Hey man! Glad you made it home ok.
About Grimm, this guy is something else. He is the only pre Samurai Empire Dev that I know of. He is a bit of UO history walking on two legs.
My wife and I shared a breakfast with him not knowing his connection with Ultima Online other than he was an attendee. He was personable, funny with a razor sharp wit, passionate about UO, and knowledgeable as hell.
He REEKED of mainstream normal, even tempered, well balenced, socialized, working guy. In fact all the dev's that I met were way more mainstream than I expected.
The attendees were the ones that you had to watch for (some more than others) but the dev's, especially Grimm, were cool as hell.
