[QUOTE="The Levitator, post: 4095704, member: 40099"] I wholly intended to tell them who I was and exactly what I was hoping to do and asking permission before taking the camera out of the bag. I shouldn't have assumed that people would assume that I would do that. I used to do videography as a part-time income, and even when I was hired by the family, I would still talk to the funeral director and be very clear about who I was and clear it with them, even if I was already hired to do the job. I also have no intention of videotaping anything at either the memorial or the funeral service. My only thought was that afterward, perhaps some people might want to get together and share something. I thought it might be nice if there were a few fellow Enworlder's there that might want to put a little something together to share with the community, separate from the official ceremonies of the family. I understand that this is the internet and we don't know each other personally, so I try not to get offended when people sometimes worry that I'm some disrespectful nutjob because for all they know, I am. Well, I am a bit of a nutjob (I'm a magician for a living ;) ) but I am a harmless and respectful nutjob. :) The idea of a personal journal wasn't even mine. One of the players in my online group suggested it as something that might be thoughtful and cathartic. I think they were also hoping that I might have something to share with all of them, as they are too far away to make it there themselves. I do plan to post a blog about my experience today, more for myself than anything. I went to GenCon as a kid to meet Gary because even then I recognized how much his game had affected my life. I had a very bad childhood and role-playing really helped me through some tough times. Even though I didn't have the guts to sit at his table or say much more than "hi", I'm glad I got to meet someone whom I felt had, at least indirectly, helped me deal with physical and sexual abuse, my parents nasty divorce, and the loss of my grandfather, all within a couple of years. I'm also glad for the opportunity to attend and pay my final respects and have no intention of showing the slightest amount of disrespect. [/QUOTE]
