Flutterby™! : Unclear on the concept

Debra over at Pursed Lips linked to fallout from coexisting conventions in the same venue as the recent TES30 event that, I think, completely describes the difference in perspectives:

"I'm killing myself to fill the room with an Oprah Winfrey kind of day," she said. "And surrounding me is everything degrading, disgusting and demeaning about the human race."

Um. Yeah. But if Kris Grippo had given up on the whole Oprah Winfrey thing and instead experienced the joyful celebration that was going on outside her room (and apparently limited horizons), she could have turned the weekend into an incredible uplifting and enlightening experience.
