Back From MFF!

[the_gneech]

Yays:

• Hung out with Vince, T'Chall, Bauske, Ben (not Ben Bear), Ben Bear (not the other Ben), Derrick Dasenbrock, Spiritwolf, Kuddlepup, BJ Buttons, LKCMSL, Sheperdwolf, Confused00, Adam Fullerton, Redkam, and lots of other people whose identities are rapidly slipping through the cracks in my brain as I fall asleep against my will. I love you all! Virtual group hug! ^.^ I even got to see WalksAmongStars for a few minutes, which only happens like every 20 months or so. (Sorry I couldn't make the post-con dinner, dude, I would have loved to, but I was on a plane!) Oh, and I met Leona!


• Special hung-out-with mention goes out to "The Artist Formerly Known as Herbie." I bring this up particularly because once I was such a stuttering fanboy that I could barely bring myself to stay in the room and say hello to the guy, much less sit at a table and exchange ironic looks as we're accosted by the Fanboy From Hell. (Herbie The Unknown Artist was also very complimentary about my writing, which is always an ego boost. Thanks, dude!)


• I drew Slim the Jackalope! And a largish art piece for Wielder! And a bit of i.s.o. fanart for Vince's sketchbook! And a badge for Hallan! And a couple of other random sketches which are also falling through the cracks in my brain.

Boos:

• I seem to have lost another wedding ring, unless Ben Bear finds it in the room. -.- Argh! I take it off to go through the metal detectors at the airport and put it in my wallet, but my wallet is in such a deteriorated condition that it must have escaped. Le sigh! I'm not depressed about this one the way I was about last time, because the one I lost that time was the actual wedding ring, not a replacement. But crikey, I don't wanna be replacing wedding rings every five years!


• Yappy Fox got hit by a car! 0.o He's alive and nursing some contusions and a limp, but fortunately seems to have escaped without broken bones or anything. He was looking much better today than Saturday, fortunately. Get well soon, Yappy! (I realize that Yappy barely knows who I am, but still, he's just one of those people you've gotta admire. So I wish him well!)


• I didn't get to any dances! Although from what I heard, it doesn't sound like I missed much.

All in all, I had a great time, except for the wedding ring problem. I still have to connect with Confused00 and work out the final numbers for the dealer table, send a check to Ben Bear for the room, connect with Max Blackrabbit for the pic I commished but had to leave before it was done, and call the hotel to see if anybody turned in a gold ring to lost and found.

G'nite, everybody, and have an awesome tomorrow!

Welcome back! I missed ya! Wish I could have gone, but then again, I have writing I wouldn't have been able to do there, so I guess it was best I didn't go. -Frisk

Thanks! :) -TG

I showed my mother the badge you did for me (thank you!). She thought it was "the cutest one I have yet". :)

Hallan

PS- I sincerely hope I was not "The Fanboy from Hell".

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Hee :)

Have no worries, you are so very NOT the Fanboy From Hell. Don't get me started on THAT guy!

-The Gneech

[hallan.livejournal.com]

Whew. Thank you. Given my usual lack of social skills, I -always- worry. Though now you have my curiousity piqued. I may have to ask for the story over AIM after I get done with work today. :)

Hallan

Of course you're not the "Fanboy From Hell". That title is reserved for me. ;=3

[exatron.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear that you had fun.

The wedding ring problem is a bummer. I hope you find it and think of a way to make sure you can't lose it again.

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :) cyberhorn's idea is a good one, I'll try it. :)

this dragon when going through security check points slips his rings onto his keys ring (mine are thin bands) they stay locked on there till im reasonably certain that i can put them back on

its just an idea

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Great idea! Thanks! I'll do that -- when I get another replacement ring. -.-

Glad you had a good time. I need to get back to that con myself one of these days, I haven't seen it since the first two years.

*hugs*
take care

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's been what, two years since I saw you last? And that was a hit-and-run hello in a hallway!

God, if it's been that recently, it would have had to been at AC '03, because other than that, I haven't been to anything other than Megaplex down here in FL since 2001. I just haven't been able to get out to any other cons. And though I remember catching you in a hallway, at I guess it'd have had to be AC. Well, I'm moving to Jacksonville in a little under a week. Hopefully that will bring with it opertunities to get more of a cash flow going, and the ability to get out to more fun stuff.

*wags*
Xoa
who will have to catch you when we're not going in opposite directions one of these days.

You forgot to mention the fire alarm under "Boos". Especially for me, given that I was freezing my tail off! ;-)

-Spiritwolf.

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Well, I didn't mind the fire alarm that much myself, but I can see how it was a problem for you...

Although given the whole invisibility thing, I'd expect you to be used to cold. ;)

-The Gneech

[invisiblewolf.livejournal.com]

If I had warm clothes on, it would have been a lot more fun, trust me. :-)

And why do you think I moved out of BumF...East, NY and over to Phoenix?! I can go invisible for almost 12 months out of the year without being cold! ;-)

-Spiritwolf.

[hallan.livejournal.com]

Were you wearing shoes? I wasn't. BRRRR. At least I didn't step in an icy puddle this year.

Hallan

[invisiblewolf.livejournal.com]

Thankfully, I was wearing sneakers. And yeah, I'm glad it wasn't precipitating outside! :-)

-Spiritwolf.

[confusedoo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, email me about the table. I have the money from it, Dustin has the left over merchandise. I got home at 2 am last night, so I'm pretty out of it. When I gave you the $40 to get change for the table did you take the $14 I owed you out of it? I didn't count the money when you came back. You can either email me @aol.com or catch me on AIM. It's just my lj username in either case.

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

E-mail sent!

-TG

[kylet.livejournal.com]

Full weekend, no? @_@ Good seein' ya again ^.^

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

It was indeed, both of those!

I love the sketchbook piece, BTW. ^.^ Is it okay if I run it as a Saturday Grab Bag?

-TG

[kylet.livejournal.com]

Lemme see the scan first, I can't remember how horrible last-minute Drezzer came out x_x

PS, just noticed your current mood... "memememememee..."

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

*chuckles* Got the ref! Well done. ;)

And Drezzer is fine! It's a great pic all around.

I hope the ring turns up and that Yappy will git well soon :> ... thanks for the neat recap....!

[walksamongstars.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's a busy job keeping the heavens and earth all in order. Only have so much time to swing by and stop and chat! And well, you know how those cons are and trying to plan anything ;)
