I'd like to take a moment to thank some people.  First to the people who held our spots in line while Becca and I ran to the dealer room.  Alex for being a new friend and giving me someone to talk to in line.  My mother for letting me go.  The voice actors for being so nice and fun.  Transformers in general for giving me years of enjoyment and draining my wallet.  But most importantly, Becca for going with me even when I know you hated being there, it meant the world to me.

I do regret one thing.  There was a guy from New York in the line with Alex and I.  I didn't get an e-mail address for him or anything and he was a great guy.  Perhaps he'll be there next year and I can fix that.
