   Last July, while the Comic-Con was going on, I saw him at the   
   Dallas-Fort Worth airport waiting to board the same flight to Burbank   
   that I was.  I thought about asking him why he wasn't at Comic-Con, but   
   he looked like he didn't particularly want to be bothered (and I would   
   have felt bad if it turned out to be because he'd been at a relative's   
   funeral, or something like that).   
      
   Back in 2000, I saw him doing his stand-up act in the back room of a   
   diner in Hollywood, as part of the Frank Conniff-organized "Frank's Chop   
   House" comedy workshop...so he's previously acquainted with at least one   
   of the "MST3K" folks.   
      
   I was already planning to go to Comic-Con for the day on either Saturday   
   or Sunday; I'd love to attend this panel, but it being on Friday night,   
   it's a little hard to make the trip down from L.A. (and, more   
   importantly, back up to L.A.), especially since I don't have a place to   
   stay in San Diego.
