		<description>It was pretty hectic.  I need to download my pics, too.

Anthony Daniels (aka C3PO) was a riot.  He hosted the Dawn Lookalike contest.  That was interesting.  Alan Tudyk (aka Wash) and Summer Glau (aka River Tam) from Firefly/Serenity were there, and had some superbly fun Q&amp;A sessions.  Nathan Phillion (Malcom Reynolds) called Alan during the middle of one of his panels, so we had him on speakerphone over the PA system.

But for the group here, you guys missed out on the Mythbusters build team.  Tori Bellaci, Kary Byron, and Grant Imahara were all there.  Well, Tori was there early, but Kary and Grant were late.  They had difficulities with weather, and then their plane caught on fire and they had to make an emergency landing.  They assured us that they didn&#039;t cause the fire, but their fellow plane passengers were skeptical.  They also shared some excised clips that will never air on Discovery Channel.</description>

		<description>Irishman!

&lt;b&gt;I lost your phone number&lt;/b&gt;! That&#039;s why I didn&#039;t call. I looked around the hotel room for it but I think the cleaning crew may have chucked it. I&#039;m &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; sorry about that.

I&#039;m working on a DragonCon blog entry and posting the zillions of pictures I took. :-)</description>

		<description>Funny story.  I flew in to Dragon*Con with a buddy on Thursday.  After checking in and getting registered and stuff, we&#039;re wandering through the Hyatt lobby and I spotted Phil from across the room. Never met in person before, so he was a bit puzzled at who was yelling his name from across the room to get his attention.  Of course that was before the real crowd hit and you couldn&#039;t walk across the Hyatt lobby, you had to squeeze in line and mingle through all the bodies.</description>

		<description>Wow, BA, great gig.  While I was accused of not teaching (at times), I did enjoy the nearly two months off during June, July and August (not to mention all the other holidays...); I guess I didn&#039;t have it so bad after all...</description>
