Meet John Lear, Dave Rabbit, Johnny Anonymous and Springer in person.

While I love having my name bandied about, even by Lear, I must say a few things.

1. Mr. Lear, Sir, please don't deny that you are unwilling, or incapable of stooping to my lower than the gutter level. I know you are. You know you are and your fans know you are. You just say it nicer so it comes across as less gutter-ish (new word, you can use it).

2. Springer, when that sash pinning goes down, please make sure the video camera gets full coverage as I want to see Val's smile juxtaposed with Mr. Lear's grimace at the point of pinnage.

3. Val, thanks for pointing out the hypocrisy.

4. I will not be attending this convention for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, Mr. Lear and I cannot be within 50 feet of eachother and this space includes physical being as well as our egos and, speaking for myself here, my ego covers a bit more ground than that.

5. John, make sure you write a special note on the foil cap for me. I have a special place in my office for all my ATS artifacts and documents and I want that to be visible by all that enter. (I'm dead serious about that).

I'm thinking of sending a camera crew in to document the whole event, especially the goings on around the ATS posse. I'm thinking we might have a new series here. Something like Entourage, only with tin and titor instead of T & A.

I just looked my Wife in the eye (with a straight face no less) and told her that I have to attend a Convention in San Jose this month. The look in her eyes tells me that unless I can qualify this as a business trip it may not be in the cards. Sounds like fun to me? I have to wonder how many ATSer's are worried it is a Government attempt to learn the identities of ATS members?

Now, if this were to feature Crakeur, Val and John Lear in a WW-Something Cage Match? Might even get ESPN coverage? You folks ready to put on some wrestling costumes? I have to admit that is some of the most civilized flaming I've seen.

John,
Will you be bringing your collection of documents, photo's...........?

Hey Springer !! Hope all is well with you. Sorry Won't be able to attend, Perhap's next time.

Dallas

As you all know AboveTopSecret.com will be holding their annual beauty contest at the BayAreaUFOExpo. I will be personally selecting the most beautiful contestants and bestowing the coveted AboveTopSecret.com beauty contestant sash. (Cellphone and room number is the only information that is required).

As you all know the AboveTopSecret.com beauty contest in not gender specific as we are looking only for that special 'inner beauty' so I have taken the liberty of modeling the sash:

lol That's Awesome John.

Oh.. How I want to be there.... I'm sorry I'll miss it.

I hope there will be plenty of pictures.

I can only say that I am GLAD John is picking the winners!



Springer...

My daughter Alli will be there too:

I wish I had the means, visiting the convention would be fascinating. An opportunity to meet John Lear in person would be reason enough to go. Speaking of whom, I find some of the comments here in regards to him to be a bit tacky, not to mention a poor reflection of the positions held by those who made them.

.....

Edit:
Best wishes to all who do attend, I hope you have a blast.

I am very excited to meet you guys on a personal and face to face level. This should be GREAT.

Will it be one of those hi, how ya doin, move it along kinda things or will we be able to hang out and shoot the bull with you guys for a bit? Just curious cuz im not seein a whole lotta other exhibits that are turnin my crank. Oh well, its all good, ill accomplish what i came to do just by meeting you guys.

And John the offer still stands for a good steak and lobster dinner whenever you come through the central valley here in Cali.

Well that dinner invitation stands for any ATS member comin through town but i invited John when he first came here. Just reminding him of it.

Its always a hang out shoot the bull at the Expo. We hang out at the tables to sell stuff (like the AboveTopSecret.com Official John Lear Tin Foil Hat) and interview beauty contestant candidates and try and enlighten the masses. Then we all go for lunch after we find someone to pay who wants to hang out with us at lunch and hear the secrets of the universe discussed. Then at cocktail time in the lounge there is more hanging out with more beauty contestant interviews (remember its the INNER BEAUTY) and more divulging of secrets of the universe.

Then we all go to the banquet on Saturday night where there is more hanging out with the group from ATS either at our table or one near by.

After the banquet we retire to the lounge and wait for party invitations to come in. There are always several parties in several of the suites going on after the banquet. So I usually send a scout up to see whos there, what the snacks are and if there are any likely beauty contestants with the inner beauty that we prefer. If the party meets our standards we go up and bless them with our presence.

We should get around to the finals in the beauty contest around 2am. And after I make the selections and announce the winners it will be time for a little libation and cigars which is usually held out at the patio by the pool so we can watch for any UFO's in the California skies.

The gang usually meets for breakfast around 8 to be ready to open up the tables and start interviewing beauty contestants for nexts years Expo and more hanging out and enlightening of the masses. Sunday is just a repeat of Saturday except the parties start a little earlier because everybody is tired of enlightening the masses and just wants to get down to the hard partying. See you there.

Gee, John, it's too bad Alli had to crash her baby-blue Hummer at the side of the pool. Maybe if she wins the contest (and doesn't just model the sash), you'll be able to get her a new one...

Good luck!

It is time...

The principals are converging on San Jose as I post this... And I'm sneaking out of the office by 1:00 pm to make my way...

Incriminating photos to follow.
