I think he meant "guest" as in "invited by the convention organizers to be part of the program."

Al at AlCon was just a lovely surprise.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Al only a surprise guest at one of the ALCONs?

I thought at least one of them people knew he was coming.

Yes, that is correct, Marissa. He was a surprise guest at AlCon I, but people *well, most people, except Kevin Cable, apparently* knew he was coming to AlCon III.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

No Dr. Demento did instead. Al was touring and couldn't make it.

Botcon clips are popping up on YouTube:

At the autograph sessions, Al gives a shout out to some guy, at 3:43

And, finally, the panel! Well, bits of it.

Al is such a sweethearted man. I love watching him interact with fans. Even when I don't happen to be one of them at the time.

David Kaye (whoever he is) seems like a great guy too.
