I almost signed up for Tulsa at the last minute but then 9/11 happened. I didn't like the theme >

Posted by Mike User icon on July 25, 2026, 9:58 am, in reply to "My first convention was in Albuquerque. NFP"

for Albuquerque so passed. My first was finally Louisville.
We were going to London in September and I thought when we got back I would try to sign up for Tulsa. But after getting stuck in London for a week due to 9/11 and the worry about flights, I decided to wait for the following year... which I ended up not going to!! LOL But Louisville was AMAZING for my very first event!
