I don't remember any cats on DS,
C is for Cat (the one Joshua was turned into)
I hope I am not misunderstanding your post, Midnite and thus respond in an appropriate way -
I think making fun of what fans look like and how they dress is indeed judgmental. Ignorant may be a better word.
I brought up the middle-aged, moderate income issue for two reasons: (1) it isn't as easy to bunk down on the floor or fit into a bed with four other people as it was when we were in our twenties. Middle-aged backs don't tend to like hard floors for a night's sleep. (2) Middle-aged people with moderate incomes also have children and mortgages. That means less disposable cash for Mom and Dad. I don't consider have moderate income and working as many jobs as it takes to make ends meet anything but noble and far too many people have to live that way.
Entertainment, particularly that on the fantasy side, has a great appeal for people who have their nose to the grindstone day in and day out and truly struggle to have any extra money. It's a wonderful world to escape into it this fantasy we all enjoy here and all the others out there. Sometimes that is the only thing that keeps someone in an unhappy work situation or life situation sane.
X is for XX - The chromosomes that women have. All the women on DS have XX chromosomes.
X is for X chromosomes, of which it has been suggested that Erica Fitz didn't have a full pair.
The Fest price has been $30/weekend for as long as I have been attending (1990) and sometimes has been a 2-for-1 deal. Raising the rate in the time since 1990 by only a few dollars even would seem reasonable. I know a lot of people don't have a very big income (and I'm one of them), but I don't think charging just a few dollars more for admission would make that big of a difference.
that brings us to four people - Burke Devlin, Maude Browning, Paul Stoddard, and Tony Peterson. Can we indeed bring the count up past the fingers of one hand?
How many shows do they still have conventions or events for that are 40+ years old???
