I have. After attending since 2004, then finally discovering Sideshow, then the board, I ended up meeting quite a few freaks there. Really enjoyed last year when I got to cross paths with you, my late night brother.
And especially dinner on Sunday night with Grue, Lonnie, Wetanut, LaMelnik, Jen, and many other fine folks. Really was an outstanding evening for me.
But still, there is a palpable fervor at a Celebration which simply cannot be matched at any other show, especially one covering so many disparate interests. Every freak you see in the photos in this thread are at the show with the same interest.
There's nothing like it!
