    Oh J. So many good times to reminice. I've got to add to your list though. Although this is only some stuff and not all. Too many to name.

    having Bert keep me up all hours of the night with his Chainsaw which he would turn on while he slept. (no pic)

    Meeting such cool SB'ers and their lovely significant others. I didn't know SB'ers were such studs!.

    Playing VIP room police men with Greg at the Strangeco Party and Tara McPherson basically walking by us and telling us to get the Eff out of the way. Classic.

    having a scantily clad warrior Valkyrie beat me with a stick. ( I asked her to)

    Oh there's a filter on the boards, everyone with over a thousand posts has access to a "Fresh Meat" button in the forums and you can only read stuff marked by it once you get past 1000 posts. It was a pretty interesting story tho..
    And the for sale section? Forget about it...the "no Fresh Meat" deals are crazy.

    Was the Lorne/Hiro fight the only fight of the Con?

    Seems like past years, fights were more common...

    I totally agree. He looked out for all the SB members and gave first class service. Thanks Lorne, it was good to meet you.

    thanks for the kind words everybody...just now starting to recover from everything. breakdown, the zoo, and a red-eye flight took a lot out of me at the end...

    and yes, my hair is gone...funny though, looking at that picture makes it look like I'm wearing that plastic hair helmet Devo used to sell...it's not much better in person, but it sure as hell doesn't look like that!

    R.I.P. Longhair Lorne.

    had a lot of fun...and will get in touch with everybody who wrote me as soon as I can...

    Lorne is Lev's one man army. He's everywhere and all about business. Sometimes I have to remind him to relax and not be so serious :lol: Thanks Lorne.

    Some company capitalizing on a not so respectful represenation of Obama, and getting away with it by donating a whole dollar for each one sold at 20 bucks a pop.

    TT was selling them at SDCC. I bought one for Glenn.

    The packaging is priceless tho' IMHO, as it says above the figure itself in a window box, "an action figure we can believe in..."
