Nickname/Alternate name: Minarae, once upon a time
Facebook: I’m searchable if you really want to find me
Twitter: melindarae
Significant Other: Kevin
Random Fact: I love bocce ball and the word hemoglobin
Secret Super Power: I can identify the voice of almost any celebrity within 10 seconds or less.
Favorite Bad Bar Song: Build Me Up Buttercup
Attended Weetacon: Weetacon I, Weetacon III, then all the rest

I’m usually the one who…: ends up with incriminating pictures of herself on strangers’ cell phones
Funniest Weetacon Incident: Hm. Toss up between the time I yelled “Fuck snow!” and a homeless lady answered with “AMEN!” or the time I ordered only one pancake because “those things are fucking HUGE” and the waitress agreed with me. Of course, those may have only been funny because they happened post-Bad Bar (if you know what I mean) (and if you don’t, then YOU NEED TO BE HERE). Of course, there was also the time JenFu and I murdered “Sweet Child O’Mine”, and the time Jake and Jared massacred The Carpenters while a very lovely couple danced the night away. But I think the homeless lady thing was funnier.
Weetathlon Awards: Flagrant $10 Rule Abuser and Most Prolific Boob Flashing. My mom is SO PROUD OF ME.
Known for at Weetacon: Being Wendy Bix’s stand in yeller
Mel finally convinced me to register last year. I have to admit, before I met The Tribe, she and Kevin were the biggest draw for me. (See, I’d developed a huge crush on both of them from JCDC, 2004.)
She even let me shadow her when I felt any anxiety all weekend. She rocks hard.
