Good heavens, you're a lot more serious about Elfquest than I ever was. I was into it for a while in the early days, but dropped off many years ago. (I'm impressed, though -- I wasn't aware that there was anyone else on Earth who has both Elf-Trek and Elf-Thing. Ah, fond memories of the horrible B&W parody boom...)
#51: the comic book store was probably The Outer Limits, where I spend *vast* amounts of money every week. It's the only good comics store in Waltham.
#58: remarkable how many people started with that particular con. I have fond memories of that con. (Including running the SCA table there.)
#78 et al: my advice is to find something fun to noodle with. That's how I've learned all of the instruments I play (all badly, but well enough to be recognizable as music). For example, I spent years just pulling out the hammered dulcimer occasionally and making random pleasant noises with it (it's fairly hard to make unpleasant noises with a hammered dulcimer). About five or six years later, I found that I'd started to understand it well enough to actually make it do what I wanted.
#88: Ah, Cosmic. It's time to revive Cosmic around here -- I miss it.
