Dear Dante,

Hi, my name’s Anna and I just wanted to ask a few quick questions. I’m not sure if you’ve been asked these already, but… please bear with me.

First off, according to the website, you’ll be in Tampa for Metrocon from July 26th to July 28th, correct? I know it’s probably correct, but I just want to be absolutely sure, because if you are, then I will be bringing along an object that is very precious to me, to see if you’ll sign it. Which is my second question, if it’s alright to ask you to sign it.

Pictured above is me with said object, my VHS copy of Hook (which…. doesn’t have a case because it was that cardboard one that I think fell apart a few years ago, making me feel like crying). I cannot tell you how many times that particular tape has been played. I’m fairly certain that this particular movie made up about…. 60% of my childhood, and even today I’m pretty sure I can quote most of it from memory. (I might find my VCR and pop this baby in for a movie night, though, just for a refresher.)

(I also kind of seriously wanted to be you, as a kid, because ARGGHHHH YES. Rufio was the freakin’ coolest person I could think of. Probably still is. You’re really cool and you’ve definitely gone on to do more cool things since then. c: But I just wanted to throw that in there. Because I needed to look like an even bigger dork, I guess.)

But really, I’m getting way off-topic. I just really wanted to make sure it was okay to bring this tape and ask you to sign it, at the end of this month, because it IS really special to me and I don’t want to lose it or anything while at such a big convention.

And also tell you that you were an integral part of my childhood and thank you for being really awesome and I’m going to shut up now.

My other questions would involve the food fight scene from Hook, because that is still probably the most delicious stuff I’ve ever seen in my life, but I think this question is already getting WAY too long, so I’ll stop!

Sincerely,

Anna

P.S. I happened to read Homestuck and all (and I’m imagining a lot of people learned about you from there), but it’s pretty cool how well you took all the crazy that is that webcomic and the parts about Rufio. Just…. yeah.

thanks for the note…

i can’t believe you still have that VHS!!! More surprised it still works! My VHS machine broke awhile ago and I never got it replaced… but definitely bring it and i’ll definitely sign it.
