Heh. =)

I think I was called "Bob" and "Smacky" during the course of the fanfest. It's a shame, since "Lord SmackyBob" is just plain fun to say out loud in a big, silly voice.

I noticed that when someone at the fanfest wanted to talk to someone they didn't know, they made eye contact and said 'hey' instead of bothering to check any names. If two people did know each other from the 'net, they did tend to use Myth names. I only learned one person's real name, and that was on the train afterwards. =)
