As always one of the best parts of the Convention was meeting up with the peeps. We had a lot of New folks and that is always fun. Meeting people who have either just discovered the fun of the movies and or shows or have just found out that the group exists. I met a number of newbies this trip, I crashed Anita's Newbie meeting. Sorry Ms King. Seeing the oldies but goodies is always great. I have the super roomoies and all the friends I have been fourtunate enough to spend time with over the years. I always have a little feeling of oh, I wish I had spent more quality time with this one or that one but once the con starts for me it just picks up speed and next thing I know it's Monday.
Highlander Stephanie I have a couple or 4 Stephanies in my life so this one is called Highlander Stephanie. When I say Stephanie was blah, they ask which one and if I say Highlander stephanie...they know it is this one. Thgsi was at the Acting Workshop put together by Marilyn and Rylie.			Marilyn, Anita and Nic Also during the workshop doing an Improv scene.
Bob and Anita Hanging out in the Bar at night, I just happened to passing by the bar and thought I would take a photo.....not that I stayed....			Richard Ridings, Ken Gord, and unfortunately a woman who's name I am blanking on. I am dreadful with names, nouns in general actually , proper or otherwise. Names are the more obvious. All weekend I wanted to call Ken Gord Ron Gold, I still do. Even if I have known people for years, I will drop their name and there is no getting it back. I think the worst was when I went to introduce my boss of 5 years and lost her name. Anyway, every night there were some of us in the bar socializing and having fun.
Stephanie,Me, John, Farris, Heather, Nic, and Sharon. Some of the nicest people you could meet. Nic and Sharon are my most excellant roommates. I love how in this picture it looks like farris' arms go all the way across. My friend the jolly red giant.			John the MOZ I always am happy to see John, unfortunately he is often so busy we do not get to chat very much, which probably works in my favor....keeps me mysterious.
Karin and Myself Not that I am any judge but it seemed Karin had a much bigger role in the work she did for this event than in the past. I think it is difficuylt for people to see just how hard people work to put these things together, and for nothing more than their passion for the group. I do not agree with how they do 'everything' but I have yet to have a con where I walked away unhappy. People like Karin are the ones who make that happen. I volunteer but that is not on the same playing field of time and commitment. I was glad to catch a little chat time with Karin, I think very few did and you had to be up pretty early to do it.			Richard and Penny This was the first HLWW event that she had been too and I do hope she had fun. I am often surprised and impressed when I see the first timers volunteer. I have to admit it is a great way to meet people and you have a more personal experience with the con itself.
My nephew Kevin Kevin lives in LA so while I was in town I made a point to tourture him and make him hang out with me.			I am spelling this wrong most likely but this is Jodie. She is friends with Nic from Michigan. She joined us Sunday and then we went to Marina Del Ray for a few days. I really enoyed meeting her and we had a great time including goofing around with the Bubba Gump Shrimp photo bench. Mamma always said goofy is as goofy does. Sometimes dignity must be sacrificed for fun.
