That’s amazing! Congrats

I cannot express how jealous I am of you Bryko, for reals. What was Lee and Darla like in person?

Bryko614 · October 10, 2010, 10:13pm

It was really, really surreal seeing them in real life after all this time, but they were as awesome as they seem.

lizardgirl · October 10, 2010, 10:58pm

Oh wow, Bryko, that’s amazing! And even more special that Lee might’ve recognised you through Twitter. Eeep!

Leirin · October 13, 2010, 8:22pm

Lucky Bryko. I meant to try getting an autograph like a year ago but just never bothered…

Evangeline · October 13, 2010, 11:07pm

Ooh, go for it Leirin! You should write to them now It’s the most amazing thing getting it back, I’m sure anyone here can tell you that

I emailed them and got this as a response about 10 minutes later.

That always does. Then you wait on the mail.

lennonluvr9 · October 24, 2010, 2:05pm

That’s totally awesome! I’d love to able to meet any of them…

I went to the Cartoon Art Museum benefit at Pixar yesterday. Lee Unkrich stopped by for a bit to chat and sign things before presenting a screening of Toy Story 3. Totally nice guy, as was everyone I met at Pixar. Jeff Pidgeon, story artist and voice of the aliens, also stuck around after the screening to sketch, sign, and chat.

ellie-jessie-eve · November 8, 2010, 5:19am

Death Ray: I am so incredibly jealous, you have no idea!!! I’m glad you had that oppertunity.

JJejja · November 9, 2010, 2:11pm

Guess what I got in the mail today? A signed Up poster from Pete Docter! It even has my name on it! And he did a little Kevin sketch on it too. I’m so happy I could explode

Spazette · November 9, 2010, 3:58pm

^^ HOW did you get that?!?! Seriously jealous!

Death Ray: OK I may cry with jealously now…that’s totally amazing! I would kill for the toy Alien, let alone a signed one!

You lucky people.

JJejja · November 9, 2010, 5:33pm

Well, I just wrote a letter about how he and his movies inspires me. And that his movies helped me through a hard time not so long ago. It was pretty long, and I got a response about 3 months later.

Spazette · November 9, 2010, 5:36pm

That’s seriously cool! So glad to hear they pay attention to fan mail like that.

ellie-jessie-eve · November 9, 2010, 5:49pm

JJejja: Wow! A poster? How crazy awesome is that? Congrats!

Bryko614 · November 9, 2010, 7:44pm

Just randomly got this today. I don’t even remember sending a request, but I guess I did.

So, that’s 5 autographs. I’ll probably go for John next if I decide to write another letter.

Spazette · November 9, 2010, 8:48pm

Did you guys write letters addressed to John/Andrew/etc. just asking for an autograph?

JJejja · November 9, 2010, 9:24pm

Yeah I wrote it adressed to Pete, but I didn’t really ask him for an autograph.

ellie-jessie-eve · November 10, 2010, 12:52am

Yep, there’s more details about it on the first page of this thread, in case you want to send one yourself.
