She read science fiction as a kid and finally found other fans in her sophomore year of college when she joined a brand-new SF club. She went to cons and made friends. Then she found out about fanzines, apazines, clubzines, etc., and was quite hooked. She was in five apas at the same time! Now she is in ANZAPA and coordinates Stipple-Apa. She goes to a few annual regional cons and attends the worldcon or NASFiC when possible. She helped at cons with badging, ops dispatch, and has been on a whole slew of panels. Her other hobbies include cats, reading, TV, movies, watching hot air balloons, gardening, attending special events, and sightseeing (especially architecture and offbeat sights).
