Wow, I’m tired! I had a good time today at Shore Leave; I interpreted for pretty much the same people as yesterday. I also interpreted a “Terrorism in Trek” discussion that was pretty weird, because the moderators couldn’t come up with any examples of the subject matter! The masquerade contest last night was pretty good; I got several compliments on my dress. Unfortunately the deaf woman who was going to participate decided to drop out at the last minute, but she did win a workmanship award (”best first costume”) because those are decided beforehand by judges who scrutinize every aspect of the costume. The joke I was going to play on Steve Bacic backfired - I’d been planning to sneak up onstage and then follow him around the stage, but he didn’t move off the stool! Yesterday he was all over the place, but today he was just parked on that chair - oh well. I did buy a picture ($6 from a dealer upstairs) of him and I got it autographed. The two deaf women and the other interpreter and I all presented him with a copy of a packet with some sex-related signs, because he’d been trying to get me to sign them on Saturday! (That’s not the only thing he did to me, but I’ll have to write about that when I’m not so tired.) He thought they were just hilarious, and Jeffrey Willerth overheard the laughter from the next table and he wanted a copy too! So while another copy was made, he signed my copy. We then went over to share with Alexis Cruz, and I wanted him to sign the same paper…but his handler said he won’t sign anything for less than $15. Jeez! So I bought one of his photographs for $20 (good grief) and he signed it. Then we went to show Danny Strong, and one of the deaf women bought a picture of him for me (also $20) and he signed that. I think there is probably lots more I could tell but I’m pretty tired, so I will call it a night and tell more tomorrow!
