Yes, you are all very sexy.
Conversely, though, the reason I've never updated my profile pic isn't because I'm too lazy and apathetic to have done so, it's because I actually look like an androgynous, hairless, eggheaded grey grublin.

And I also look a bit like Michael Myers (with the mask on of course).

And that has got to be me indicated there by the red arrow. It looks like the male pattern baldness is setting in properly now!

Here are a few of the other social media posts about the day and the streams of the talks (if available). I know the Twitter and Instagram embedding just produces blank space for some, so I'm included direct links to the tweets/posts too – HTH. See if any forum members can spot themselves – I can see at least one but possibly two.
Hopefully the vids are OK for all...?
http://instagr.am/p/CiE2-IbqHK8 Instagram post 3 - artofnerdgoreStarting with Jon Green's welcome then flick to 35:22 for Rhianna Pratchett and Jon Green 1:30:14 for Marc Gascoigne, Paul Mason, Peter Darvill-Evans and Keith P Phillips 2:36:55 for Ian Livingstone (joined at 2:54:14 by Mike McCarthy) Edit: inevitably it's turned out that the videos are exactly the things failing to appear for some people, so here are the direct links: Livestream part 1Starting with Alan Langford, Duncan Smith and Tony Hough then click on to 1:50:25 for Steve Jackson and Jon Green
Livestream part 2ETA: It's slightly comical and a bit of a shame that, due presumably to poor clicker control, TH concludes that there aren't any pictures from Spectral Stalkers for him to comment on shortly after two pretty spectacular colour versions of the Conjurer & Catwoman from SS para 105 and giants on beastback from para 126 have appeared at 1:08. Perhaps someone should have pointed that out.

Were there as many artists as authors there? Must have been close. Must be a bit weird for the artists as well, they're commissioned for a one-off job that ends up with this extensive afterlife. It's always good to see and speak to the artists. In a previous FF-Fest I remember Chris Achilleos saying something about an artist's working life potentially being quite isolating - drawing or painting in a studio all day by themselves. For me, that's makes it all the more important to get them along to these sorts of things - a clap on the back and a round of applause for people that make a big difference to the books. As well as a chance to talk to them about their careers and artistic influences. Mike McCarthy's enthusiasm about the project was clear and he was pleased about being able to do work that would last, that would make it to print.. (I think he does a lot of concept art for computer gaming? Stuff that is normally very ephemeral.) I spent quite a bit of time talking to Richy Sampson (aka Nerdgore the artist for Lone Wolf) and like all the other artists the enthusiasm comes through. Back to your point though - yes - that's got to be true. Especially so for artists like Duncan Smith and (the not present this time) Malcolm Barter who had done only one or two books way back near the start of the series.
