Neema's Summary Part 4

Saturday... The Big Day Part 2

Ok, big Ubi presention over and onto where we shine best... Greeters Unite!

We all filed out of the preso, had a quick meeting with Wolfie and decided to meet back at the conference room where the Fan Presentations were going to be held.

We had a surprise in mind so we all went back to our room and changed into our official greeter outfits! We all purchased Greeter shirts and had our names applies to the T-Shirt (Awesome work Ayli!!!) We all rested for a brief moment and returned to the conference area. We all had our assigned Greeter positions, directing people to the conference room, handing out pins, folders, raffle tickets and general greeting duties to make everyone feel welcome. Boy was that fun! Greeters in their glory! A moment to be proud of!!

The webcam was up and running again, and the Fan presentations started, we covered everything from someone proposing the setup of a real life Myst Island to a great flash movie to costume presentations, all were super! Then the GoG had their turn. Now being on the Mysteruim committee for the GoG, I had seen some coverage of the video that we created for the presentation, but I was floored by the final version, the time and effort that went into the video... it is almost too much for words. Everyone was moved by the content of our presentation, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. I was so proud to be part of the GoG at that moment.. it still brings a tear to my eyes thinking about it. All I can say is please see the video and you will understand.

Ok our part done, with a great MC job handled by Wolfie!!, three cheers for our one and only Wolfie!! The final thing to do was to have the raffles, and there certainly was a lot to give away!! Once all was said and done, it was time to pack everything up, and I remember that everyone was hesitant to leave, we all wanted the moment to last as long as we could let it... but all good things must come to an end so we ended up drifting apart. The greeters all gathered for dinner, we were all hungry and tired, so we tried to find a place near the hotel to eat. We found a great pasta restaurant and ended up having a great dinner. The owner was kind enough to stay open for us (it was kind of late, and Toronto seems to close up around 11pm) and we had excellent pasta dinners for everyone!

The hour was late and we were all exhausted after the long emotional day so we all called it a night, after a quick nightcap at the bar of course and went to bed. My head hit the pillow and I was fast asleep!!! zzzzzzzzz.....zzzzzzzz
