Sigh. I wish I didn't have to authorize twitter and typepad every single time. Anyways, as of the moment I'm not going to the event proper but I think these two are prime for reading: http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2012/03/if-robocop-was-a-bad-80s-sit-com.html http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2012/03/i-spent-way-too-much-time-on-this.html

Just caught this. Wil captures it perfectly. The sun was out, the breeze just right, and the buckets of beer were ice cold. And I? I had a hex of wheat so glorious people drove around it in circles all day long just to admire it. S.

It sounds to me like my friend the Secretary of Geek Affairs needs a Sgt. at Arms. I'm just saying, qualified candidates are standing by. S.

You know whose fault it was right? Bob, from the office down the hall. I swear to god one day that careless bastard is going to let a zombie in or something. S.

Despite her violating the secret Mustache formal agreement that we would secretly place all our mustaches in various hard to find places about the ship, I can say she violated it with the best of intentions. I like to think that mine is still perched looking lovingly over the port side buffet bar. S.

I have a million rules lawyer stories. Instead I express myself in Haiku, not for the prize itself, but for the adventure In spring, rules lawyers are not unlike Denny Crane only with more shat* *not the good kind of shat S.

I feel like a complete moron for not thinking about that. I will palaver with the cabal and see what I can make happen for the future. S.

I too spent many hundreds of hours with Night Court. I had, and actually still have, a massive huge crush on Markie Post. As a side note Wil Richard Moll lives in your neck of the woods and is on Twitter. http://twitter.com/richardmoll S.

Holy christables I actually have something to contribute here knowing your food preferences. Being a meatasaurus the last time I was in Vancouver a friend of mine who didnt know that took me to this vegetarian place called The Naam. http://www.thenaam.com/naam/ I had the cashew and avacado enchiladas and A+++ would eat there without hesitation again. Great atmosphere and great food. We were there a bit early for beer since we planned to hit the bars later but I tried a tea called Mama and it was outstanding. If you can get out to Victoria for a day trip, do it. doooooooo eeeeeeeeet. S.

This is exactly the kind of thing I was asking parents to do in my PAX East speech. http://www.stepto.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=610 Thanks Mr. Burke. That makes me feel great. S.

You gakwed at it? Fucos! S.

buddy c'mon. You know what shirt you gotta wear: Dragonshirt! S.

I'm extremely excited because this means I'm not scheduled opposite you, which of course means I can both see the keynote *and* people will actually be in the audience for mine. :D S.

I would add one small thing to this post: @Biz and @Ev, Please please please find a way to let us give you money so that this wonderful thing never goes away. I live in a sort of perpetual fear that like a number of banks or other online properties tomorrow they will announce "sorry folks, out of money" I'm so glad its here for free. But for all the reasons you mentioned I feel the trial has sold me and I'm ready to pay if it means it sticks around. :> S.

I named mine "Dug" of course. Sometimes he hides under the porch because he looooooooooooooooves me. S.

I was trying with no success while scratching my head in puzzlement to figure out all day why there was such a shortage of commas from the punctuation store which I access online. I now see with no small measure of amusement as I chuckle to myself that you used them all in your short story blog entry. S. PS. I totally have a stockpile of italics if you want to trade.

Christables. That farmhouse shot is my idea of what a nice corner of an afterlife would be. What an amazing shot. S.

Congrats to you both. Rochto and I are set to celebrate our lucky 13th in March. S.

It's not on Amazon, but I notice if you check out your Amazon page ( http://www.amazon.com/Wil-Wheaton/e/B001H6MU9U/ref=sr_tc_2_0 ) under "Customers also bought items by", you're in really good company. S.

Reminds of the old "Campus Crusade for Cthulhu" posters. "*it* found *me*" http://www.geocities.com/metropolexx/ S.

I fondly remember a set of 1970's paperback presses of CS Lewis' Space Trilogy that my dad had. Not sure he ever read them but as a kid I cherished them because they had just outstanding hypercolored/stylized illustrations for the covers. I think back to 1960's/1970's sci fi covers as a golden age of abstraction and care put into representing the text. An ode almost, an art unto itself. Ringworld, Alas Babylon, A Canticle for Liebowitz, Under Pressure, the original cover to Rendevous with Rama. If I admired the nod-to-geeks of the binary bubble trickle on sucken treasure, I worship this. S.
