Getting back to some of the events that went on during the early '80s and up through 1986 or so, perhaps: You know, I've sat here all week wondering exactly what I had left to say, so I'll just expand on some things I've already brought up, various parties, conventions and maniacal happenings.

First of all, the "original" K/S Con, held at "Ginna's

Awww... memories. Great entry again, Nancy. I recall the stripper guy actually shaved off his mustache to look more like Kirk for us -- and I think it was Ginna's own gold shirt he donned for the performance. I'll never forget seeing him come out as the familiar strains of the ST theme played from the boom box! I had to have a couple drinks before I was "ready" to see him (for some reason I was feeling a bit shy about seeing a guy strip in those days!) And as I remember, Marion was wearing her "Whatever" t-shirt -- which seemed especially funny as she sat trying to deal with a dancing, nearly naked guy in our midst!

I too felt "guilty" and as though I'd been unfaithful when I first ventured out into other fandom territory, but I always come home to Trek and still love it just as much. But you can only continue writing in one universe for so long before you start repeating yourself and your work suffers from a lack of freshness, so my creative urges sent me out there. And yet, I never miss a Shoreleave or Farpoint and get a lump in my throat about Trek many times.

Keep posting!
