Closer to how I feel than "you have that space that you can openly be yourself in" is "a space I enjoy being in is a place where I can openly be myself." As in, I'm not in a queer fiber arts community, but that I observed that the fiber arts community as a whole appeared to be queer-friendly, and took that as an invitation to have it be a space where I could be myself. That is indeed lovely. Things continue to go very well.
As far as having a great time at the show, I am hoping that my greater comfort and self-assurance at being Out In Public will improve my interactions with other attendees beyond how it was last year, when I was much more tentative; and I am racing the show with a pair of socks I'm hoping to finish in time to wear them there.
