These are GREAT! Where was the world-con? (I'm a bit clueless about these thigns, lol)

It says that it was held in Los Angeles, though I've heard it was technically held in Anaheim, CA. Next year, it's going to be in Yokohama, Japan, and in Denver in 2008.

And then after the panel I met Craig, Lauren, Keith, and Tom, and Craig and Lauren signed Wilt's shoe...

::screams:: YOU MET CRAIG McCRACKEN AND LAUREN FAUST!!! You are officially the coolest person EVER. Since WorldCon was in Anaheim, we all crossed our fingers in hope that we might "stumble" into them and cry noisily about how much we loved their work. Alas! it was not to be. YOUR WILT IS SO CUTE!!!! I'm so glad you put up a picture, and you are the sweetest person in the world to give such a gift to your friend! If I had something signed by Craig McCracken and Lauren Faust, I'd lock it in a safe, :blooevil:!

Everyone, thank you for the sweet comments! I now have a scary amount of pictures, so I'll write up part II and get those out as soon as I can!

Yay I'd love to see more pictures!!! :D

Yeah when I told them I was gonna mail Wilt to a friend Tom was all "No! KEEP IT FOREVER!!!" and I told him I didn't have room. He said I should make a lifesize Ed next, and I think I told him I'd have to move out and let Ed have the apartment if I did that, because there wouldn't be room for me there anymore. ;)

You missed it by six years as far as Philadelphia goes.
