Also, I have to tell you something, because you will get it. It's probably a 'you had to be there moment', so I apologise in advance, but you'll get why I squeed so much over it. Running con joke this year was care of Mark Ferguson (well, one of the running con jokes, the other two were care of Adam and Dean, about testicles and giraffes, respectively - Don't Ask).
Anyways, Mark introduced himself at opening ceremonies with the 'you may be wondering why I'm at Hobbitcon, seeing as I'm not in the movies, but they asked me to MC' and then 'and some of you may be wondering who I am. I you watch the first Rings movie, I'm in that. It's a really important role.' And then someone in the audience said 'he's the one with the spear!' And Mark went 'shush! Don't spoil it for them! Watching the first movie. It's important.'
[Obviously all paraphrased.]
Ke kept bringing it up over the three days. It's funny because NO ONE in the audience didn't know who he was, because honestly.
My only regret is that he was so busy MCing and sleeping that he didn't have time for photo sessions or autographs. :( Good thing I already have both!

I'm a little happy, can you tell?
