Awesome pictures, Middleman! It was really nice meeting you as well!

The best part of the one with Connor? The three of you actually were color coordinated, too, as if it was planned.

Awesome pics! I'm glad one of us had a decent camera. I wish Connor would drop that microphone away from his face more often. Look sy those versatile facial expressions. *Sigh* I want to seem him playing a part where he can use them all again!

Maybe on Monday, I'll post a picture of my ship (The NX-01 I bought for my desk. It's making me VERY happy shining at me while I work.)

Those pictures are amazing. :) Personally, I seem to have some kind of malady when it comes to taking pictures of Connor. Every single photo is blurry. I just plain choke in his presence. :lol: I'm glad there are folks out there with more stable hands. Thanks! :D Connor looks great.

Please do. I have an NX-01 at my office as well.

It's nice to see how they both looked, Middleman! We were so far back, we couldn't really tell. CT really is very expressive.

There are more cons in Parsippany April 13-15 and August 13-15. One of my XFiles friends from Philly is already saying she wants to come up with her son and meet us there. So maybe we'll do it again, who knows. I wouldn't have thought I'd agree to that any time soon, but it's a great chance to actually hang out with otherwise online friends.

All these pics are very nice. I enjoyed them a lot.
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four


And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

It is so great to learn more about you Middleman. I once lived in NYC, long ago, for just 8 months. Very impressive job you have there!

As promised my ship. My camera doesn't do it justice, but here it is:

Hmm . . . I'm looking at the pic and the real thing side by side. The real ship is much more golden and high defintiion, lol . . . Whoops, I just called it the "real ship," lol . . .

:) You are REALLY into it, JT. If you have a digital camera and not just your phone, adjust it for indoor flourescent or incandescent lighting (whichever is dominant in your office) and you might get a truer color. Or take the ship outside. Bright shade or hazy sunlight (like when there's a cloud overhead) should give you true color. Bright sunlight might wash it out.

Damn. I'm jealous. All I've got on my station at work is a Han Solo bobble-head from a McDonald's happy meal. :lol:
