I think I just hit a new level of "famous"

Please notice I used "quotes" around "famous". Anyway, I got an email from a con I've been asked/offered to attend as a panelist and judge. I'm sure the email was fairly standard and I'm reading waaaaay too much into it. The Sender was asking about my travel plans, need for a hotel room, and my green room requests.

I've never been asked this before. I've never thought of myself as anything more than a Special Con Attendee. The thought of being an actual Guest doesn't occur to me until something amazing happens. Example, I was in between panels as Nashi last year when Lauren gave me a fantastic gift basket. I had warm fuzzies all freaking day! :D

So this email really got my ego inflated. No I didn't ask for a bowl full of green M&M's or anything else equally interesting (just some fresh fruit). Honestly just the fact that someone cared enough to ask if I needed anything is enough for me. What can I say? I'm a cheap date. ^_^

That e-mail would have TERRIFIED me, lol! (I could NEVER speak in front of convention guests!)

But still, congratulations, of course!

I love talking in front of crowds. I guess that's why I do so well. :)

Aw.. you mean my invite doesn't count?

[identity profile] morganskye.livejournal.com 2012-01-19 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehe, actually I'm talking about your invite. I just didn't want to be too out about it since I don't know if I'm breaking secret con guest protocol or something. lol!

In that case,

WOOHOO!!!

And congrats! it also means they accepted you as one of my choices.

Then I guess I lied pretty well on my convention resume. XD

Yeah I'm completely flattered by the email. I still think I'm putting too much into it since all she's asking is about munchies and travel plans. I'm no Yaya Han. Still, it is a little thrilling to know I'm getting a little special treatment. I have no idea what to expect though. Do you know who else was picked?

OH! The guest page for Nashicon (http://nashicon.com/?page_id=137) was updated and I'm the first entry! I swear I blushed for HOURS when I saw it!

Yes, The Chainmail Chick and Angela, but Angela is still working on her travel plans. I'm trying to get Volpin/Harrison Krix as a prop judge/panelist, and I have one other person I keep forgeting to contact, or whom I did contact but they didn't get me back

Btw, I got them to agree that a contest prize can be a cameo in the con comic strip. I need more prizes though!

[identity profile] morganskye.livejournal.com 2012-01-19 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Excellent. :)

That's a great prize! Hmm, well free reg for next year is always a good one. How many awards are there?

Congrats! Brohoof!...I mean...way to go! ;-)

The truth is out there...but it won't show up here. ;-)

Hehe, thanks hon. Although I doubt asking for bananas counts. :D
