Date: 2020-03-03 09:10 pm (UTC)Bummer about your ConneXions experience...fen judging each other as "real fandom" or not, judging each other as "looking like fans" or not. If time and health should allow you to attend another con, I hope you will choose Escapade (and LMK if there's anything I can do from my Escapade Welcommittee position to increase the likelihood of that).

Date: 2020-03-04 09:46 am (UTC)Thanks. I would if I could. There are the health issues, but the big problem is money. I have difficulties just getting by on what Social Security gives me--and there are several other ways the system is set up to keep disabled people in poverty--so a round-trip airplane ticket from New York to California and back, the convention fee, a hotel room for a few nights, and dining out for meals for those days are quite beyond me. (The only reason I got to attend Comic Con in NYC a few times was that I was volunteering to do a few hours working a booth and could just use the subway to get there, and those folks haven't asked for my services in the last several years so....) It sucks.
