22:50:02 leeeisenberg: it’s more visual
22:50:03 officeisms1978: lol, rich little
22:50:19 leeeisenberg: it involves saying “really” over and over again
22:50:30 tanster: omigod
22:50:33 leeeisenberg: which is not visual
22:50:40 officeisms1978: lol
22:50:56 casinodundie: What are you able to do in your free time when not on the picket lines?
22:51:28 tanster: this should be good
22:51:51 leeeisenberg: i’ve been working out (which is not something i had time to do during the season), i’ve been catching up with old friends, and writing a short film that rainn’s going to star in
22:52:08 leeeisenberg: (gene’s been doing the same except for catching up with old friends)
22:52:23 casinodundie: Where would we find this short film when you guys are done?
22:52:46 lemonade: Are you guys buff now? You might need to buy clothes that fits.
22:52:58 leeeisenberg: we’ll hold a press conference as soon as it’s in the can
22:53:48 updog: lee, what were your true feelings about the Scranton convention? Was it what you were expecting, and what, if anything would you like to see different about a convention if one were to happen again next year
22:54:17 tanster: (time check) it’s almost 8pm, so we’ll do a few more questions to wrap up …
22:54:52 leeeisenberg: it was great! it was much more than we were expecting. it was really well-organized, everybody was so friendly… it was a great town. gene: everybody loves being valued.
22:55:11 tanster: you guys were treated like ROCK STARS
22:55:20 leeeisenberg: yeah, it was insane
22:55:26 leeeisenberg: So many escalades
22:55:26 Mexicanity: and you are (valued), more than we can share!!

22:57:10 leeeisenberg: it really means a lot to know that the fans are so supportive.
22:57:21 leeeisenberg: it sucks for everyone that we’re not able to make new episodes, believe me.
22:57:28 TwirlingGrace: IS there anything else we fans can do to help you guys?
22:57:57 casinodundie: Not watching the reality show replacements shouldn’t be a problem
22:58:51 leeeisenberg: writing letters to the networks is always helpful, but hopefully common sense will prevail
