Just call me "TRONacious-D"

Opening night of TRON at the El Capitan theater was a blast -- multiplayer demos of TRON 2.0, lots of memoribilia, and a nice panel discussion. I have a few actual Kodaliths from the production of the film, and got them signed by Syd Mead, Director Steven Lisberger, and FX Supervisor Richard Taylor. Sweet! And Cindy Morgan ("Yori") even signed the TRON trading card I had with her 20-years-younger self on it.

Thanks to ahedonia, fidgetcub, zombietruckstop, simonbear, kenlin, cowboygreg, and Chuck O. for tagging along, and therefore enabling my fanatical fanboy behavior.

I thanked Steven Lisberger after the screening, telling him that the evening "made my inner twelve-year-old self very happy indeed." He replied with a smile, "and that's the most important self you have."

Hooray for the users! Down with the MCP!

Friends-less

Okay, did anyone TAPE friends last night? Cuz our TiVo got the "retrospective" special, but not the actual final episode. Grumble...
