******RP CURVE Forum The Convention Speaker (mid da..

Scotti noticed that I was nervous. We sat next to eachother. The speaker put her on the spot and had the entire arena laughing at her disconnected response. I thought that was really mean. I got up halfway out of my chair to stand up for her, but Scottie seemed to know my intentions and stopped me as she nodded her head "don't" - I did anyway.

(the room went silent) as I said:

"we are all hear for the same reason

there's no need to discriminate!

please continue."

before sitting I noticed that my unusal neighbor with the suspicious house was sitting some rows back on the otherside of the arena, and I remained standing sort of zoned out by his presence, then Scotti got my attention to sit.
