It...Thank you so much for your 221B Con write-ups! It's definitely been interesting hearing the perspective of someone who's more established with this whole Sherlock Holmes enthusiast thing and who knows more about the community at large than many of us do. I'm glad you enjoyed the convention - I worried that some of the (relatively) older attendees might not, but the ones I chatted with seemed to be having as much fun as us younger folk.<br /><br />I'm also popping by to say thanks because I, like theana, was one of the recipients of your donated books (the Irene Adler with the ace of hearts), and I ended up with Good Night, Mr. Holmes and Good Morning, Irene by Carole Nelson Douglas, which I've been meaning to get my hands on for a long time. I'm just adoring them so far! I'm a huge fan of Irene Adler in all incarnations, and this one is a treat to read. So, thank you, once again, for prolonging my Sherlockian enjoyment far beyond the end of the con. :)Chelseahttp://makokitten.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512050174377678428.post-62250842021343949592013-04-16T22:43:40.706-05:002013-04-16T22:43:40.706-05:00Brad, I've enjoyed each of these 221b con post...Brad, I've enjoyed each of these 221b con posts so very much - thank you for your insight and welcoming attitude! I was at the con as well (an inbetweener of 32), and I've been wondering how these distinctly different sets of fans got on. But we all have a very wonderful thing in common - so perhaps we can learn things from each other and all have a grand time together. Until next year!

I'm also one of the twenty-something new-ish Sherlock Holmes fans. <br /><br />I just want to say that I love seeing your blog posts about it, because I'm currently wading through the myriad tumblr posts from the con and I was wondering how non-tumblrites felt about it. I know that we can get quite excited from behind out keyboards, and then you add in meeting long time friends for the first time and I was worried that some of the other con attendees might have been put off by us. So I really appreciate you saying that you liked our enthusiasm. <br /><br />@Bill Barnes: for an average age, I'd guess mid to late twenties, but I saw a whole bunch of people ranging from itty-bitty fans to dignified-and-dapper fans. There were a lot of tumblr users, and I'd say if you were counting just that group, the average age would possibly trend down a bit more to 20-21 area. At the very least the energy level of the attendees was high, so I may be estimating low :Dtheanahttp://somethingwittythiswaycomes.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512050174377678428.post-64536848770521052762013-04-15T18:34:09.261-05:002013-04-15T18:34:09.261-05:00Between your blog and the reports posted on the We...Between your blog and the reports posted on the WelcomeHolmes list it sounds like 221B was a total blast. As you alluded to in one of your earlier posts, the whole Sherlock-enthusiast world is trending female very fast.<br /><br />Question: What would you say was the average age, or age range if that's easier, of the attendees at the Con?

Maybe someday I'll get to go. :) For now, I'll just have to be satisfied with a meeting of the Hansoms...<br /><br />Which reminds me...are you going to send out a note to everyone about next month with some details? Maybe once you come back from "con land"? ;-)Faith Wallishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077049037536302869noreply@blogger.com
