Two talks by Pamela Gay, one with Phil Plait and one moderated by Kevin Grazier. Good Con.

Or did you have another meaning of the word "con"? :P

You cannot con a dragon, crafty and perceptive critters that they are. DC loses a couple dozen fans each year from getting incinerated by pissed-off dragon fire.

More beer for the rest of us. :cheers:

I assume I'll lose some geek-points, but I don't know who that is in the picture.

That's Pamela Gay, and no I didn't know that till I googled it.

So I presume that Geo didn't attempt to con any dragons, so the Question is: did any Dragon connned you? :P

You may may get fired from your job over at CQ! Yes, that is Pamela Gay, at her 'crank' talk of which I posted on CQ.

How exactly do you google a photo of mine to determine who is pictured?

And I'm going to send a couple of dragons down to bananaland and have them flame your ass. :ak:

You mentioned that there were talks by Pamela Gay, I googled that name (because I have never heard of her) and of course pictures of her popped up. :)

Don't waste your dragon's time on me, there's plenty of meritorious people here to flame their ass.......

No, they'll just cut my pay.

Since you mentioned you saw her talk on CQ I kind of guessed that. I've never met her and she only barely looks like my vague memories of what she looked like in other pictures I've seen.

Let's just say meeting her isn't on my bucket list, but I'm glad you had fun.

Meh! I just clicked on the photo in the post and it took me to flicker where I could see the title in the lower left corner. :lol: Sometimes the direct approach works.
