Geoff Johns: "I'll make a note of it."
Later that night on the roof, as we start discussing comics we hate, a slightly buzzed Stu yells "you should have asked Geoff if Superboy Prime could punch Judd Winnick's head off!"
About four hours later at the bar, an innebriated Stu, Cobie, Cali, and several others are laughing and yelling and STU starts going "I"M GOING TO PUNCH JUDD WINNICK'S HEAD OFF! [b]BAM!!!". And then a punch of us started yelling it. Several times. REALLY loud. I was laughing so hard I was crying. [/b] I also seem to recall emphatically declaring Judd Winick the Worst Real World Cast Member ever, and then screaming for Pam's freedom.

I'm home! This was the best vacation I've had in a very long time! First, special thanks to Seymour, Director and Kent for being such great roomies. You guys space-rawk! Sharing a room with you guys was a total blast! And our time in the "Love Shack", as CJ called it, may soon inspire a new LMB story. Thanks also go to Kent for being the driving force for this gathering and for Gary for all his hard work making our booth fabulous! Most of all, thanks to everyone who was there for an awesome time and everyone here for making Legion World more than just a cool Web site. It's a real community--even a family.  to everyone!

Well, it was a long day, but I finally made it home.
This is the third time I've had the mass opportunity to put names and faces to people I'd never met in real life but knew through fandom, and I think it was the best. I met so many great people, though I think there were a few I missed. Legion World really is a special place.
It was a leap of faith opening my room to three "strangers," but it worked out amazingly well. You guys were great.
Here's to the next one big one! (I have an idea, but I'll wait 'til the dust has settled from this one.)

Seymour, I still fully expect to see the venus flytrap at our next outing... complete with flower-y collar. Just so you know.

Speaking of what Seymour wore, I want everyone on Legion World to know he wore his Star Boy costume on Saturday and he looked awesome!

And now, for your enjoyment, a selection of my pictures from the con. I've tried to leave out those who I thought would prefer to be left out. If anyone else would prefer to not be portrayed, say the word and I'll take the pic down. Click here. Now, Abin and Faraway need to get their pics up somewhere. I think each of them took more photos than the rest of us combined.

I took close to 300 pics. It's gonna take me a while to sort them out (About half of them will wind up deleted because of focus issues, etc...)
I'll get them up as soon as I can.

Sudro, thank you for the great pics! You captured things beautifully.

OK we've been back in the house for about 2 hours and are both dead on our feet. We are going to wait for our cases (yes they didnt make it home on the same plane, but they should arrive later tonight) I have not even looked at the photos but am off tomorrow so will have a go at loading some up soon. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for looking after Gigi and I and being so much fun to be around that I wanna come back.  So many memeories, so many one liners to tease you guys with. And i got to talk with Paul Levitz Got to go now.....sleep taking over......must resist.... ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Awesome! Seeing everyone together really reminds me of the Wizard World gathering. When you're with good people the time really really flies.
