I wanted to say thanks for organizing the convention; it was awesome fun. I would like to echo an above post by noting the inspiring Nick Punto fan section among us (who found other Punto fans to be "posers" and promptly showed them how to properly cheer for Nicky). Also, thanks to Banjo because I won a watch that he donated to the convention. I hope that there's another convention next year-- I'm definitely in if I'm able to be there. Hey-- This is Q.

I don't wear a ducktail like the Wolfman, but I usually can pull off a far better resemblance. My hair was in poor form that day, for which I blame Punto.

Like Snake said, it was good to meet a lot of household names within the Twins blogging/writing community. It was a good mix of people and personalities which is always makes for an interesting and fun experience. Thanks to SBG for setting this up and I definitely intend on attending the next one. Oh, and Snake...that three bucks you spent on that face painting is probably the greatest investment you'll ever make. I enjoyed myself at the SBG Convention.
