The gingerlessness, I should clarify, is because young ginger, still in
art school, saw a plug for LGM 2007 on (I believe) the Inkscape site and
thought "Awesome! That's just a few metro stops from home. I should go."
then went for a few hours, felt overwhelming feelings of outsiderness
(the issue of "no one like me is here") and went home. Thought about the
experience for two years, came back in 2009 and talked about it. Just to
give a little extra perspective on the outsider issue.
But at this point, ginger, I think you should relish the feeling that
"no one is like me" (to paraphrase). We live in a world of imitations,
artificiality, and the bourgeoisie (plus the bourgeoisie wannabes).
Like this countercurrent about the involvement of women at LGM, I think
you will find that people at LGM will let you and others be what you
want to be.
