ConDFW in Richardson, TX: Feb 20-22, 2009
Spectacular Sameth:
Priscillie (sorry, can't spell your screen name) and Mickey...I plan on meeting you two on Saturday. I feel I have extra privileges over your fans because I post here.
Shecky:
Even if you just hear Jim talk on a panel, it'll be worth the price of admission. Dude's fun.
Don't count on being able to meet Priscellie and Mickey - busy panelists (especially ones who are involved not just in their own panels) are often busier than the GoHs.
Spectacular Sameth:
Oh well. I'm sure there are other boardies I can meet.
Sometimes at A-kon, you can go up to the panelists when they're done and chat for a bit if they're not busy. I may try and do that with Jim.
Shecky:
And if Jim's not exhausted and/or being hurried off to another event, he's the sort of guy who WOULD talk with you. Nice guy. But don't be surprised if he's not able to do it, as he's likely to be tired from the traveling and the constant busy-ness of being a guest at a big con.
Priscellie:

*blinks* You insult us (and Jim, for that matter) by reiterating over and over that our panels don't sound interesting, then you claim some kind of entitlement over our time and attention because you post here? You're not winning points, Sameth.
Mickey and I have worked our way to a certain level of prominence and access in the fandom, but ultimately, we're still just fans. And like any other fans, we're going to want to spend our free time with our friends and try to make new ones, and if possible, do a bit of elbow-rubbing with The Greats. Our time is not for sale to the highest bidder. We have no obligation to anyone at the con, save those we've taken on ourselves by volunteering to be panelists. I want to meet more of Jim's fans, because Jim's fans tend to be a freaking awesome bunch of people, but no one has the right to put him or herself on my priority list.
