Fannish 50 Challenge 2024: Post # 20: At the Escapade Con That I Missed

[ride_4ever]

I have a long history with attending Escapade in California, the world's longest-running slashcon. Sadly, I missed Escapade's 34th year earlier this month, but thanks to being informed by devilc, I know that I was well-remembered. My absolute dedication to dSC6D fandom is well-known and I am both appreciated and feared as a relentless bidder at Escapade's annual auction -- fen know that if I want an auction item enough I will not be outbid. So what devilc told me is that at the auction the auctioneer said "The best way to participate in this year's auction is to pretend that you are ride_4ever and we just brought Paul Gross on stage to auction him off...." And then devilc said that I was also mentioned again when vidders put up vids for auction (I previously made Escapade auction history with my four-digit winning bids on vids by luminosity).

Even when you weren't there, you still made a positive impact!!! I am not surprised. ♥

I was delighted to see devilc at the convention - a friend I made through you! We mostly saw each other in passing this time; I was spending much more time than usual glued to my phone (for updates about Mom) or chatting with one sister or the other (about Mom).

I missed you, of course, but I look forward to more time with you (and watching moar dS) at Con*Strict, to say nothing of more time with you and devilc and the others! YAYZ!
