You know, ita, it's times like this I'm just really grateful to my head for sending that random e when you were on your way out of Michigan. It's like, fate, or something.

ETA: Which isn;t to say you ever owe me. Gah. It's not about that. It's just, hey, that was a random crossroad, and now, you're in charge of the World's Hottest Security Team and I get to bask in that glow.

Make me rich, Allyson. Make me rich.

For the record, there were four of us -- Polgara has group shots, right, and so does the photographer guy, right?

I'm always grateful, but at times like this it's a sweet and hilarious feeling.

Yes. I saw the group pics. They're amazing, actually. I like the one with my tiny fists of rage, but then, I would.

I do owe you, Allyson, in currency that can't be counted.

Also, I look sadly like Roseanne Barr, pre-surgery, in every pic.

Just so long as you don't do it for the the sense of owing. Do it for the headsets!

Headsets are cool.

I was worried that you all were bored because everyone was so gracious and chill.

I think they were worried about me for a bit, since I kept talking to ita.

I couldn't help myself though. It's the headset's fault.

Allyson and Kristen, the party really was fantastic. i went in with low expectations because i knew the main cast wouldn't be there because unlike previous years this year was more about seeing the VIPs than it was spending time with friends. just because it's such a new fandom and i haven't really made any lasting friendships with the 'lagers.

Harold coming in the room, pointing at those of us on the dance floor and then joining us was a total highlight for me. then Andrea joined us for a little Love Shack boogeying.

this party was so different from previous PBPs and even the W&HAR. i can't articulate how, but one reason is that i was able to take multiple pics of myself with Harold and DDK. mostly because i looked like a goober in the first ones i took. i would have never been able to do that in previous years.

oh and William Mapother? probably my favorite VIP of the evening. so sweet and funny and very un-Ethan-like. i think Greg Grunberg became every girls new boyfriend. and the hottie security team? guh. jared makes me warm and fuzzy. he was all long haired and scruffy this year. yum.
