This is a lot of people. Most of them have beards.

I think Paul took this shot because he's not in it. I also think that most pirates are fictional. And, when you eat a sandwich, you should share.

Great meeting everyone.

motke says:: I'd like to thank the Academy for even considering me for this honor. To my mom, who carried me for 9 months so long ago. I'd like to thank the hundred and something people in this photo for standing still for a few moments. Oh oh, and i can't forget about Paul who put his very expensive camera in the hands of a child for a few moments to snap some photos. I'd also like to thank the bowling alley guy who kept talking over the intercom while we were trying to get interviews for the documentary. And finally, i have to thank Mackle for all that he did for this weekend, and for agreeing to be called "Mike" several times throughout this experience.
