An unexpected plus at the con was the presence of
Beth McKeever -- aka BEEZ, who worked on MST3K
(most notably as Steffi the babysitter in the episode
"The Touch Of Satan"). The capper Agent_Moldy had
a great idea which we didn't have the guts to go
through -- asking her to autograph my root beer can
with the words "No Barq!" (or "No bark," cause you
see ... ahhh, just go and watch the episode). Trace
is moving out of the picture because apparently he's
allergic to Beez*.
