Flashing back to 2004 is not a weird experience for me. I had been living in Clemson by myself, working at the university library. I moved to Aiken to live with the girl who would become my wife, but I was pretty miserable because I was working a lousy, soul-murdering job in a wheel factory. To the point that it drove me to go back to school in 2005 for my Master's Degree. This choice changed my life and put me on a much different trajectory. So while 2004 did lead some good things it was a pretty depressing year. Not sure what this DreamCon you speak of is though...
