and now, the "Good stuff that happened at Arisia" post.

I met several new people, including a crowd of New Yorkers who'd like me to come and visit.
I attended a few interesting panels.
I saw a great concert with some friends.
Shabbat lunch and Friday dinner were both really good, and with good company as well.
I did enough massage work to comp my admission for next year.
Had several good conversations with some unexpected people and learned a fair bit about myself in the process.

That's really tacky. I admit, I do sometimes (okay, often) wonder why you are so strict about some things when certain other things you've completely let go. But I would never describe it as "stupid".

Generally, I'd think that the people who are friendly and decent would be laid back and helpful about it, and the few people who were doing things like shoving people with luggage and babies in strollers out of the way to get on the elevator first, will be jerks about it. So, in other words, pretty much the same as out in general society.

Thing is, until recently, fandom had a reputation for being very anti-religious.

True.

Or in many circles, still, either "anti-religious unless you're Pagan", or the ever-popular "everyone but Christians is ok".
