I meant my questions mainly rhetorically, ones that I expected you'd encounter soon enough from other sources. It sounds like you haven't just come off the boat (yeah, like there's ocean near Denver) or anything, which is good.
I expect there are ways to get around things like going to lots of other cons, far away, yourself. It seems that every American treats issues like this differently, based sheerly on geography and personal resources.
(Once again, I'm so glad to have LJ. Without it, I would've seen your name on the 2005 ballot and gone, "Who?" Some days LJ is indeed the cat's pajamas.)
Yikes! Good answers.
