Hey, 'Lego' my Hugo! heh. I love it! Which boy scout thought to bring along some legos to create a geeky simulacrum of the coveted Hugo??

downtown Disney has Lego-land that's where the Lego's were purchased.  In order to find Scalzi I used my "Scalzi-Summoning" power which worked every day we were there...creepy...

"Scalzi summoning" is fun--you can try it at home! Just say something bad about the man or his writing, something you would be embarassed for him to overhear, and magically he will appear before you! Or behind you, as is usually the case, so that you have time to finish putting your foot in your mouth before he says anything.

Ooh boy.  I've been unwittingly "summoning" Robert Jordan a lot lately, especially after reading his latest in the Wheel of Words.  He's probably on a plane right now on his way here.
