The Great Tree

brian · Posted: Wed Apr 21, 2004 10:29 am Post subject: Mysterium Presentation

Is anyone here planning on going to Mysterium? Does anyone thing that The Great Tree should do some sort of presentation?

I had an idea for one of my own... just an idea.
I was thinking maybe I could wear my jacket and recreate the little speech I made in the 'hood about how I met Sharper, and how the Great Tree was formed and evolved. Think anyone would be interested in seeing that? /shrug

If you wanted, you could even go ALL the way back to the beginning and do the speech you gave on the Docks, right after you met Sharper. Either way, I'd say that the jackets are a must for any GTer there, and you, Brian, are required to wear sunglasses no matter how dark it is. Laughing

I wish Canada were closer to Texas Crying or Very sad

Wow, I totally forgot about that one. That was before I even started saving chat logs, so I'm not sure if I'd even come close to remembering what I said at all. (old school pre-Great Tree reference: How about those Patriots?)

As far as the sunglasses... of course! Cool

(As an interesting aside, and also trying to not sound full of myself, I kinda wonder if people will recognize me or think I'm someone impersonating me. The funny thing is, how many people can actually pull out a photo ID to prove it? "Look here, it IS me! Here's my driver's license, see? I really AM Professor Askew!")

Oh, Brian, we have GOT to talk.....

And, yes, I think it's a great idea. I'll PM you tonight....

Yeah, people kept making that mistake. The best one was the time that someone came up to me and asked how it was that I was included in the credits for the Book of Ti'ana (I think it was that one). I actually stood there for a second and thought, "really?!" Turns out there was a Brian De Fiore mentioned or something. Cool

Yeah, even during the later GT meetings, people new to the cavern kept asking if you were in the DRC. Which is, of course, wrong on a variety of levels.

You should have run with that one and said that Gehn was your idea Wink

I think you should definitely make some presentation, Brian. Jacket and sunglasses are a must. I just wish I could be there to watch...

I think a presentation would be great Brian. I know there are a lot of people out there who don't know about the Great Tree and it's relationship with Douglas Sharper. Also, there are a lot of misconceptions about Sharper from many of the explorers. All they think is that he was some kind of fanatic trying to bring down the DRC. Maybe you could set the record straight.
