Were Rabbit jumps all over everybody at the Annies. Big night for UK power house Nick Park and Steve Box. It was a clean sweep for Curse of the Were Rabbit



Annette O`Neil, Coordinator of Volunteers and Annie mainstay.



Bill Plympton and John Canemaker (the New York boys and front runner in the Short Animation category. Plymptoons The Fan and The Flower took the honors)



Jon Reeves, long time ASIFA volunteer wearing plaid tie



Gretchen Dixon, the lady that makes it all happen. Gretchen has been event planner for the Annie Awards for a number of years and she makes it all happen. Great show and very good job well done.



Corny Cole with some of his students. We would need a really wide lens to get all of his current students in the picture and I don`t think the Alex is big enough to fit all the students he has taught.



Patrick Warburton, voice actor, actor, nice guy.



Ed Gonnzalez and Margaret Kerry (Tinker Bell) Ed is the director of this year`s video shoot and Margaret is a director of ASIFA-Hollywood and everone`s sweetheart.



Some same strange guy hanging with the birds and I don`t mean Brad. Brad Bird was here but I didn`t get to talk to him this year.



Kevin Alteri (Batman, Rat Bastard, Gen 13, etc.) and friends. Kevin and I use to set next to each other at the Kubert School when both of us had a lot more hair and both of us were sure that we knew a whole lot more than we do today.



Dori Littell Herrick (Chair of Woodbury University Animation Program) and Jack Bosson also of Woodbury with Pam Thompson looking on.



Mike Mallory, Annie Award Director



Not sure who this guy is? The acceptance speech went as planned. At the last minute I decided to leave out the call for Comic Con volunteers. I almost stepped on Bill Shatner on the way to the stage. He was just getting back in his seat after coming from the stage.





Larry Loc, Dan Lund and Tony West. I love Dream on Silly
Dreamer. It is a very important work that looks at an important time in animation in a very fair way. As we left the stage I bottonholed Dan and Tony to get them to bring Dreamer to Comic Con.  ¶ 12:14 AM
