Okay. Dextra did a pretty good rundown of the flow of the show.
The PDF thing: Erik Mona, while accepting an award, said something to the tune of "Thanks to our subscribers, without whom we'd be broke and trying to sell .pdfs." The PDF sellers/fans in the audience start good humored booing and hissing, and as Erik leaves the stage, Hellhound blurts out: "You're dead at recess, Mona!" It was hilarious. There were references to it for the rest of the night, including a statement later by Erik to the effect of "Really, PDFs are great, and I am not just saying that because I am backpedalling."
The "take that Ryan Dancey" thing (I could not help but think of Queen D and how Nicole's name should be Queen Ryanpopolis... BID and apologies to Queen D), I forget if it was after the award was announced or was being accepted, but a female sounding voice rings out from the Green Ronin table "take that Ryan Dancey!."
The day after I posted my prior post, I passed by the Green Ronin booth and Nicole saw me and yells "Rabble rouser!??". And I'm like "hey, you aren't supposed to check the boards until after the con!"
Truth Seeker and Xath were shutterbugs durring the event and I can't wait for them to post the pics.
On a slightly more serious note, I was really pleased that both Blue Rose (Stephanie Pui-Mun Law) and Beyond Countless Doorways (rk post) were recognized, as they are two of my favorite artists.
I got a chance to speak with Ms. Law in the exhibition hall where I congratulated her there, as I purchased a little Faeries d20 book which she sketched a little Faerie in the front of on the spot (which was a total fanboy moment for me).
