I would think the nature and subject of the panel would make all the necessary difference in whether to take up the invitation or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147219.post-21794467125798218622007-12-10T20:56:00.000-06:002007-12-10T20:56:00.000-06:00I suppose the dealer's room is one redeeming virtu...I suppose the dealer's room is one redeeming virtue...Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074004681516756703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147219.post-7797885900368202052007-12-10T20:05:00.000-06:002007-12-10T20:05:00.000-06:00"Gort!

That they wear costumes and do fandom should be of little concern to you, as they have the ability to commune on the same wavelengths as you as opposed to your average Starbucks customer.<BR/><BR/>I think it would be a good opportunity (fresh off your triumphant trip to Halifax) to get out of your head and practice your mingling. You are a good person to be around and talk to, so you should give people the chance to meet you.platts42https://www.blogger.com/profile/08086882674873049929noreply@blogger.com
