Visitation 2002
Well, Visitation 2002 has come and gone. But the photographer in the picture at left (who insists he is NOT cute *g*) has a gallery of lovely images for you to enjoy!
Photo of Bob the "cute" camera-guy by Donna Berghaus

- Kira comforts Mirrani, who comforts
Kira the Furry Sloth at the Nanites Dinner Party at the Marriott.
- Here's a candid shot of Kira The Sloth, just hangin' around...
- Hillary's really on her toes in this convention: here's a closeup of
her ballet toe-shoes.
- The "scene of the crime": Nana signs a photo.
- Here's a four-picture collage of
Nana
at Slanted Fedora - Durham 2002 - the two at right is during the Q&A after receiving the
Tomoko-inspired world-famous "AM I CUTE?" T-shirt!
- Nana begs to ask: AM I CUTE??? ;=)
But Wait... Here's More!
Photos - Nanites Meeting with Nana in Durham, NC - October 13, 2002
Legend (L-R, from top row down):
- Carina listens intently during the club meeting...
- ...And so does Sue and Donna, video-recording the meeting for posterity.
- Kira shares a laugh.
- It appears I'm not the only photographer at the meeting:
Inge gets her shots in as well...
- Surprise! It was also
Sue's birthday. Happy Birthday, Sue!
- Another "scene of the crime": A few left-over
CHICAGO paddles somehow made it into the room.
- Mirrani received from Yours Truly a framed set of photos (from the New York City
convention this past March) as a gift for all the wonderful work they have done in putting
these Visitations together. This
two-photo image shows Nana signing the frame (as did everyone else at the meeting). *g* Funny how the picture of Nana in the frame isn't glared out...
- Nana appears to be asking: This is nice - what is it?? ;=) Actually, this is a
decorative wine-bottle holder she received from Sue as a gift (thanks to Mirrani for the info).
Someone should slap me for calling it a "brake shoe"... *g*
- Can we ever get through a club meeting without
Nana mugging for the camera?? (Actually, I asked her to give me "one for the newsletter"... Carol, I hope this shot makes it!)
- OK, everyone, the secret's out - here's the real reason Nana quit Dark Angel:
Nana wants her fans (and agent) to know that she
"Will Work For Chocolate"! (bumper-sticker courtesy of Mirrani) ;=)
- The final two scans are both 4-photo collages of Nana's many moods and expressions as
captured during our own private Q&A with her during the meeting, and I'm pleased as
punch that Nana has tolerated my presence to this point. *g* In the
first set, Nana goes through the motions expressing certain details about Kira, Roxie, Madame X, Andy Griffith & the like. The rightmost image has Nana speaking to Nanite
Stephanie on Mirrani's cellphone (we missed ya!). The
second set was shot at a different angle using a window-curtain as a backdrop.
Two of the above images in this collection are included.
