Hey, Esprix! First of all, congrats on getting interviewed for The Daily Show. I watch it religiously, so, of course, I’m in complete awe of you now. I watched tonight, but apparently I didn’t study that Linus picture on your website long enough to be able to pick you out on the segment. Damn. Can you give a reference point so I can figure out which fan you are when I watch the repeat tomorrow?
The five scariest words in the English language. 
Seriously, cool for you making the tube. Haven’t done that myself, but I’m waiting for my sitcom.
I looked and looked and looked (and alerted #straightdope that it was coming on in a few minutes), but I didn’t see anyone remotely resembling that flaming blonde hottie we all call “Esprix” (sorry, suddenly “The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze” started running through my head, and my fingers were forced to match the meter). I’ll watch again today, but…sigh. It looks like the con was fun as hell anyhow.
“We’re not going to make fun of you because we’re gay, we’re going to make fun of you because you’re a science fiction geek.” 
Alas, my interview ended up on the cutting room floor (they used most of the stuff they did with me on Jack Frost anyway, whose interview they did put in). I did, however, get screen time.
Keep checking out the background shots, particularly when they show all the people in line waiting to go onstage for the Masquerade. I’m the guy with the blue wig and the white shirt with the big red “R” on it (I was James from Team Rocket from “Pokemon”). I did get one full-screen shot with my friend Rod, who was dressed as Ash Ketchum (also from “Pokemon”), so that’d be the one to look for.
It airs again at 7:00 tonight.

WEEEOOOO!!!
Yes, that could be heard throughout Inky’s house during the segment.
I and my girlfriend Vicious Kitten spent the evening babysitting my housemate Nurse Ratchet’s 8 and 10 year old kids while she worked swing. I told them one of my message board friends was going to be on the Daily Show dressed as either a Star Trek Person or as James from Team Rocket. The kids didn’t know what Star Trek was but knew James. I in turn didn’t know what Team Rocket was, so it all worked out in the end.
There he is! In the purple hair!
WEEEEOOO! We all did the wave!
We waited.
And waited…
There he is again!!
WEEOOOOO!!
The neighbors dog started barking, the popcorn bowl was upturned, high-fives were exchanged, a Strawberry shortcake doll did an improptu airborn cartwheel and ended up in a potted plant. Nobody cared that the sum total of the footage was about a second, everybody enjoyed the excuse to make some noise.
Heavens - I never knew I was so adored. 
Glad I could spice up an otherwise dull Friday evening.

Well thats just a bitch…I missed it…

I have it on tape, O Het Boyfriend of Mine. Wanna come over and, uh, “see my video?”
Esprix
Or we could make fun of you because you’re a gay science fiction geek. You may all now insert jokes with punchlines like:
“But it wasn’t a light saber!”
“Gosh… I thought it was a tribble!”
“Now THAT’S a Genesis device.”
“Oh, you said HARRY Mudd.”
I wish I got Comedy Central but we don’t get that on cable here and my apartment faces the wrong way for a satellite dish.
I’ll have to think about that one!
So where is home these days?

Philadelphia now, San Diego in December, and always the possibility for a layover in Dallas/Ft. Worth…
