Oh heck, even with high speed access a lunch hour goes by way too quick, so this'll have to be my last post... Ah well after tomorrow night I can come play again!!!
I volunteered to drop out of the autograph line Saturday evening to allow Saturday-only attendees to get their autos (Amanda'd already been signing for 2.5 hours at that point and there was still a ton of people in line....) and what they did was to let those of us who did that get in line first on Sunday. Think I was like 7th or 8th or something. They brought up the woman who had bought the panda and were putting her in line a few people behind me, but I insisted she come up in front of me. Was a cute panda and the 'adoption certificate' was even cuter (she was having Amanda auto it too).
It was very sweet to hear the new Panda Mom complimenting Amanda for her matching donation, Amanda telling her no, it was really her who rocked, and then them both agreeing it was the 2nd runner up who matched their bids who *really* rocked! So $3K was raised for the charity which grants $1K grants to children who need help with medical bills they can't afford.
So Shore Leavers (and AT fans!) will have helped 3 children in need!
I had to leave around 7 p.m. Sunday, and the auto line was going strong, but to show you how gracious and wonderful Amanda was, she told the con organizers that she didn't have to leave until Monday and that she would stay until every last person got their autos.
Very cool. ((((((Amanda))))))))
