Who are you especially excited to see at 5.5?

At TAM 5.5, which of the guest speakers or 'also featuring' people (http://www.randi.org/joom/content/view/48/39/) are you especially looking forward to seeing? Why are you especially excited to see him/her/them?

I'll go first.

Really, I most excited to see Rebecca, R.S. Lancaster, our Dr Plait, Alison Smith, and Jeff Wagg.

Why? Sadly I am biased. (or not sadly) They are my friends now and I look forward to seeing them again. So, the rest lose out only for me knowing less about them.

I really want to hear from the people for whom this is their first event.

Why, you, of course (in keeping with the stalker vibe earlier).

Actually, everybody. I've only met a few people so far, even though I've been around for nearly six years. I've met Cleon, ottle, mr. ottle and wowbagger, but it will be nice to be in a large group of skeptics. I get so little of that from my friends and family...

[Wowbagger]

Everyone!

There was such a high percentage of forum people, it was like a class reunion.

I enjoyed meeting Kelly and Gravy for the first time. I respect them both for the work that they do.

And I enjoyed seeing all my friends!!

Yeah, Kelly is amazing. What a situation, and what an incredible thing she has done with it.

Jerome, but I hear he is not going to be there. :(
