Best part of the whole night, though, was actually meeting Joss Whedon. He was just wandering around, doing his best to meet everyone. I got my chance, and asked if he had a public e-mail address that he checked. He said not yet, but he was talking to some people about setting one up. (Hell, I've got a gmail invite. Let's do this.) I say, well okay, all it really was is that I'm an online cartoonist, and today's (thursday's) comic had him in it, and I wanted to send it to him. And even before I finish my sentence, he says "Oh yeah... I saw that!" I about hit the floor. He thanked me for not making him look fat. (I guess people tend to make him seem fat or something - dude is in SHAPE, though. Maybe he's lost weight, but seriously. He's probably skinnier than me.) I told him no offense on the whole buffy/angel thing, and he waved his hand and said "Nah, please. Not everyone's thing." We congratulated him on the movie, and assured him it'd do great. (spoke with quite a few people who had never seen firely, and they all loved the movie.)

Here's the real kicker - while I was talking to Joss, the guy standing right next to us said "Wait, you're the guy who does Real Life?!" Right then and there, my life was given new meaning. :) Nothing beats talking to one of your heros, and have someone recognize you while doing so. Dude, if you're reading this, send me an e-mail. You made my night. :D

Please don't be overly aggressive, and please don't send e-mails that the Signal Corps haven't seen or anything. As 11thHour says on a regular basis, we don't want to come off as crazy and scare people away. That will only hurt our cause. Okay? So let the shininess begin!
