I'm at a movie theatre to see a movie, and whom am I told is in this theatre? SEAN ****NG ASTIN! But when I get out to ask him for an autograph, he's gone. So the next day I go back to the theatre to see another movie. When I get out into the hallway, who's standing right there but PETER ****ING JACKSON! I just happen to have with my a giant ceramic Lord of the Rings plate, so he autographs it. w00t! The plate has a big piece chipped off, but I have the chip with me in my backpack, so I can glue it back on later.

Anyway, turns out there's a big presentation in the convention room (there's a convention room in a movie theatre, apparently). So I go there and get a great seat: second row center. PJ comes out and gives a presentation. I don't remember anything he said. Then he leaves and Sean Astin comes out to talk. I think "Cool! Now I can get his autograph at the autograph session." When he leaves, the host announces the next guest (and does it in a big, long, WWF voice) is Greg Tozer from WETA. I cheer loudly because he was cool when he came to TolCon. He comes out full of evergy doing fun stuff, like touching a magic wand to all the pictures on the walls making neon-light frames appear around all of them. I plan to ask him about the progress on the Sideshow WETA Sauron statue he's working on. Last thing that happened was him making a ton of dry brown leaves falling from the ceiling onto the audience, and some of them got in my shirt, tickling me. That Greg Tozer, what a prankster. Ha ha.
