Tiny Intro: this is one of (hopefully) several bits of recaps from my experiences at the 2011 Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo. Most of this was written on the train home. The rest has been tweaked a week or so later as I found a bit of time to post things.

when you run into an introvert unexpectedly do not just say “hi ^introvertnamehere!” and then wait for the introvert to respond.
say “hi ^introvertnamehere! it’s me, ^extrovertnamehere! we last saw each other at ^placewhereintrovertlastsawyou. i’m ^wayintrovertisconnectedtoyou.”

subtitled: new things can surprise you
so one time a while ago (like …8 or so years) someone invited me to my very first hockey game.
“why would i want to go to a hockey game? it’s just a bunch of guys skating and getting into fights instead of actually playing a game!” said i. but [...]

(a brief conversation had during a trivial pursuit game. the question in question was something like “name the Clinton cabinet member who something something’d…”)
“what was that scary looking woman’s name?”
“which woman?”
“you know. the scary looking one.”
“…you mean the one that looked like a man?”
“yes!”
“um…janet reno.”
“yes! that one!”
(and we were right)
