I love to have the perscective of a noob and a 3.0er. You sir (or madam) are a welcome addition to our community. I am a 1.0er (is that even a thing?) and started not far from SBIX @ the Ithaca State theater 9/26/91 at the ripe age of 16. I have been to clifford, went, oswego, 8, and SBIX. IX was special for me because I grew up in the area and got to make my return part of a vacation. I got to see friends I grew up with and make new friends. My friend and his sister tried your glasses by the ferris wheel. It makes me happy to know that as we vets begin to dwindle in numbers that we will be replaced be people like yourself to carry the torch into the future. Even if it is all storage space.
