Awesome! She introduced herself to me and Jay. ~waves~ Ilene, I only
managed to do Phoenix Comicon by making sure I can run off and hide
when necessary. The largest con that I feel comfortable attending is
Worldcon and even there, I still take frequent breaks from the crowds.

Anyway, it was an amazing experience. Joe *is* a hoot. Everyone was
so great!

Okay, since we're talking about conventions, I seem to remember JMS doing a return prank on Peter Jurasik and one other actor in retribution for a prior thing they pulled at a convention. I can't remember their prank, and I've never heard what JMS did to get them back. Can anyone enlighten me on these two points?

Exactly! Although, even modern renderings of A Midsummer Night's Dream have a travesti: Flute, the bellows mender, portrays Thisbe in the play they present at the Duke's wedding. Andreas was in A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Public Theater in New York, in the early 80s, but he didn't get to play a woman
then, either: he was Snout the Tinker, so in the wedding play, he portrayed a wall (or rather, "Wall"). :-)
