I think the varying descriptions of Alex were hilarious and so so horrible.
“I asked the puppyish Carpenter if the hordes of boys and girls hanging on him throughout the conference meant that wizard rock has helped him score some horntail.”
That is just wrong. So wrong. Yet it totally sounds like something I’d say (but not in print, mind you).
Also, since when has Matt been “a sturdy fellow”? It makes him sound like Sam Gamgee or something.

SCORE SOME HORNTAIL? Is that supposed to be…a good thing?
It wouldn’t let me get to the whole article because I “didn’t subscribe” so I only saw what Matt posted in his blog.
Haha, Kim, you’re funny.

“It makes him sound like Sam Gamgee or something.”
Kim, my friends used to tease me all the time for looking a lot like Sean Astin when he played Sam Gamgee. In fact, just to shut them up about it, I agreed to dress up as Sam for one of the movie releases. Not even kidding.

the sam gamgee references are all over the wizard rock, first brandon and his “get on my back” and now matt with this studyness.
oh sam

Dude, Mattymo- tell me you have pictures. That’s FANTASTIC. Send them to my spinnerscast email address if you dare. I promise they won’t go further than my desktop.
Lizz, read the daggum article. I think Q and I laughed for like ten minutes at the author’s reaction to slashfiction.
Haley, you should be able to read it without subscribing. Get with me on skype, and I’ll send you the link.
