Awww. Wish I could have been there! I think a part of my confidence was having one close geeky friend when I was 12-14. (Makes me think of the studies done on protesting, where a group would not protest an injustice on their own initiative, but if a plant in the audience spoke up, the group would back that person up. Humans, man: we're hardwired to need backup!)
