Catspaw and JF vs. Laura and Watson

Today I bring to you the tale of two fan clubs.
Back in June, I received a message from Catspaw, letting me know that she would be visiting JF in Virginia. As Dr. Watson and I don't live all that far from her, they wondered if they would be able to arrange a meetup.
After some delays, we were able to work it out that they would drive up to our house one day for dinner. Woot!
Unfortunately, they both showed up wearing Shadowpaw Fan Club t-shirts.
What was this abomination?! Everyone knows that the Dr. Watson Fan Club pwns all others.
For awhile we were in a standoff.
We were able to work out our differences eventually and had a wonderful time chatting around the dinner table.
It was great to be able to make little ToO and AIO references and jokes and actually have them understood! Haha!
It was over all too soon, and they had to be on their way after posing for pictures.
And just yesterday, what came in the mail but a package from Catspaw!
She was so kind and sent an assortment of Canadian CANDY for us.
Look at that!
ToO reunions are pure awesomeness.

Lovely photos! And I'm a bit jealous at that delicious pile of candy.

Many thanks go to Laura and Dr. Watson and their family for being wonderful hosts! I love the way Laura presented the pictures.
It was indeed a showdown of epic proportions. Fortunately, we're all mature enough to agree to disagree.
Sherlock, you're closer to the border than most Americans. Come and taste the goodness for yourself!

Dr. Watson is awesome and so is Laura's shirt, but Shadowpaw Fan Club wins.
Oh, seriously treasure those Coffee Crisp bars. A nice light snack.
Just remember if you got any Kinder Eggs to keep them hidden inside your house and don't tell anyone you have them!
They're banned in the US.

I didn't know this. xD Another reason why living in Canada is amazing, aha.

Yeah, I've read stories of people getting Kinder Eggs confiscated at the border going into the US.
Now that I know they're banned in the US, I try not to send them, but it does seem more than a little silly.
Shadowpaw fan club forever!
It will never die...unless we let evil Dr. Watson win.

Just so everyone knows, I'm the one on the far right.

You are never allowed in Virginia again.

It looks like all of you had a fun time!
I really liked the way that Laura presented those pictures. It definitely made me laugh

Hmm, good point! But, alas, I am leaving the rebel colonies on Monday, so I will have to source my candy from Her Majesty's turf. This includes the vile and notorious Kinderegg, scourge of safety-minded children everywhere.

Wait! There are actual "I
The Shadowpaw Fanclub" t-shirts? I thought that was a reoccurring joke.
I didn't know those were only available in Canada. *Enjoys more thoroughly.*
It looks like you thoroughly enjoyed yourselves. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

Oh good, it will be much more convenient for me if you and Laura come to visit me in Canada.

Sounds like a wise move. Have fun! English chocolate is good too.

It's a joke because it's real!
The fan club idea was a joke, but one day at the college I went to way back in the day, they had a t-shirt press machine where you could get anything you wanted on a t-shirt, and inspiration struck! JF, Frank and I all have t-shirts...and maybe one more person? I can't remember now, but I thought there were 4 of them. Maybe Evil Chick?

Was it Lizzy? I was looking through old convention threads recently...
It looks like you had a lot of fun
Awesome pictures and the candy might just mean I have to trek up to Canada sometime

They were made long before Lizzie or I were members of the fan club. ("long before" being a relative term to the age of the club upon our joining
) I'm nearly positive the 4th is Evil Chick.

Oh yeah?? Well, which one of us has access to the insta-ban button??

I feel like a total n00b, but...
First, who's JF?
Second, who's who? I know who Laura and Dr. Watson are because of pictures in the Post a Picture of yourself thread, but I don't know which one is Catspaw and which one is JF...

JF (jesusfreak777) is the former co-host of The Unofficial AIO Podcast. She's the one on the right in the pictures. =)
