In Response To: FanFest Memories... (SketchFactor)

: Yo - For those of you who were able to attend FanFest this year, I was
: wondering if you'd be willing to share a memorable moment or experience
: with me. I'm working on an overall recap of the event and I'd love some
: testimonials to include.

: Personally, the highlight for me was just getting a chance to meet a bunch of
: cool guys from the community. (and pretending to talk about the Matrix
: every time Louis Wu entered the area just to get him fired up) =)

: Thanks in advance.

Being the attention craving artist I am, one of the biggest things for me was to go up to Bungie people I've met before and be recognized. But what was really cool was the number of FanFest attendees (Bungie or the fans) that I recognized, and recognized me as well. Meeting the people I've been bantering with for so long now made the entire trip for me. Things like Randy Glass inviting me out for a couple drinks, or Lorraine McLees insisting on using my real name now that we've met in person. It was also a lot of fun to introduce Jaime to the friends that had come along with me to the fanfest, just for the reactions. Everything about that night reminded me just how amazingly cool Bungie is, and how well their fanbase reflects upon that.

There are lots of other memories as well, I'm still sorting them out. It's hard to believe that I actually met Miguel, joked around with Jen Taylor (watch for us being dorks on Discovery in June), helped to convince Claude that he needed to be out with at the fanfest instead of messing with pictures... Thanks to all of you for making the FanFest such a night to remember.
