We're going. Unfortunatley, Brendan won't be with us. As for fanfest, I hope we have one this year. I've been looking forward to taking Brendan since we found out Chandra was pregnant.

Thanks for asking, Crista! I hope they do...something... :) I forgot to ask until we were on the way back to the parking lot. :(

I forgot to mention -- I was on the 1:00 tour. Anyone else on that one?
