-People in Texas have no clue how to drive.
-Cross country roadtrips are a lot of fun.
-No matter where you go, there you are. And so is the local Walmart.
-There is no sleeping during a convention. Eating is optional, too.
-Baseball players can be tempermental. Just ask the pipes that run near the dugout in the Rangers' ballpark.
-Cowby Stadium is freaking huge.
-The best way to make a new friend is to crack a joke.
-The best way to greet an old friend is with a hug.
-Manischewitz tastes a lot better than I remember. Also...
-I can't hold my alcohol well. Total lightweight over here!
-The book depository still exists and it has a museum. I didn't go in, as the entire building had an aura of heartbreak around it. I'm not kidding. I simply walked near that building and could feel an awful wave of sadness washing over me.
-Action Figure Therapy is completely screwed up yet utterly hilarious. You are warned: it's also very NSFW!

-If you're not careful, sitting in on Mr. Cullen's panel can cause watering of the eyes. I teared up quite a few times; not a joke.

-I am a complete failure at building an action figure, but I love cleaning up the mess that's left behind. I am basically very odd.

-Bingo is a lot of fun. More so than gambling.
-The best conversations happen in the Dealer Room or the Autograph Line.

Glad you had an awesome time.... I've never been to a big one, large crowds of people make me twitch. ;)
Funny you mention hot wheels. There's an old man who comes in every morning, asking if we have any new ones. I don't mind him too much..... At least he's polite. ;)
Or maybe he reminds me too much of Charles, who used to be out driving at 3 am to catch the walmart trucks as they unloaded.... LOL
Of course Cullen wears his heart on his sleeve--they all do. They're a different breed of voice actor, you know.... ;) Not like some of the crappy ones they use today.
I think it hit Mr. Cullen just how much we adored him in 2004: he got a standing ovatioon. The look on his face? The man was close to tears. But he's a true sweetheart and I'm not saying that simply because he gave me a friendly arm squeeze in '09. :)
