I should put at the top of the list.

To which I provide the following answers:

( Why should you or any other slash fan go to Connexions this year? )

There's more but now I'm running late for dinner. I now throw the microphone out to you, the viewers at home, to add your own reasons if you are so inclined =)

More Buffy newbieness

As some of you know, my parents have been catching up on Buffy, having never watched it before in their lives.

We're in the home stretch of s3 right now and I thought I'd share the following conversation with my mostly spoiler free folks, which mpoetess and wolfling might enjoy, if nothing else:

TBQ: Okay, if I told you that one of the characters on Buffy, meaning any of the characters in the episodes we watched today, later turned out to be gay who would you guess it was?

Dad: [without hesitation] Xander.

TBQ: Fair enough. I won't tell you if you're right or wrong since you don't want solid spoilers or anything.

Dad: Or maybe Giles. Or Oz.

Mom: [gently correcting] No, Oz is gay in real life.

Which I suppose just goes to show that the apple apparently never even bothered to leave the tree.

Also to that end, we have the following:

Mom: Okay, don't give me any spoilers. Just tell me yes or no: Did Angel point out that the Mayor didn't like germs?

TBQ: Yes, he did point that out.

Mom: So?

TBQ: What?

Mom: Is that how they defeat the Mayor?!

TBQ: You just said no spoilers!

Mom: Oh you - you bastard!

TBQ: Well you'd certainly be the one to know if I was.

And now to attempt to get some writing done. After I catch up on my friends page.
