The Austin book drive last month collected three thousand books for kids. It was run by fans who usually just debate online. What part of the charity work changed your view? Was it the teamwork or seeing fans in a new light? I helped at a concert cleanup and the change from online fights to real working together was weird. Everyone focused on the task, not who shipped what or which album was best. That practical side of fandom doesn't get enough attention.

Saw a client jump once and knock over half the product bottles.

Tried them and they fell apart... not good for messy batters.

Got an example where flame color caught something digital gear missed, @black.claire?

Used to find that kind of work tedious, but now it feels different somehow.
