It is in part a reflection on the aging of the fanbase, I suppose. I was at a
small local Pokethulhu convention in San Antonio just last week, and our
population of effervescent girls in pajamas (normally my favorite part of any
gathering - that and the slaps from my wife) were wearing _shoes_ as often as
not, and I did take notice that a remarkable portion of the fanbase were wearing
denim vests encrusted with amusing buttons. Button-vested fans are never a good
sign (my favorite one was a bit of grim humor about Dhole Spinach).

BUT, to be sure, there were kids, including the earliest signs of a next
generation of fans ... Some of those shoe-wearing former pajama girls had
bundles of joy (and I don't mean the kind Titus had to tip into a smelting vat).
And with the new restoration project underway I think the forthcoming North
American DVD sets will really energize the fan base (if the rumors are true, the
first set will have two full discs of featurettes and extras, including the
storyboards that were suppressed when they caused some of the production interns
to go mad and eat their own knees).

>We must have one!

This fellow agrees:

... and I'm led to understand that he's lurking here among us, in the dark
corners where we cannot see. This too is good news.
