Hey guys,

I just wanted to say that it was nice to check out WDW in the winter for the decorations. The Christmas party was ok but the best part for me was to finally meet you guys face to face. Len is no longer allowed at the Polynesian after asking me where I was staying (yes they have posters up with your face) and it was good to spend as much time as I did talking with you guys. I know it was busy and you all had a million people to talk to so it was great to talk as long as we did. It would be nice to see you guys there not during Mousefest so we could talk about more. I spent a little time with Lou a day before the craziness hit so we got to talk quite a while. Hopefully someday we can all go to dinner in WDW.

Len,

It was great to see you in person after talking to you and emailing for so long.

Matt,

Congratulations again and thanks for taking some time to hang out and talk.

Mike S.,

You aren’t as old as they act like you are!!! Next time we are there at the same time I am going to buy you a Dole Whip but we are getting it from the Polynesian.

Mike N.,

It was good to meet you and I tried to talk to you again before we left but you were surrounded like you were Eddie Van Halen or something.

Aloha and keep up the great show.

Steve

I can't believe I missed you guys by just one week! Maybe next time I'll be able to make it!

I totally forgot to mention on the show that we saw the night time launch of the Space Shuttle from the Boardwalk.

What an awesome sight!!!!

Just listened to the Mousefest episode (still haven't made the week up of podcast listening that I lost at Mousefest)--it was great! It really reminded me of all the fun chaos and frenzied activity that made up the whole time.

For those who weren't there--these guys were total rock stars! You could barely get close enough to see them, for all the fans. They couldn't have been sweeter though, and took time to chat with everyone. (Thanks for the shout-out Newell--wooo!)

Mostly I'm still recovering from the cognitive dissonance of having none of them look like my mental pictures. They were all much younger, particularly Scopa, who has sort of a younger Gene Barry thing going on. Nothing near as bad, however, as the shock of seeing Paul Barrie from Window to the Magic. He sounds like he should look like Orville Redenbacher, and looks like he should be riding a Harley wearing one of those German helmets with the spike on top.

Season's Greetings!
Newell- sexy tube top

At the beggining of the episode right after Scopas Soarin' intro Newell used the phrase "sexy tube top, Baby" where is that quote from?
