Ok I'm a geek.
I know I'm a geek.
I'm A-OK with that fact.

There are a lot of stigma that come with being a Sci- Fi fan.
When I mention that I enjoy going to Star Trek conventions, people think "Oh one of those" and get one picture in their head.
The sad lonely geek, with no sex life.

The rest of us however, are there to par-TAY! Booze and boobs are everywhere at these conventions. It's a 3 day excuse to party, drink and do whatever and whoever. You are usually out of town so feel free to get WILD. Sexy costumes of all sorts. Star wars has Princess Leih. You can usually find her being groped by any number of Chewbaccas. There's always a large number of alien tramps. All of which I'm sure Captain Kirk would have gladly had a roll in the hay with.

And there are contests. usually the girls play dirty to win the contests. Some will make out with everyone in the room to win the biggest slut award.

The coveted biggest boob award is very closely judged (and there's plenty of plus sized women !)

There's the "Stripper, liquor and twister" Championship to consider. (world title currently held by my dear friend)

I myself employed dirty tactics and won a wet t-shirt contest.

I was niether wet not wearing a t-shirt (well ... we'll just let that one go).

At the end of the weekend you are almost sad to see it all end.

And it's difficult to adjust to normal life again. When you've spent 3 days nearly naked and groping anyone you happen to pass, it's difficult to break the habit.
But after 3 days of staying up and drinking all day and night, the end can also come as a relief.

So the next time I tell you I'm going to a convention, don't think "oh you poor geek" because when I'm there, I'm a rockstar and I know you're jealous.
