Botcon.com has put up a new YouTube video, this one of the fan boy-esque reaction from Tyreese when he got to meet Peter Cullen.

It's a bit shaky at first, but settles down about a quarter of the way into it.

This was a totally awesome moment.

You know, watching this, makes me think I should have put in a bigger effort. Botcon 09 for me was an hour drive away. AN HOUR! And it's not like I do these things regularly, or plan to make it a regular thing. And since when is Mr. Cullen ever coming back to these things again, and THIS CLOSE?! I could have easily gotten an autograph from him; he was five ft from me! But, turned around, he vanished. Oh, the longing.

Was this your first convention?

I know my first one, I've pissed myself off from what I didn't do.

Yes, it was. And possibly my only, at least as far as I can tell for a LONG LONG time.

I don't have the means to fly out of state for these kinds of things, and I'm leaving my hometown soon to go to school and work on a degree that can (and does) take me to god-knows-where parts of the world, so I don't know when my path will ever cross with Botcon's again, if at all.

But, maybe if I'm a really really good boy Santa Prime will grant my wish.
