Home Again

[przed]

Back from SHareCon and in the thick of things once again, but I had such a wonderful time. It was all hanging out with old friends and meeting new people, watching vids, watching episodes, watching the slashiest bits of all the episodes, going to panels, going for meals and just generally having a fabulous time. flamingoslim throws the best cons.

One of the best things, apart from the people, who are all fab, was being reminded just how much I love, love, LOVE Starsky & Hutch. It was one of the first shows that pinged my budding slasher's heart when I was ten. I can still remember watching The Fix for the first time and realizing that there was something going on that was making me feel all tingly all over. And the boys still do that to me.

I'm realistic enough to know I'm just not going to have time for a full write up of the weekend, but here are a few random things that came out of the con:

I have an actual, concrete and do-able idea for a Starsky & Hutch story! \o/

I have promised dorinda and msmoat to finally make the I Spy vid I've wanted to do for, oh, years and years.

msmoat informed me that a Canadian company has put out a box of the complete Equalizer. How did I not know this?! I can finally watch Splinters again!

I've had a mashup of "Don't Give Up on Us Baby" and "Discovery Channel" stuck in my head for two days now. I blame Flamingo. And David Soul.

Sounds like a wonderful con! Glad you had a good time. And yes, I share your feelings for S&H but have never felt even remotely inspired to write them. I think it might be because they're so quintessentially American and I don't believe I could get inside their heads!

Glad you had such a good time! The VCon on LJ was pretty interesting but wouldn't beat the real thing.
A mashup of "Don't Give Up on Us Baby" and "Discovery Channel" sounds pretty awesome. Or awful, could go either way. *g*

It was fabulous, wasn't it? I have been so lucky with cons in the last couple of months. *g* Seriously, I do feel like I've been reminded that, yes, this is where I belong!

Yay for stories! Shall we both submit stories for the advent calendar?

Yay for I Spy vid!!!!!!

Visual Entertainment is the name of that Canadian company. *g*

That vid show was such a revelation to me. Not only all the vids I had no idea were being produced, and the quality of them, but all the reminders about why I love this show. I want to write!

Oh I am so glad it went well - and you deserve to be able to lean back and relax after Bistocon!

S&H isn't my thing, but I can relate to everything you say here: old friends, new friends, vids, eps, panels, people, and constant chat that is all, always, about a shared love.

Sounds like a great con.

I'm so glad you came! It was a fabulous weekend and I do love a good wallow in fandom.

That is a scary mashup. LOL! Those gorillas singing to each other! *snirk*

I've had a mashup of "Don't Give Up on Us Baby" and "Discovery Channel" stuck in my head for two days now. This sounds brilliant... and painful. :D

Glad you had a good time!

I'm hoping to make it to Sharcon next year! And did you say they are releasing a box set of the Equaluzer! Is it already out?

A new I Spy vid!! Absolutely great!!

I am thinking to learn making vids for some time now and I bought a new book about IMovie some months ago, because I now have IMovie on my pc. Well... the book is really nicely written, but it's a bit intimidating, too. I got the impression that it is a lot of *really* hard work to do a vid.

Do you already know what kind of vid it will be? A dark one or a light one?
