Not much to tell. Lots to tell. I grew up a Navy brat and settled in Mipples. I work for a wind energy company, rock it in two bands, and am engaged to the most amazing man a girl could ask for.

Bob Wagner

Aka The Guy They Used To Call Munchkin Guy. It's a long and sordid story but the short version is I used to be the guy who spent all weekend running Munchkin. Now I'm the guy who spends all weekend running everything *but* Munchkin. Some people look forward to Christmas all year, me, I look forward to Con and spending four days playing silly board and card games when I'm not dancing(badly)or fighting in the boffer pit. Looking forward to seeing all of you again this year!

Slightly deranged mountain biker, inline skater, snowboarder, scuba diver, and kiteboarder. That's almost too many interests. Also, I make costumes that can be seen at science fiction conventions and other venues.

Samantha Alexis Katra Bitner

1. I am a Lesbian Feminist who sees more communication as the answer.
1a. Trans women are women, and trans men are men. Period.
2. I hold an Anti-Federalist Conservative Libertarian view of the world.
3. I am a sexual being, with all the rights any other being has.
4. Science talks about how things are, Religion and Philosophy discuss
why things are. Both are equally respected in my world.

These are only parts of a whole. No one thing defines me. Get to know me as a person before you judge.

If you disagree with me, that's fine, as long as we can agree to disagree. Otherwise, feel fr… Read more
