The panel was really fun. Hearing the comments adds a lot to the
enjoyment of the DVD. There were a couple of sections where they filmed
GDT standing in front of a bookcase, talking about what was about to be
shown. He looks almost stuffed. His comment was "There are other
sections just like this ... where I appear equally stiff!" Then they
showed his cameo in a Godzilla type suit- Hilarious!

 

 

It was good to hear what Mike had to say about the next film, and that
they have already gotten together to discuss what they will and won't
include. It sounds like more HB out in public, and more folklore type
stories, like in the books.

 

Ron seemed, frankly, worn out and didn't say much, although he ate a
lot of snacks, and watched the presentation on screen. He had already
been through a probably grueling appearance on the floor at Darkhorse,
and a panel that ended just before the DVD panel.

 

 

 

I fortunately saw GDT later, entering the
showroom floor, and gave him a couple of items from our booth. It was
total coincidence, but luckily there was no swarm to contend with.

 

Oddly enough, I just had put my camera down at our booth, and was
standing, talking to a friend, when Ron brushed right past me on his
way to the panels. What a time to put my camera away! Oh well.
