Since we have some of our Fangirls infiltrating the Super-Con event in California at this very moment, I figure this would be a good place for them to report their findings when they get back!
Prepare for the awesomeness! ;D

Good Idea ! This, The Austin Meet-Up, and the October show are now stickied for easy adding and reference !
This is the kind of thing that makes me glad I got that iPhone. I can check in tonight as I'm driving my cab. I was able to hand the company over to my partner & put a decent guy behind the wheel 5 nights a week when my partner's not on . . . but tonight I'm getting dragged off the shelf to cover the night till about 3 am. Will I miss breaking news as it hits this thread ??
Nope !

Our own thread? Cool! Well...first I heard from Robyn that they had CHANGED the panel from 4:00 to 12:00 and there was no way I could make it now...I was so crushed. I thought it was too good to be true. ;o; But my friend and I decided to go the con anyway. We met up and later saw Frank and Joel come in through the front doors! Turned out that they were gonna come back to the autographs table at 4 to talk to people and sign stuff! And they're gonna do another panel tomorrow morning! So fate took a U-turn on us...<__< This was behind the table...sooo weird seeing the Bots IRL! Started sketching Crow in line and realized I've been doing it wrong the whole time. XD; Also... There's Joel and me...I'm all like "SCOOORE!!" XD I was so nervous when we got there I had my head down...Joel musta picked up on that because when I handed my friend the camera he was like "C'mon, it's okay..." and leaned over by me. (Kinda like he'd say to Gypsy...not a bad thing at all! <3) He was so sweet and comforting! ;o; So we gave them some stuff to autograph...When Trace finished signing my friend's shirt he folded it up really small origami style and handed it back to her, and Josh said "He used to work at The Gap..." XD! Trace was also handing out little promotional cards for the Tech Museum which is one of the most awesome places ever...I went there on a couple of school field trips. (...wow, I'm not even close to the character limit!) More to come...I'm gonna go back tomorrow and see the panel! ^o^

That's just fan tastic !.! Our first on-the-scene, as fresh as today report . . . with the top man him self !Does a "Fever Board Exclusive" like this give anyone else the feeling that we're on a bit more of a 'real' board now ? And is that a good thing ? I say yes . . . only if it grows from it's true roots and doesn't change so much as it ev olves.

One more-in-a-row from me ( I must is ex cited ! ) First, when gazing upon Anchan's "Joel & Me", I started thinking fanboy thoughts like -- "Hmm, first the Reunion on Rhino 10.2 . . now here's Joel in public with the bots ! Are they trying to plants seeds for us so we're ready for the MST Reformation that they've already brokered with Jim Mallon ? . . . . buzz / buuzz / drool" THEN , the sight I've detailed here hit me equally in my widdle fan-heart and my waking dreams. I have nothing to say, but to show it . . . . Oh ! , and I was certainly conflicted about cropping you away from your own special pic Anchan, but I think you see what "Fab Four" demanded focus ! ;D ;D

That smile...oh my God that smile... *squee*And he touched you! Granted, it looks like your book bag strap may have blocked the contact somewhat, but still! XD I am so jealous of you and Robyn. They better not cancel the Minneapolis show, because I am sooo there! I look forward to hearing more and living vicariously through you! ;D

Is it just me, or is something up with this Gypsy? I know she's got the black upper lip instead of the preferred white, but it also seems like she has a bit of an under bite! Her lower jaw really seems to be sticking out more than the top one... Yeah, I know I'm analyzing these pics waaay too much, but I can't help it! ;D

Panelpanelpanel today!! (Apparently Robyn's computer broke down so I'm filling you guys in. XD)
When we all sat down in the panel room, there weren't enough of us to fill the seats so Joel had us come up to the first two rows or so...that's the same thing my speech teacher used to do. XD;;; He said "Let's get all nice and cozy~!" and of course I was thinking "suuure. <3" Then they all got their chairs from behind the table and put them on the floor so they were sitting right in front of everyone! ^___^ This one guy's question somehow prompted Joel and Frank to launch into the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme song, which I only know from hearing it in riffs..."You're gonna make it after aaaaall!" XD Someone else in blue asked a question and before he answered, Joel asked him "Why are you wearing a jumpsuit? Are you waiting for society to crumble?" and then promptly forgot the guy's question. Crazy man...XD;;; Robyn asked Trace to do his Gregory Peck impression...he replied "NO" in his best Killer Peck. XD (Afterwards he actually came up to us and apologized for that...apparently he can't do his impressions as well anymore!)
(I got the whole thing on video so once we find the right cords I can upload it!)
I'm still reeling from the whole weekend...getting to meet them all and see the panel and taking my picture with Joel and looking him in the eyes and aaaaah! @_____@

That does it !, too many urgent MSTy-needs. Looks like I'm on a nationwide MSTy-mercy run !! Anyone else need anything while I'm out ?

What ?, you're not coming for the ride when I've got mocha-dipped Joel in the car ?? You realize you're on "waste-not / want-not / lick the spoon" duty, yes ?

While I'm grateful that you're so considerate of my need to not miss any of the chocolate Big, I do require a little privacy! Besides, what goes on might be a touch too much for your innocent mind!

Oh sure ! What " makes for an awkward ride back" is the fact that I'm takin' a sudden bus over here ! Ungrateful Fever-Girl !! ( can't say I blames ya' ) BTW ? Innocent mind . . . . excuse me, but spoon-licking ??I rest my face.

Hey guys! I'm finally home and on another computer, so now I can talk. I dunno what the heck happened to my computer, I think it caught a virus. Oh well. Happy thoughts! Super-Con was grrrreeeaat! The guys were so nice and cool and weird and funny. And I got to meet Anchan, who is awesome and adorable, and she gave me this kickass shirt! It's a red T-Shirt with a black and yellow checkered logo, just like on Joel's jumpsuit, but instead of GIZMONIC, it says FANGIRL. ;D Of course, I had to get Joel and everyone to sign it. I almost wish I didn't, though, because I seriously want to wear it to like every MST3K event now! When I get a chance, I'll post pictures of that. Anyway, what to tell? Anchan's covered most of the juicy stuff, and the video will reveal more. Which reminds me, apparently someone else was also video taping the Sunday panel, as you can see ( if you used that link before I had to remove it on 5/19 . . .see edit below ) and it covers the first seven minutes of the panel, which is actually GREAT because Anchan was having technical difficulties and missed some stuff at the beginning, so now you can watch that, and then Anchan's video will reveal the rest! ;D Like Anchan said, she wasn't able to go to the Saturday panel 'cause they freaking changed the time, but I did, so I can talk a little bit about that - the crowd was much bigger than the one on Sunday, so the number of stupid questions was exponentionally bigger, but I'll get to that in a minute. XD The moderator was a guy named C. Andrew Nelson, who worked at Industrial Lights and Magic and apparently played Darth Vader at various times. He explained that he would watch MST3K episodes with his co-workers during the long hours working on various special effects and was a big fan. He introduced the Titans to much fanfare, and noted that only 4/5 of the Cinematic Titanic gang had been able to make it today. "Oh, no, Mary Jo is down here," Joel said, gesturing down behind the table. XD The Q&A started up, and honestly there isn't a lot to tell - most of he questions were stuff y'all would already know about, so no real new information. Someone asked about the next CT release, and Joel said one of them would be The Wasp Woman. As Anchan said when I told her about it later, "Dammit Joel, we know THAT!" Here are some highlights, though: When asked what more recent movie they would riff on if they could, Joel said Van Helsing. Frank was like, "Oh, I'd like to riff on Life Is Beautiful." XD Someone asked if we'd ever see the robots again, and Joel said, "Well, actually, Jim Mallon's got these flash animations at MST3K.com, so you can, y'know, go check out um, Mallon's...flash..thing... vision..." and Josh just started cracking up. ;D When asked about the weirdest fanmail they ever got, Trace said, "The box of toenails, I think. It had "toenails" written on the box. And when you shook the box, it certainly sounded like what a box of toenails would sound like. And yet, despite all that, we opened it anyway. It was, indeed, a box of toenails." Some guy was like, "I'm a big fan of the show, and I've always wondered about the transition from Joel to Mike...is there an episode that deals with that transition?" How can you be a big fan of the show and not know about Mitchell!? There were some other things, but I'm tired and can't think straight right now, so hopefully that'll hold ya for now. Oh, also, I showed my Tom Servo plushie to the guys, and they were all amazed/confused/befuddled, so that was cool. ;D One for thing: amazingly, I handled myself quite well talking to Joel! I felt much more confident than last time, so I was able to actually complete sentences and look him in the eyes and stuff like that. And Frank DID recognize me after all, I barely had said two words to him and he was like, "Hey, I know you! Cartoon Dump, right?" So yay! Anyway, more later, when I can think better. XD -=video-link removed, as requested 5/19=-

Yay, you're back! I hope you can get your computer fixed... Did anyone by chance tape the Saturday panel? I know it's old questions but I wanna see it anyway. XD; Everybody go watch that video she just linked to right now...I'm not sure if I'll be able to upload mine! (wait, it's only like 8 minutes? laaame o__O) I'm wondering if I should make those Fangirl shirts for anyone who wants them...also in some sort of Mike and Trace variations. XD I'm still trying to sort myself out too...I don't wanna go back to school and take tests! T___T
