goobergunchFun moment today at Central Committee. Tonight was our "youth takeover" meeting, and I was chatting with a couple of the youth delegates after about some of the parliamentary occurrences that happened during the meeting. As background I mention that I'm the Parliamentarian for this year's Business Meeting of the World Science Fiction Society, fully expecting to have to explain what exactly WSFS is.
The mouth of a girl I'm talking basically drops open. Turns out she not only knows about Worldcon, but really wanted to go this year. I tell her about Seattle and (hopefully) Los Angeles which should be a bit easier for her to get to. (She's a big fan of GRRM and Dune.)
Sometimes it's really nice to be reminded that yes, you did grow up to be the cool adult.
