Entering the World of Fandom
This is a copy of the post I just made on my facebook. If we are facebook friends you can respond there if you'd like.
I was reading an article this morning about someone's first experience seeing Star Wars and it brought back my first memories of Star Wars which I guess was my introduction into the world of fandom and geekdom, at the very tender age of 4 I didn't know what exactly was going on but I did know that Darth Vader had kidnapped my daddy and I was not a happy camper. In reality it was my older brother's birthday and he was having a Star Wars themed birthday an going to see Return of the Jedi, my father's friend was a huge Star Wars fan and had a Darth Vader costume and he crashed the party, the only issue was he couldn't see to drive in the costume so my dad had to drive him home. I'm curious as to what everyone elses' introductions into the world of geekdom and fandom were. It doesn't matter which fandom please share your experiences.
