I had planned on going to the dinner, I even circled "yes" when I registered, but I passed out drunk around 6:30 Saturday night, so what did I miss? |

The program of the night consisted of the voice actors and a few other people giving a "radio show" performance complete with commercials (as an A-Team fan, their A-Team commercial was great). There were Cybertronized Shakespeare readings (what did they say, ... they were reading Shakespearecon?) among other things.
They concluded with the Dobson brothers singing a couple songs like "Knockin' on Primus' Door" (a rendition of the original "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." I don't remember who wrote the song originally, but I know Guns 'N Roses remade it). They also
sang that song that goes "In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight..." (Yes, I'm that bad with song names). Of course, the modified it to be on Jungle Planet.
Overall, a nice program. They had centerpiece prizes at each table: Alternators. Some tables had a Windcharger; some had a Battle Ravage or a Shockblast. Then there were the tables that had a Wheeljack or a Decepticharge. Not quite "balanced" in value in my opinion, but nice nontheless. | |

I thought it was Bob Dylan. I even knew the name of the other song, but I just didn't trust my instincts...
I think I prefer the Dobsons' versions of both songs. | |

The dinner and show was really good. I was at the table on the far right (one of the many swinging the candles back and forth during the Three Dobson Night performance) and it was a lot of fun. CURE ME OF MY COMPLETIST WAYS

I'm pretty sure it was based on an African folk song, and other groups covered it before they made it a hit.

Michael Bay would make the best Cinematographer ever. How about a slight career change, Mike?

I had no idea what he was doing until about 2 minutes after he said it.
