Me in 2015: wow!!! Harry Potter World is amazing! I’ll buy a magic wand and fight dragons and …. look at the castle!! 
Me in 2024: I’m in a state that doesn’t acknowledge my existence trying to avoid giving any money or attention to a horrible, wealthy, transphobe 😓

 I should really not be allowed to buy clothing anymore. I own zero nice dress shoes aside from docs, but have managed to waste money on a designer rhinestone jacket and pirate skort over one month. Neither of which I can justifiably wear for work, or anything practical.

He had such a bad experience with people being cliquey there and ignoring him that he’s ready to stop trying to get into the industry. 😥😰 I knew there are some cultural issues at that con and area but had no idea they were so bad, and encouraged him to maybe look at other cities in the US and their cons. Pitch your city’s infosec community and scene and I’ll share with him?

If you currently work in the #ics space as an asset operator, engineer, security professional, or owner (could be Oil and Gas, Transportation, Electric, Water, any type of Manufacturing, etc), we would love for you to come and learn more about what is going on in the industrial cybersecurity landscape, chat with fellow vertical operators, and enjoy a nice dinner.

 Las Vegas is supposed to cater to vices but it’s astronomically difficult to find somewhere to play Baldurs Gate, have a really good gin martini, and a giant chocolate mousse.
