Comics coming out.
I don't work in the town where I live. This has the great advantage that I don't meet my students when I'm out.
There's always a first contact though. Monkshappyriver isn't that far away from D-village. Last Saturday when I wanted to collect my Buffy comics (they weren't in yet) at the local comic book shop I bumped into three year 9 students who wanted to get their manga fix. They were of the polite, friendly and nerdy variety and we had a very short chat in which I didn't reveal what I was trying to purchase. Maybe they'll think I just wanted to buy a postcard but I bet they asked at the counter what that lady who just left the shop had wanted. Nevermind. There's another girl in that year who knows about my Buffy fandom because we bonded over her Spike crush and she came dressed as Faith to the Carnival fancy dress party - and I recognised the costume. She's heavily into Take That at the moment though.
