Ahhh...probably wont make it...though i still do want my badge! (If I even got one...) Sorry I couldnt make it yesterday, the coast guard likes to kinda do things last minute, so I didnt get back to Seattle til around 10pm.

Glad I checked. When I left, it was photo at 9:30 am. :confused: i will try to be there, subject to commuter traffic again.

Flogging.Joey - I had only made badges for those who got donuts or said they wanted one in the badge thread? :confused: :confused: Sorry, dude. I dunno if I'll have time in the morning to try to make more since I have to get outta here at like 7.

Rob - Bring my shirt. :)

Some of us remember you pretty well from last year. In fact, there was a night you became pretty acquainted with our carpet.

Excellent photo, but the morning of the picture I was just a wee bit late. Someone said they'd photoshop me into the picture, and though I don't remember who it was, I would very much appreciate if I did end up in the picture.

Ha! I think that's actually Suave Peanut in the back there. But I guess it could be Whunpo, too!

I have no idea, was just making a joke. I would have expected Suave to show up with a top hat though.

I know a lot of people in the photo (from previous photos), but not everyone...so, someone want to do a rundown?

Oh, I figured you were making a joke... I just didn't want to sound like a know-it-all by only saying, "No, it was Suave." We actually ran into Whunpo on the way to the convention center after taking the picture. He changed into a CoG shirt while everyone was standing outside. Photos were taken and pedo jokes were made.

There are three or so people in the picture whose names I don't remember, so I'd feel bad naming everyone except them. Hopefully someone with a better memory than mine will be able to name everyone.

EDIT: Taking another look, there's really only one person whose name or handle I don't know. I'd really feel bad naming everyone except him!

Yeah, knew who you and Rini were...same with Sam and most of the rest of the gang (some I don't though). However, for people that didn't go to PAX and might like to equate people with faces, a rundown would be fantastic.

I thought the incentive to go to PAX was to learn faces? ;)

I was organizing my schedule for the day and didn't realize that we were actually taking the picture. So I'm looking down at my phone the whole time.

:p

There's one person who I'm pretty sure is a CoG and whose name and username I don't know, and there are two people who I only know as "so-and-so's friend." I've got everyone else though. At the risk of being a jerk for not knowing three names, should I just name the rest anyway? (Unless someone out there caught them all.)

wyeast

09-08-2009, 11:52 AM

I have a draft of the pic-with-names at home. Still have about 7-8 names left. (I think I have both of Jackel's friends, DangerChan, although one name I'm sorta guessing at because I couldn't hear that well) I might pop it over you when I get home and see if maybe I have the last missing name you don't have. :)

Yeah, I don't really look like my avatar, unfortunately. I blame hair growth.

There's a lot of space for photoshopping. I believe backseat killer and whumpo wanted a shop done. Any takers?

wyeast

09-08-2009, 08:39 PM

I don't have any decent photos of them standing up. I have like one pic of Backseat last year, but she was sitting down w/ Kielaran. Otherwise I'd go for it. :o

They originally said 930 but I guess they didn't realize us "non-media badge" people wouldn't be able to get into the queue line in time to get a concert wrist band...that's when the time was changed to 8ish.

Yeah, I was telling everyone 9:30 for a long time. Then, on Twitter, Jackel corrected me and told me it was 9:00. Then, later on, on Twitter, OrigamiPanther and SadiePepper told me it was actually 8:00.

Next year maybe we should determine the time and place of the picture before we go...might have a better chance of getting everyone in the pic.

Yes, 930 was the original time, but people were concerned about concerts (which turned out to not be a problem anyways) I told as many people as I could.

I'll take the blame on some of that, some of it was founded, some was not. Next year I'm going to be a lot more lax on how I handle the weekend.

Dude, I didn't even know you made it to PAX.

Yeah, it was tough for me to do CoG stuff because the whole trip was a birthday present from friends who don't read CoG. They planned the trip without thinking about CoG stuff, which made it really hard to make it to any of the meetups. :(
However, I'm hoping to go on my own next year (I'll be a legal adult!) and I will be hanging with CoG as much as I can.

I, too, accept blame. On Sunday I thought back and waiting in the queue room never gave me an advantage. Good lesson for next year.

Yeah, I suggest hanging out in the handheld lounge until they let everyone in. You won't be the first one in anyway (I got there at 7am and there was already a line on all 3 days) and it's not like you'll miss something by standing in line (although if they're doing Action Castle as a line game next year, that'll be worth lining up for).
