Reminds me of the time I was driving to Philadelphia for the ARSC conference, 
and I decided to leave in the evening, stay overnight in Niagara or Buffalo, 
then continue on. Customs officer naturally wonders why a lone guy is crossing 
the border in the evening (to blow up buildings and take your jobs, naturally) 
so I showed him the ARSC information, and then said "It's like a Trekkies 
Convention, with records." He said "I can relate to that" and sent me on my way.

(Coincidence on that trip: I stopped at the Lewiston Post Office and collected 
a box of 78s that looked as if it might have been repacked, but had also been 
shipped in a much used box, with no packing materials, sent by Media Mail when 
I'd paid for Priority, and everything was smashed to smithereens.)
