Really, whenever any of us does a nerdy thing, isn't it -- at best -- an homage to Theremin camp?
Fair point!
Actually Jesse's trombone retreat looked rather idyllic.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

I'll certainly bow before Theremin Camp, and I've been mocked for getting into an overly nerdy discussion about Whedonverse shows and the Joseph Campbell myth cycle AT a Bronze Posting Board Party!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait until you see the pictures of us playing on the beach and in the water! It was all my favorite things in one place.

Not at all, but that's only because I come in peace and have no need to compete.
Jesse, are you an only child? I just ask, because I am, and I have a theory that this is a thing about only children: we're not that competitive, because we didn't have to be.

I assume post, I think this would have been the 2002 PBP (or rather, the after-party up in the hospitality suite).

I am! And I think that's right. I have basically 0 competitiveness. I would like to do well in competition for myself, but I am also generally happy when others do well!

I'm in the only child club too. I don't think I'm all that competitive, I just don't want to ever fail.

I'm a youngest child. I observed the competition above me and decided it wasn't worth the effort. I was a great disappointment in my in-laws Thanksgiving board game competitions, because I preferred to actually win the game rather than go out of my way to send a competitor back to start when they were close to winning. If my beloved's family had been the Borgias, I'd never have eaten at their table.

Jesse's camp looks like the most fun! [link]
