Oh yeah- I’m DEFINITELY getting photos! 
I got my digital camera and I love
taking pics.
I told my parents about it and they wanna go with me when it comes. 
FONY – Cool. You gotta blog
or something? Or, I guess you could just post 'em here…
Nice photos,
Dash! I hope you had fun.
I would probably want to go on the cheese slide,
just to say “I went on a Ratatouille cheese slide!”. Maybe wait until it’s late at night when all the
teenagers go on the slide, and then you won’t stick out like a sore thumb.
Nice photos, Dash! That cheese slide is SO cool.
Here’s a

Cheese Tour video[/url], it was filmed at the Ratatouille Big Cheese Tour in Cincinnati! So take a look!
Thanks for the link JV. I had an awesome time viewing it. It looks so
cool.
Haha – that was quite enjoyable! The guy banging on the
pots and pans reminded me of my sister and I; we used to do the same thing when we were kids. Heheh.
Thanks for the link, JV!
Thanks JV!
I’m leaving
with my family in a few minutes to see the tour stop in Pittsburgh at the Three Rivers Arts Festival.
Haha. I’ve got nothin’ to lose.

Have fun, PixarVixen!
Have fun!

Lucky PV. i wish I was you right
about now. Well, i hope you have a wonderful time.
I’m back, but I’m also
exhausted. Heheh. While I rest, photos are uploading from my camera. I’ll post my goodies later.
~~=oP
Heheh – I trust you had a grand
time while there, PV. Post those pictures soon!
PV - Awesome! I can’t wait!
PV- Sounds good! Hope you had a good time there.
I can’t wait for the pictures PV. Glad ya had fun
there.
Can’t wait! 
Sorry for the wait, guys. I was
tired. Plus, I had 157 photos to skim through. Heheh.
The Big Cheese Tour is mainly geared towards kids,
but if you’re a die-hard Pixar fan and you have an opportunity, go. I won exclusive
Ratatouille scratch & sniff trading cards and movie posters, and I watched the
9-minute preview in “air-conditioned comfort”. Besides, the experience is entertaining.
I’d
post all of my good photos, but most of them are of what Dash posted previously.
Luckily, I have some new goodies.

slide, but much to my disappointment, I was too tall by about 15 inches.

[b]2 monitors above the stage displayed a
PowerPoint presentation of character bios, Ratatouille fun facts, and tour sponsor
ads on a continuous loop. I found one fun fact particularly
interesting:[/b]

[b]Inside the special sneak peek screening tent,
there were little cheese wedge seats for the kids. The photo is a bit blurry, but I wanted to share it. Those
seats are downright adorable, and so is the kid.

And that concludes this portion of the tour.
2 people DID remember
Dash! The man described him as “the tall guy who looked like Superman”.
Back when they met him, they knew he either worked for Pixar or was a major fan. And my Dash t-shirt
made the woman remark, “I’m guessing you’re both huge Incredibles fans”.
Heehee.
I’m up for answering questions if you guys have any for me.

Great pics,
Pixar Vixen! They were very interesting to look at - they made me want to be there,
but at least you took some pics so I could see what it was like. All of it looked so fun. All you Americans
are lucky to have the opportunity to go… The cheese seats are cute.
In that
last storyboard picture, it looks like Remy’s going “Aaaayyy”.
Why am I not surprised that
they remembered Dash.
