I liked the turnout. Unfortunately I missed the hug since I was with Arefin getting more people to try and come. Overall I guess it went pretty well. We had about 15-20 people! This was just the beginning of something great!

What, Baker was there? But when I found out I missed it, I thought that he was with me.

Didn't you know, I can be in two places at once? heh

Eric, when we left backstage after practicing (and both realizing that we missed the webhug), I went to the gym to see if we were done running matches. We were. Then, I had to meet my wife and kids in line for dinner. On the way to the cafeteria, Mike Martus was just just calling the hug together for this shot, and told me to join them as I was walking past. So, um... yeah... I made it just in time.

Man, you guys - Pavan and Eric -
you said be there at a certain time so we were there.
We gotta work on you guys...

I'm sorry you both missed it.
Dang.

Edit:
Eric, I love my sticker and did not wear it. But I had it on me.
It is a souvenir. Thank you!

No, it is more like Eric - 1, Pavan - 0, Andy - 1 because one of the conditions for the web hug sticker was that you had to use it at the web hug.

And somehow made it into the cafeteria at about the same time I did, even though I passed up the web hug to wait in line for food ... hmm ...

It's the amazing Baker power that did that for you!

oh oh! I see me! Well the back of my head and one arm anyway! The funny thing is that I am next to Andy (Baker) and even I don't remember seeing him there! Maybe he really can be in two places at once and invisible except through a camera lens! I didn't officially meet him until Sat. after the shrink wrapping incident! Andy, it was great to meet you!

The back of my head is in there - sunglasses on top of my head, really dark brown hair. Exciting - I'm short. Great tradition - though I'd already met a lot of the people there by the time the hug rolled around.
