Marilyn, you need to get around and see people's personal Cleveland Con pics.... most folks really aren't that young, I can assure you! Slayerchick is a lurker by her own admission! Lol! She spends most time at Marsters Mobsters, so maybe you should pop over there and see what is happening. they have a Chicago thread. It is Moma Spicy's domain, oh, and she is going too !

Thanks PK, I might do that later.....you know I don't see Spicy or Raindog, or Sami posting at GotR any more....is there a reason that you know of? Just curious, they were always around before and now....poof!

Post by PokerKitten on May 1, 2003 23:58:54 GMT
I'm sure I saw a post from Sami not so long ago, but funnily enough I was wondering what had happened to Raindog......... But I don't go there often myself and tend to just pop in to see if there's any news. Don't like the new board layout Let me know if you need the MM url.

Okay, tiny snippet from slayerchick in the Windy City... posted at Marsters Mobsters, bet hey, she's one of us too! Jas and I are at Kinkos. We just got done with the cocktail party. All the boys in the band are so cute. I love the way they all interact so well together. Charlie is just adorable! James just looks soooooooooooo good. Spicy almost picked up Danny Strong, literally, and gave him a big hug. He is so small but too cute. He has beautiful eyes too. Noithing that compares to our James though. I will go into more detail when I have more time...And from PSUBrat: When GotR finally arrived, they were greeted with tremendous cheers. They took questions from the audience for about an hour and a half...first off...there weren't enough seats to go around. So that was bad thing number one. Bad thing number two was that the band did NOT mingle with the crowd. They were ushered out immediately following their Q&A. Basically, we paid a hell of a lot more money than Cleveland just to listen to these guys talk and then leave. I'm NOT a happy camper. Oh yeah, we did get an autograph picture of the band and the Mad Brilliant CD in our packet. Yippie. Anyway...it was interesting. Oh yeah...James did admit to the crowd that he was 40! Finally the man tells the truth! That was really neat and everyone cheered and clapped. The rest of the band members are pretty cool too and funny.

Now a video of James admitting his age last night would be one sweet find indeed!! Let us hope one is out there.

This is from Vampak at the Int GOTR board:
Went to the reception/cocktail party last night, it was great, first Danny Strong, Tom Lenk and the guy who played Adam came out and entertained us for about 15 min, they were very funny. Then they brought out GOTR and we had a Q & A. And this was just GOTR questions, one girl tried to ask JM a Buffy question and he politly told her to save it for Sunday, this is just GOTR questions. And heres the biggie question of all that was asked: How old is everyone in the group and guys JM has come clean he said it He is 40. so there you have it its offical.

Sorry about the edit, PK. Silly me! That is what a mod is for.... James looks great with his band....TWO poodle heads... ;D Seems like there will be a lot of bitching about not being able to mingle with the guys. Maybe you shouldn't feel so bad about not going, PK. At least you can think of it that way....

I don't know what the hell is going on in Chicago but we are getting very meagre crumbs so far This teeny snippet from Rbabe at Forums4Fans: GoTR was good, James is really enthusiastic and adorably dorky. I have videos and tons of photos to post from the Q&A and the concert.
But what's that?! Videos?! Woohoo!! Weren't supposed to be allowing videos so this is an unexpected bonus! So we'll get some decent info eventually...
