"TWO TURDS OFF!!!" - 11/08/04 01:42 AM
Okay, okay, okay ......
But that's EXACTLY what it sounded like when the gentleman that came down from Canada began announcing his discount.
Anyway, the convention was WONDERFUL!!! And meeting the other LMBP'ers/LW'ers was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!
Pretty much most of the people were the same as they are on the boards .... just a bit more intense.
It was great seeing Lash again. He was as fun as ever!! Not only that, but he was able to give the LSH creative staff his thoughts, concerns, fears, hopes and expectations. Now, all I have to do is sneak a preview copy of the new Legion of Super Heroes book in his next comic book stack!!!
hee-hee
"We're leaving now before we get lost!!"
And Stu was as marvelous as ever. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing him and talking to him again. I'm not sure what excited him more, though ... the comics or the Star Wars stuff. But he had a GREAT time on the convention floor!! And it was great having him around.
Pov was there. *choke* Pov was a TOTAL BLAST!! Believe me .... if the two of us were there at the conference all by ourselves, we coulda gotten in SOOOOOO much trouble with some of the booths. AND at Sonic!!! :-D
Pov also learned some no-no's in Texas. But we'll delve in to those at a later date.
Quislet, Esq. was GREAT!! He was always quick with a laugh. And all in all, I enjoyed being around him. Except my face hurt from smiling so much!! And as smart as he was, Quis was able to talk down on my level. My first dealing with him was when I called up to Pov's room, and Quislet answered the phone. I didn't realize it wasn't Pov, so I just asked what room he was in. I was given the room number. THEN he asked who I was. Quislet is a very trusting soul. But, with all due respect, you were so much more than anybody could have expected. *hugz* to ya!!
(Sorry I wasn't the hott stud Pov had ordered!!!!)
Outdoor Miner has the comic timing of a professional. He could pop off with something that had the whole group laughing at the most ideal moment. Not only that, but he also knows the words to the M*A*S*H theme song (And Quis, too???). He's also got the patience of Job. My word!!! But after waiting in line for 37 hours or so, we were able to see it was all worth it. Way to go Miner!!!!!!!
Kent is an absolute delight!! He was a little soft spoken, but anything he said was worth listening to. He had the ability to follow a thought through and jump ahead to see some of the implications. Unfortunately, Kent reminded me that *I* was the reason we found out Outdoor Miner knew the words to the M*A*S*H theme song. Now, if only I hadn't spilled my drink on him Saturday afternoon. :-( Sorry 'bout that.
Yellow Kid was SOOOOOOOOOOOO much more in person than his posts would suggest!! He found humour in so many things. Sharp witted. And able to link things together lightening quick. It wouldn't surprise me to see his name listed as an assistant editor on some of the books in the near future. It was also so amazing to hear him talk about his family. Had anybody else said what he said about his family, it could easily come across as bragging. But with Yellow Kid? He was so sincere and genuine that you just wanted to hear more. Thanks buddy.
Stargazer was also there, and I really feel rotten that we grabbed lunch when we should have been waiting on him. But ... Wow. Stargazer's smile lit up the whole room. (Off the record, he also had some cute dimples, too. But, as I said, that's off the record!!) He was pretty quick. He was also another one that was extremely funny!! There's no way the group would have been complete without him. He was also quite charming. And he had a twinkle in his eye the whole time. Very upbeat and always positive. Thanks for giving us a chance.
The whole group was pretty amazing. I couldn't imagine a better group of people to hang around. ESPECIALLY at a convention. They were able to pick up on any small/obscure reference and run with it. It was like hanging around some of the great people I work with in the sense that I had to watch what I said, lest they just run right anything I say right in the gutter. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
Thanks to all of you. I needed a fun-filled, relaxed, easy weekend. And all of you delivered that. I owe you more than you'll ever know.
Here's hoping I didn't scare any of ya off. If I did, I'll go back in the kennel. Willingly, this time.
I'll talk about some of the creaters and the Powers that Be at DC a little later.
AND some of the fun stuff at the convention.
