Until this weekend, I had no concept of true geekiness.

What did he sketch for you?

PS Lucky bastard.

Back when I played D&D 10 years ago I used to always dream about going to GenCon. GenCon is the mother of all Cons and was the first fantasy/sci-fi con. I believe it's still help in Wisconson where the creaters of D&D lived in the 1970s.

He sketched me a star wars Clone Trooper d00d.

It is awesome.

[DinoDoc]

I would have asked for a sketch of Jack but that's awesome as well. I wish I had gone to Comic con!

[Dinner]

I never realized ComicCon had gotten so big. Is it like one of the biggest comic conventions now? Ten years ago it was big but still not a huge deal. Now it sounds like lots of artists and writers go there.

Got pics of the sketches online yet?

Heh, the news is old. That pic was just taken as a formality so people could have a picture of it.

(fun fact: Since I didn't get her a ring, I'm putting a pretzel on her finger in that pic)

I don't come to OT much. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

(I couldn't tell what it was in the full-sized picture.)
