When I was a tween, my mom took me to an extremely small but surprisingly good con at my local hotel. The first year I got to meet Virginia Hey of Farscape and she very kindly took photos with me and gave me Zhaan rings! The following year, I got to see Anthony Simcoe, Gigi Edgely, and Lani Tupu do a panel and it was so much fun. I forget about that moment a lot but I’m so grateful my parents encouraged my weirdness instead of making me feel bad.
