About a decade ago, I attended Nibmus 2003 — one of the first Harry Potter conventions. I got attendees to sign their LJ usernames to a piece of bristle board so I could make a list to post on LJ later.  I just found that piece of bristle board.

As a friend of mine pointed out, this is a piece of fandom history. MsScribe left a kiss mark. Cassandra Clare signed some old version of her username (epicyclical). Aja’s on this. And lots of other people.

I have no idea what to do with this. I’d just recycle it, but I figure that there’s got to be someone out there who wants it/knows someone who could maybe auction it off for charity? IDK. Thoughts? Ideas? Anyone actually want this?

bookshop

oh my god. *covers face with hands*  IT IS ALWAYS 2003. (p.s. apparently “msscribe” is a popular tumblr tag.  FANDOM.)

dementedsiren

Oh my god is right. Reading those names is like a gut punch straight in the feels. There’s so much history there, so many relationships, some still active, some lost to time. It’s fandom history and personal history, all in one image.

cripes i know a fuckload of people on this. i’m not there, though, i was brand new to hp fandom then.

nostalgia harrypotter

No, people I follow, they were horrible.

lol this VHS nostalgia going around my dash just has my inner angry 12 year old screaming DON’T YOU REMEMBER HOW TERRIBLE VIDEOTAPES ARE? LIKE WHEN THEY GET CAUGHT IN THE MACHINE OR WON’T REWIND OR ERASE PORTIONS FOR NO REASON OR ARE LABELED AS SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THEY ARE? AND WHAT THE HELL IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SP/LP/EP ANYWAY?? Don’t worry, inner preteen, I’ll always remember. Always.

VHS nostalgia or the opposite of nostalgia i guess

Today’s Special 

stackedcrooked

Oh man I used to watch this on PBS when I was like four or five I think and it gave me such a complex. The whole thing is that there’s a mannequin who comes alive at night and I remember one time he asked the lady something like, “But what happens if when I close my eyes and go to sleep, I forget to breathe?” and it just terrified me. I would try to stay awake as long as I could so I wouldn’t die in my sleep.

I was a weird kid.

Jeff Hyslop played Jeff, the mannequin and he was my #1 crush! He was in the panto of Aladdin and the CBC broadcasted it and Karen Kain, my childhood HERO, was Scheherazade and I have her autobiography Movement Never Lies and my mum took my sister and I to see his one man show when I was 10 and he signed my program !!! and now he teaches musical theatre in the little town near the island where my parents hae property.

TODAY’S SPECIAL!!!!

You know, before I had Internet access I was half-convinced this show was one of my fever dreams of my preschool years. But yes, Today’s Special!!! It was the best. I felt terrible every time Jeff lost his hat.
