Jim joked that he now sports Twilight hair. We promised him that if he starts sparkling, we'll put him out of his misery.

But, like Harry, his contract extends beyond death.  I have notified his editor of such.

So before signing he didn't check to find out if his publisher uses Wolfram & Hart for their legal boilerplate, did he?

Yup.  Shannon's the only sparkly one allowed in the Butcher household!

I showed it to Jim:
JIM: Shannon looks at that and says "You look like you've had a stroke." :)
ME: "A stroke... of GENIUS!"


I had the most amazing time, folks.  It was great to meet so many of you in person, after all these years!

Well done on the ref. :D

Great to meet everyone! 

And Garrett gave me a die with a picture of a bat as the number one, which made my day.  Thanks again!

:)  Welcome!  We also found one with a cat for Shecky, and a dinosaur for Sue!

Thank you!  It is much appreciated.  I collect bat things and that is one I did not have (or even knew existed).  :D

It was great meeting everyone, I hope to see you all again! (Jim especially)

I managed to snag a pic of the Za Lord and his guard:

Okay, I flipped the breaker, pulled the fuses, and blew up the transformer.

NASCAR Toot-toot! I just HAD to salute him every time I passed.

Yup.  Shannon's the only sparkly one allowed in the Butcher household!

I showed it to Jim:
JIM: Shannon looks at that and says "You look like you've had a stroke." :)
ME: "A stroke... of GENIUS!"

Heh. Wish I could remember the source, but there was a description somewhere by someone in F/SF that applies beautifully to describing Jim in many pictures this weekend (since morning pics were at his usual bedtime and evening pics were his wake-up time): "genially concussed". :D

How the hell does Shannon always look so together?  ???
