Dan and I realized we underestimated our fame when we pulled up to the Panera Bread - a line was straight out the door and extended all the way down the shopping center parking lot. We decided to to call out to everyone to follow us to the nearby mall foodcourt, where there would be enough seating for everyone. Before we could even get to the mall, however, police circled the large mob and asked us to please disperse as we did not have a permit to assemble there.

Ok, that's not what really happened. Dan and I sat down at Panera Bread with our soup & sandwiches, ate, and left. No one showed up during the 25 minutes we were there. Experiment over. :)

Well al be damned

Then I got here it's ok Tom we all love you guys but I'm not hopping on a plain so I can eat with you two for 25 minutes that would be over the line of fan and deep into the realm of stalker.

I thought surely bend would have arrived and requested a thumbs up picture

Come on a plane to Liverpool, then there will be at least one fan to see you. :P

The problem is you are internationally famous so only a small percentage of NG users would be in the postion to go. Cut that percentage with by the number who only attend the site for the movies and games and that's a very small number.

Damnit that's cuz it takes a long time to get from MI to PA! I would have been there man! You should have waited!!!
j/k although it would be so VERY awesome to meet THE Tom Fulp! You are... how should I say this... an internet god. :)

I would've expected at least a few people to show up. I wonder if anyone showed up after you left.

heh im pretty lots of people wanted to go... *cough* Illinois *cough*

No stalker? *refer to sig*

Make a picture of you two guys please.

Well, you did only give everyone a half hour. =p

what?! nobody showed up?! if i was in america i would come, maybe tell the people a little bit sooner about it and they will have the time......

Damn, that's sad, if I would live in Philly, I would escape my house jumping from the window just to go there.
Good luck next time man! Fulp Fiction 0__0

awww.....poor tom. i would have come but until i can afford a flight or become fit enough to swim 3,000 miles i'm stuck here in England.

Just one hour?

It'd take you longer than that. Especially with all the makeup.

aww :( No <3 for Tom. Bend was probably there, but he's used to having windows between him and his victims.

Poor Tom, maybe everyone is terrified by your prescence and just stayed at a short distance. You and Dan could always fly over to England and I'd take you guys for a McDonalds :P
But seriously...what if someone wanted to kill you and you posted your whereabouts and time you'd be there....my god....the BBC could finally have their revenge for you using their teletubbies!!!
Just think, they keep saying to the press that something is being sorted about it (or at least, they used to say) maybe they've been waiting.
Nah...fuck that.

I bet more people would have come, or actually, people would have come, if you planed it like a few days before or something. Maybe a week. More people would come then. Specially if you plan that on holiday season.

Hey Tom and Dan, I was there, remember?

Yes, Pico was bodyguardin´ Tom, so we don't want a massacre to occur.

i totally would have been there, but i didn't see that it was happening until just now. i only live an hour away. Give a little more notice and i'll be there.
