We'll have olives at our Ratty room party at MediaWest*Con...
I'm just sayin'.
[And thanks to you, I'm wondering whether the rooms where the best-attended parties are held or the most-popular room dealers hang out should be regarded as hubs in a scale-free network... get out of my brain!)
*nod nod* One of my first thoughts. I went to Escapade once at the last minute and a kind stranger (congoer) let me sleep in her room and added me to her f-list, and it wasn't until later that I realized she was a HUGE lj hub all in one person! I felt strangely honored that I was able to say I had slept with her.
I mean, in her room.
And in the days before Teh Intarweb - I'm thinking there was still a scale-free network with people who ran fan clubs, newsletters, APAs, conventions, and fanzines acting as the hubs. And the high fault tolerance allowed for the occasional gafiation not to take down fandom... duuuuude.

And I know why not - it would repeat itself indefinitely!
