Top Ten Ways You
Know You’re at a BatB Con
| 10. |
You’re
exhausted, but you can’t go to sleep any more than
you could on Xmas eve when you were 6. |
| 9. |
You worry
that the empty suitcase you brought for all the
things you’ll be bringing home won’t be nearly big enough. |
| 8. |
You have room
for one more at your table, so you
invite Bubba to join you. And he accepts. |
| 7. |
When you’re
lost, you can yell, “Vincent!” and wait for
someone else to yell, “Catherine!” then follow the voice until you find
each other. |
| 6. |
When they’re
about to open the dealer’s room, you hover
like a vulture waiting for the roadkill to stop twitching. |
| 5. |
While
watching a certain faded, grainy bit of video (that
doesn’t exist), all the oxygen in the room disappears in one huge
collective sigh. |
| 4. |
By Tuesday,
your hotel room looks like a cross between a
cookie factory and a college dorm. |
| 3. |
Bubba’s on a
couch in the lobby reading a paperback, but
the only thing that seems odd is that it’s neither Dickens nor
Shakespeare. |
| 2. |
Your ribs
hurt, but you can’t stop hugging! |
|
And the Number One way you know you're at a BatB
con is |
| 1. |
You don’t
wanna go home! |

Top Ten Reasons You
Get Sucked into Fandom
| 10. |
You remember you REALLY liked a show called Beauty and the Beast
when you were younger. |
| 9. |
One day you decide to search on the Internet to see if there are any
other people out there who maybe remember the show too. |
| 8. |
You stumble across a couple of sites that contain something called
fan fictionand decide to read one story, just to see what this fan
fiction stuff is all about. |
| 7. |
You then read EVERY story you can find online. |
| 6. |
You frantically search for every music video you can find on YouTube. |
| 5. |
You join a list or three of like-minded people who love the show. |
| 4. |
You go from lurker to posting your thoughts about episodes and
characters. |
| 3. |
You begin to feel a part of a community of people from all over the
world who become like a big extended family. |
| 2. |
You realize the first thing you do each morning is check for
messages from your B&B pals, check websites for new postings,
and you begin to "think" B&B - noticing the many things in your
daily life that remind you of the show. |
| 1. |
And the Number One reason you get sucked into fandom: Vincent |
