One thing we noticed last year, for sure....

If a persons avatar is a pic of them, it makes the meet and greet a LOT easier.

See a smooth lounge singer in purple velvet? That's Tony/aerocha!
See a guy kissing a bowling ball? The dude420!
See a glowing green alien? Trippin Tom!

It just made it a little easier.

Now when I see a black blob swimming up the river, I'll know it's you Mike!
