the stealth factor

And on the other side of the spectrum, a few days ago (Thursday? Friday? They all blend together) post closing at Herald's Point, someone mentioned that this was his first Pennsic and I chimed in, "Oh, it's my first Pennsic too, I hope you're having fun, I am!" And he kindly asked, "Are you pretty new too, then?" I gaped for a moment, and at first thought to respond "No, I've been involved about 13 years now", but decided to be nice, so I came over to the table where he was sitting, stuck my hand out, and said, "Hi, I'm Aryanhwy merch Catmael, the Pelican Queen of Arms."

And I know that there are still a large number of folks working in Herald's Point, or who came to my class, that I have no idea who I am. Wheee!!
