Did anyone else stop by the booth in the WILK?
Did anyone else stop by the booth in the WILK?
I stopped by 3 times, actually. The first was for about 2 minutes before set-up, the second for 5-10 minutes (just after eating at the Cougareat), and the third from a little after 1 until take-down around 2:30-ish. If you were there, you might have seen and/or met me. I was the one with questionable sanity and likely scared many people away. But getting to know so many writers and being dubbed a "superfan" was totally worth it (Freshmen+2.5 years of reading the Board+natural insanity=delusional fan). If you want to attack me, please let me know ahead of time so I may make adaquate preparations.

I am now grumpy due to missing out. I hope you have another booth after I come back. I can get Bookstore fudge and candy for 30% off, and I would be glad to give presents!

The Epistler was quite honestly knocked on her ethereal behind by the sheer logic of this.

Also you, and Dr. Smeed, turned me a lovely shade of purple.Cognoscente wrote:It was awesome! I pelted random strangers with Smarties, and was only greeted in return with dirty looks. Lighten up, squares!
Well, at least Commander Keen had the decency to simply return fire.

Anyway...*sigh* ... I don't think I'll ever make it to a Board Booth. It'd be fun. But I can just see my parents after I ask them for permission to take the car down to Provo to meet people I know from online. That I've never talked to, really. That wear bags over their heads.
Yeah, that'd go down real well.
(If my mom weren't so busy, and if we weren't sick of driving all the time, she may have even come with me...)

I got to stop in towards the end and talked to The Black Sheep, Whistler and Waldorf for a fair while. It was fun to see board personalities applied in real-life situations! I was honestly a bit surprised that more people weren't stopping...is a solicitation to go to a website really that threatening? Whatever. I also liked a lot of the question choices that they had plastered everywhere. A nice touch.
Maybe we should get a bunch of chocolate covered cinnabears or something next time to draw more people in. Catchy music. Or conversely, maybe we could play irritating music all over the rest of the Wilk, so that people congregate at the booth to avoid it. I guess we have a lot of time to lay out plans before next time.

Oh, was the board booth designated as our secret meeting spot? I should have known. I dropped by for about 5 minutes and saw the faces of Cogs and Sauron, baby Claudia and Dragon baby and a few others I did not identify.
I was a little surprised at how few people were stopping at the booth, but then again, most booths don't get that much attention and --with fezzes and a doctor mask-- there is sort of an intimidation factor to the board's

I AM Dr. Smeed, after all. Why wouldn't I be wearing a fez and a doctor mask?Proteus wrote:

Then who was dashing chap next to you, who had the name tag of Dr. Smeed on, that was obviously an imposter? You? I don't think so.Dr. Smeed wrote:I AM Dr. Smeed, after all. Why wouldn't I be wearing a fez and a doctor mask?Proteus wrote:

Sauron? You sure? He was only there for a total of about five minutes in passing as he picked up and dropped off our baby. And he wasn't there when I wasn't.Proteus wrote:Oh, was the board booth designated as our secret meeting spot? I should have known.

Is anyone planning to stop by the booth tomorrow? I am! Even though in this very thread I said I would never make it. Ha-ha me.
Re: Did anyone else stop by the booth in the WILK?
Awwww, look! I posted months before I became a writer? D'AWWWWWW.
I will be there from 10-12 tomorrow! So don't come from 10-12 if you don't want to see me!

Re: Did anyone else stop by the booth in the WILK?
Whoa. I don't even remember starting this thread--okay, I do a little, but not as much as I should have. I will be there from 10 to whatever--I'm still vacillating on which classes I can afford to miss.

I'm with you, C. I mean, not that I have to ask my parents' permission for much these days, but, well, it would be kind of a long trip...C is for wrote:

I love just sitting at the booth and pretending I remotely belong. Read the 100 Hour Board, Yay!

I was there until 1, then I decided to be responsible and go to class.
