Well it was quite exciting, I know most of you missed it, but I will post some pics soon. the Artwork Presentation for Album 44 was neat, showing how they went from concept scetches to the final product, and the way the changed the layout for the A&B albums (+ the Tape/CD Package) very cool.

The Scavenger Hunt Prizes were neat as well, CDs of "Poor Loser" and "The Last in a Long Line" as well as a new AIO Novelty Pen. there was free cupcakes with a "Eugene Head" on each, and of course the writers were there, as well as a BUNCH of people from marketing

I think the funniest part was during the artwork presentation, someone asked an AIO-Related Question of "if Eugene is returning - Where is he returning from? where has he been?" and the Guy presenting says "Uh, I dunno" and the points to me and says "He knows! - Ask him"

I don't even know this guy, but I of course knew the answer.

Can't wait for the Live Show with Will Ryan!

Events like this are things that cause me to briefly reconsider moving back to Colorado............but for now I'm happy some 1700 miles away.....even if I do miss events. And where I will be moving (somewhere between two months and two years) from now I can leave early one morning and be at FOTF the next afternoon (at latest), so it wouldn't be too bad of a drive.....still nowhere close to the 45 mins I use to live (or the 20 mins back in '97 / '98) but still, not too bad of a drive......from where I am now, it'd be more like 2.5 days to get there.......

Peace Out

Or if you were really desperate and had the money, a few hours.

Well, actually once you think about food/gas/lodging for the entire trip (including while in CO) I could probably fly there cheaper (and way faster) than driving.......Just so long as I'm not on a Greyhound bus

Peace Out

wow. Thanks for putting up the pics. Wish I could have been there.

I want a Eugene cupcake! My life will not be complete until I have eaten a Eugene cupcake! If only I was artistic enough to make something like that at home. Maybe I could just eat a cupcake while looking at the pictures, and pretend that it was really a Eugene cupcake. Sometimes I think that I'm delusional enough that it might work.

Thanks for sharing the pics, OdysseyFan!
