HOW WE (MATT RAGSDALE
AND KEVIN
COOK) MET WIL WHEATON AT GEN CON INDY 2010
It was a sultry Saturday evening (Aug 14 2010) in the Crossroads
of America
one of the kinds that no matter how many fans you have ... ya just
can't dry the sweat
I had just returned to the booth (Gamescience)
from helping a girlfriend cover up for the night
When I noticed a familiar celeb
had stopped for a photo op with a gang of fangirls
on
the corner of
avenue A and 1200th ...
I proceeded to put down the hat for
the night ... boy were my dogs
killing me
upon standing I found the previously mentioned source of Trekgirls
fantasies standing right in front of me ...
"Hi .. I'm Wil
Wheaton and I
wanted to stop by and thank you for the custom dice that you sent me
for the
Charity Dungeon Crawl"
... he said
Somewhat taken aback by this sudden brush with Wheatonness ... I
stammered
"The gentleman who
made those
dice for you is right here ... Matt? ...
there is someone
here who wants
to thank you for the custom dice you made for him"
whereupon I proceeded to smack my partner in crime right on his
Jean-Luc Picard wannabe shiny head
My personal hat rack
then proceeded to turn and upon seeing who had interrupted his chatting
up of the aforementioned fangirls
took a halfstep back which ended up closing the cash register drawer
for the night (he's efficient that way)
"Hi ... I'm Wil
Wheaton ...
" said the coiner of "Don't
Be a Dick"
At which point my ever eloquent ... friend said
"Yes ... yes you are"
I left the two of them there as I had been on a 3 day bender and I had
an appointement with my pillow ...
