How's Carrie looking now? I hear she's been following the PT thread here and lost a load of weight.

Can't wait to see the pictures. I've sent you a friend's request on Facebook.

Thanks!

I have yet to attend but look forward to the photos. I'm sure everyone had a blast. Good turnout for parade. Hope everyone has a safe trip home.

I suddenly slipped into something more comfortable on Sunday night, so I apologize for not wishing the majority of you goodbye... for this I apologize.  Here are some final words:

Rex- If you don't come to the USCM dinner next year, I will personally kick you in the balls.
Dru- Great to meet you pal, you're a real Colonial Marine.
Derek- Always great to see you, brother.  It doesn't feel like home until I've walked my mile with you.
Bruce- Once again, welcome to the club.  I'm seriously contemplating Leicester, so get me that net.
Callum- You're a good kid, never change.
Steve- Don't dress so conservatively next year!
Sandy- So sorry we couldn't spend more time together, good sir.  There's always next time.
Aaron- You're not as weird as I thought... MUCH weirder.  I'll do any combat drop with you ATAW.
Tony-  First recipient of the MVM and justly so.  I can barely hold a candle to you.  Always great to be in your presence.
Gareth- You sir, are mad... but my kind of mad.  A great pleasure to assist you with your wiener.
Paul- Don't stop eating that latex... it's an excellent source of protein.
Clangers- The both of you are class acts... look forward to seeing you both again.
Tony Bassi- Lovely contourage.  YOU are the man.
Spat- Where the hell were you for the SST photoshoot?
Angie, Chris & Dan- My fellow Spartans!  Thanks for all the encouragement these past few months!  It was great to see you!
Assorted scum and villainy- You made it all worth it to be dog-tired the whole weekend, so thanks for being there.
Gemma- Thanks again for the Diet Coke it was delicious and refreshing.  BTW, I'm still convinced it's an innie... it may require further inspection.

Go on....

Minor repost of what I said over in the other thread, thought it would be more appropriate here.

It was fantastic seeing you all again, as always, and great to meet those of you who had not been there before. This year was quite possibly the best D*Con for me yet, and you all are the biggest part of that. Glad we could bring in the 25th right.

Special thanks to Bruce and Tony B. for making the year extra memorable, and to Mike and Lottie for assisting me with staying alive after the parade. (I promise never to drink with the UKCM until 3am on Friday night again)

Dom, it would be great if you made it over to Leicester bud. You won't regret it if you do.

Cheers

Darren

Looking forward to more photos and seen a load on FB and looks like a BLAST was had all round

Dom Please do and You can personally pick up "little DI Dom" That in itself must make the trip more worthwhile :p

Normal is boring.

I hope you mean weird as on an everyday scale. A Normal person with $20,000 might remodel thier kitchen, or buy a new car. Guys like me with $20,000 to blow would buy an old used military truck. again. Or a bunch of military firearm parts kits to build up into semi-autos. I embrace that weird.

Then again, it's all relative. There was a F#$%-ton of weird at DragonCon.

As usual, it was a fantastic, fantastic time! Incredibly wonderful to see old friends and make some new ones. And, my apologies for not making the USCM Dinner, I had a committment as Captain America that took me away. Perhaps next year we can have it earlier?

Fun times my brothers and sisters, fun times!

Loving the 'Fish's marching technique! Nice one

Oh dude, that was soooo embarrassing. I don't know WTF was going on with my phone- I would type in a reply to my sweetheart and bam! It would show that I sent it to you!

I'd be looking at who I'm sending it to, and then it inexplicably changed!!!! aaaaugh!
