Richard was very shy at Avalon as it was his first convention, but I have heard that since then he has well and truly come out of his shell and is a complete scream on the convention circuit.
You betcha! I was at last year's Gatecon as well, and what a difference it was. He was very entertaining and telling stories and doing voices of other people in between. We laughed very hard and melted at the same time. The panels, the auction, he himself said at the end that he had a blast. Now, if he only had believed us years ago! I was tempted to yell "Toldya!!!"

I strongly recommend buying the DVD once it is out.
If you haven't seen it yet, there also is a transcript of the Saturday panel at Kate's site:

I am very jealous! I had wanted to get to either/both 'Meet The Man' and/or 'The Sanctuary Experience' but unfortunately finances (and possibly family commitments) did not allow. I will get to a Stargate con one of these days though!
I want to see pictures ... lots and lots of pictures
but most of all *ENJOY*

Sorry to hear, I would have loved to meet you again! As for pictures, that is Paya's department (met her in a pub in Wells). She has a wonderful camera. If you wanna see her handiwork, go to these three albums:

I plan to bring my puppets this time, so I can make pictures of Jack in Vancouver
