[PRIME] PAX Puppetry!

After the astounding popularity of the Fallout 3 puppets handed out during last years PAX (see video below for reference), I was just wondering who else intended to bring these magnificent works of craftsmanship and beauty to PAX this year, so the many entertainers can bask in the glory of these beautiful creatures.
In lieu of a DS, I was going to bring my puppet to wave around during the concerts and the Omegathon finals. If I have any puppet-wearing brothers or sisters out there, let me know what you're doing during PAX, so we can astonish this convention with our puppety goodness.
There was a thread about this earlier in the year. I believe the general consensus was that:
A. What made last year's "puppet show" so special was it's spontaneity and trying to force that again this year probably wouldn't be as fun.
B. While no one will frown upon the return of the Vaultboy puppets it would probably be best to let this year's memes grow organically.

note: i won't punch them really. just some of be upset and whiny and be all depressed later
Bring your puppet, but don't expect an epic puppet dance like last year. Something different, brilliant and entirely unplanned will happen.
Indeed, although I'm trying to remember if an epic, spontaneous event happened in '07.
'06 of course saw the birth of Ball.
'08 had the Pip-Boy dance ensemble.
What did '07 have and what will '09 bring?

Ah yes, I had blocked the nVidia contest out of my mind.
Although that seemed like work, with people making spreadsheets and DBs tracking all the numbers.
