* My first event was Candlemas of 1992: I went with some friends from college.  I hit the ground running in 1993 with [[Phelim Gervase]], primarily focused on the group on campus.  Baroness Louise was one of the people who would regularly talk to me, and helped me feel like I belonged.

* My first war was Pennsic of 1997. My son was 1 year old, and stayed behind. We camped with the Moritu.

I did a lot of shopping, a lot of partying, and had a lot of fun.
