I just realized I've been lurking on here for a little while and I never introduced myself!
Hi, I'm spectacles_ak. I live in Fairbanks, Alaska which is smack in the middle of the state. This is going to be my first convention (not counting a star trek one I went to with my folks when I was 9) and I'm really looking forward to this.
As my handle might imply, I am an optician by trade. I am pretty good at making eyeglasses, though I am much better at selling and fixing them.
Anyway, looking forward to the convention and finally meeting other mlpfim fans.
