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

: 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) =)

Hehe. "You know that Trinity..." "Shut UP already!"

A couple of things stand out for me. One was being out front, putting badges together. We were right by the front doors, and there was a small crowd of 10 or 15 people visible. At one point I poked my head out the door to see if more folks had shown up and learned that there were a couple hundred, lined up all the way around the corner. Miguel showed up about then and he wandered out, showman that he is, and hung around with the crowd for a bit. While out there, he not only found Randy Glass, who no one had been in touch with all afternoon, but also Peter Tamte, ex-Bungie and current head of Destineer (publisher of Mac Halo), standing in line with everyone else.

Another thing was seeing Jason Jones show up and subject himself to the scrutiny of the crowd. He's a friendly, normal guy in person, but I get the feeling that being in front of crowds is not his favorite thing to do. The fact that he did it, though, says a lot about him and a lot about this fan community.

One last thing was having a goodly chunk of b.org stay over at my house. You couldn't meet a nicer bunch of guys (well, except maybe for that shifty "Wu" character - not too sure about him), although my kids were a bit surprised. "Dad! There are guys sleeping all over the place! Did they come back with you?" :-)
