Way to go KMehthas & Smarx! I’d have squeed…quietly. 
My parcel to you guys will be in the mail tomorrow…with a disc added with the few pictures I took. I stopped when there were too many cameras and decided to hark everyone else’s off the Flickr pool.
wished I was smarx…lucky bastard, nicely done
Nice write up. And pretty cool on meeting Aaron. he is a great guy. Sounds like you had a pretty cool ending to an awesome meet-up.
If you wanted to send him a Thank You I can get it to him.
Once I get mine downloaded I will send them along.
Thought for next time - have everyone download to one computer while we are there - then we can make copies from there. I have a card reader (plus a SD card reader built into the lappy) that I could bring. We did this when we went to London and it worked out very well.
That’s a great idea. My netbook has a card reader too, but I don’t have a CD/DVD drive…yet. I downloaded as I took them to resize to load on the flickr pool.
Oh, pretty smart!
That’s why you’re the event coordinator! 
Oh my gods, I love that picture! Can someone put names on faces pretty please?
There was never a moment bkitty or Topgun did not have a camera in their hands. And from what I can tell, Badger kept the tweets happy.
Wow, I am so jealous! If he comes to Dallas, maybe he’d want to come to next year’s meetup?
That was a wonderful summation, smarx.
Aaron’s reputation is confirmed. What an OSSIM dude!
wow that is beyond cool that at the GWC meetup you just happened to take the same flight as aaron douglas. there is some higher power orchestrating all of this, we’ve all experienced it…
OMG! i’m so impressed that you were able to talk to him - I have a hard enough time talking to people like that when they are signing autographs at a con…
I’m so jealous!!!
I know. There I was thinking the weekend was over, I needed to get back to the “real world”, and there he was, getting ready to get on the same plane. It was the perfect ending to the best weekend ever.
Hi Raemani – I might take you up on it. but it will have to wait for Emerald Con. Furpey had mentioned maybe going and I looked at the guest list. Aaron, Michael Hogan and Tahmoh Penikett. I think it is going to be more than I resist. If that doesn’t work out, I will get let you know. I really want to say thanks. As I mentioned, he was on the phone, and I didn’t want to be all stalker like, so I didn’t get to say thanks for taking the time for someone he met for 3 minutes.
I think I need a do-over of last weekend…
I want to go back to Friday…before having to return to work, before the almost 2" of rain we got yesterday, before the rain soaked through and ended up on my basement floor overnight…before the dark times. Waaaaa!
Love all the photos in the Flickr pool…miss everyone!
OK, just let me know if the Emerald City Con thing doesn’t work out. I can’t resist a con that would be with in driving distance, so I understand. Heck I may end up in London at the end of the year because I can’t resist the pull of a convention.
As for Aaron he is on the phone, a lot, either talking to texting, but I can understand not wanting to interrupt him.
By next year, I’m sure they’ll have an app for that.
Thanks for the ride to the airport, Smarx! Sounds like karma repaid you for me big time with that Aaron Douglas meeting. How awesome! That’s such a perfect ending to the story. I’m glad you represented for the GWC crew.
Happy to help. And getting back to the hotel was a breeze. Karma was indeed kind to me. Or as Earl says, “Do good things, good things happen to you.” Well, this weekend is the theory in practice. I will post a shot of my signed picture. It was really cool.
