Dang, that totally sucks about your tools getting nabbed (ganked, or whatever the slang term is now)! I don't know how you feel, but from the way I read it; if that were me, I'd be talking to Frank about re-couping some of those tools or the costs, since he made the announcement.
I loved the panel discussion, thanks to Clonecrazy (I think) for posting those videos. I wish you guys would have talked a little more about photonovels, but understand that you were limited on time. As mentioned on FB, "nice accent"!! It's really cool getting to see the people behind the customs. Funny thing is, I learned a couple about pronunciation watching those videos. First of all, I've been pronouncing Sillof's name as "Sill - off" and apparently it's "Sigh - loff." Also, for years I've been pronouncing "Tonnika" (as in Tonnika Sisters) as "Tonic - ah," but apparently it's actually pronounced, "To - nee - ka." Not sure who came up with the pronunciation "To - nee - ka" (and that may be the "official" pronunciation), but it just doesn't fit the spelling to me.
By the way, you guys mentioned that you did not use "Wal-Mart" paints. Over the years, I've heard people praise Applebarrel paints, and that's the brand I've used. Not the most durable brand, but what brand of paint do you guys use?
