*hugs* i think i just figured if i looked around i would see you. had i known you were going for the susan costume i would have come up to you. I figured id find you by finding chiro. i looked alll over for someone with fangs and a bloodstained shirt. (in hindsight i realize she was joking)
Sir  Reginald.
I will miss you, my friend Mdodd. May you find peace.
Snowy,  I am rooting for you. I hope you remain happy and as comfortable as possible.

The shirt had a blood splatter design, that's what I meant.  :)

Yes, that was a ton of fun last night.  And I still have fruit left over from Lou Malnati's.

(D'oh, I'm making a goofy face in the picture).


(Very glad you got home, ok, Alilisa.  I was thinking about you when that storm hit).

In the pic, I'm the redhead standing next to MathGeek, aka Butters, and his really nice wife, Gard.

Awww I thought I gave enough hints, GW, I'm sorry. (((GW))) maybe next time...I'll be Susan again, already gathering the stuff for that costume, more elaborate though. :D

Em, is that him then in the blue scrubs, you're to the left? (our left from this angle)

You looked great, Chiro, I finished my sandwich and all for lunch today, it was still delicious!  And yes, got home around 1:15 this morning, but least I made it and only got lost twice,  nearly headed back to Chicago both times...hmmmm....is Harry calling Susan back? ;D
I believe in True Love, Susan and Harry will always be the one true love, because even reminders of that love will always remain.

Heh, you got me beat on the shot since you were looking up :)  I didn't even know she was snapping the pic.  I feel like such a dork on that one.  Sorry Ali!  Here is the one she took with mine

The pics turned out great, MX, thanks for sharing.  And don't worry about it, I know you were busy asking questions, what did you ask him and what did he say, never did catch the questions you asked.

He asked if I liked the book, which was a hell yeah.  And if the wait  was worth it.  See previous response :D

Amazing pics. I loved your costume Alilisa, you look amazing. Great work on it. :D
And I am really happy that the "gang" had so much fun. And a bit jelaous :P ;D

Emgirl and MathGeek, we looked for you guys too, and had no clue. I only saw one Butters, in a blue scrubs, was that you? he's in one of the pics, look close by the post, is that you???  (See, to the left of the post, the guy in the blue scrubs?)


Aww, would have loved to talk to you, GW!!  Or did I scare you *snickers, then hugs*

Yep, that was me.  I'll post some of the pictures  that were taken... just as soon as I figure out how.

Here are some of the picture we got from the signing.  It was great, all the people I talked to were awesome.

I am Butters and Anne is Ms. Gard.

Jim is just funny in real life, and seemed really friendly.  I just wish we got to spend more time.

Thank you, Howl, I had so much fun making (and wearing) it! :) I can't wait to start on the next one, and hoping I have a place to wear it!

MathGeek, you and your wife look great in your costumes!  great pics too, wish we could have met you, glad to see you (even if just in pics, you know what they say "so close yet so far away" :D)

Great costumes!  I did see you guys back there - sorry I didn't get to say hi.
