Some Excerpts
I have been very active in several Fandoms. First, Dark Shadows and then Space:1999; that changed my life forever.
[The difference between our club from 1995 to 2000]: We are much wiser. The group we are now and was in 2000 do this for the pure love of the show and it’s fans. No personal gain… which turned out to be a hidden agenda for a few in 1995.
Now this story is a hoot. I pick up the phone one day and Mike asks, “Are you off work today?” I was. Seems he got a phone call from Judy Evans who is getting ready to move to Washington State. She wants us to come with two cars and take as many costumes that we can cram into them! We met at the lot. Security was expecting us and we drove back to the huge warehouse where many costumes are stored. Judy is a lovely lady (very shy and did not want to come to the 1995 Con). We took what they planned to throw out and then she took us into a ‘locked’ section where she gave us some of the good stuff. We have auctioned off many for Charity, and sadly, to pay off the debt left from the 1995 Con. We still have some that we will never let go.
I’d just like to say that B&B fandom has some of the best people who make up for the really bad ones. I find that any fandom has people in it for all the wrong reasons. Thankfully, there are not many of those around anymore.
