Back from a really fun time at the HTF event - saw our very own dear reader ChasSmith, Nick Redman and his ever-lovin' Julie Kirgo, Nick's Twilight Time partner Brian, and I met Ron Epstein who runs the HTF and a lot of really nice folks.  Here's a big surprise though: former dear reader MattH was apparently there when I arrived - I don't know if this is coincidental or not, but before he could be pointed out to me he bolted and left, presumably to catch a flight home.  So, I had no chance to pass on your well wishes, nor do I think he would have cared to hear them from me - which is, on the face of it, kind of nauseating but not unexpected.

That is kind of what I figured would happen.

Silly, silly, silly (that is three sillys).

There's an old saying that if you think the worst of someone that is surely what you'll get.

Since you didn't see or meet him, and he did not see or meet you, I recommend you give him the benefit of the doubt.  I think he would have been delighted to meet and speak with you.
I'm fairly certain this was not personal.  He didn't think he'd be able to attend the Twilight Time gathering because of his evening flight, but he later found he could stay for some of it.   Unless someone said he saw you and didn't want to meet you, which would be totally unlike him, please accept that his flight plans precluded your meeting.

You know, I'd like to think that, and I'm sure he had to catch his flight, but according to dear reader ChasSmith we walked right by him when we arrived.  I don't think it was much of a secret I was going to be there.  Frankly, I would like to have talked to him and passed on the well wishes, but alas that was not to be.
