Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun at Leaky. I just keep hearing about it and seeing videos. =) Good luck with your second book.

"Ah why Twitter, why are you being a snatchy, snatchy ho?" LOL!

[xGlowFliesx]

1. AHH! I wish I could have gone to Leakycon... However, I will be there in 2011. I have already convinced my parents that it is what I want for my graduation present [:

2. Can't wait for the tour! I'm just glad I'm going on the 19th so I wont have to wait the entire summer. I'll bring my book for you to sign [:

[pickles4muggles]

I agree about paul. lol. And you're right. you did have to be at leakycon to understand. I've never been to a con before so I don't know if its the same for other conferences. but leakycon really brought people together in an unexplainable way.

[seth009eg]

[mountiemaiden]

[kimmyblair]

I'm in butternut squash ravioli withdrawal right now... it's awful

[LiveLaughLovePotter]

I've been out of vlogs, myleaky, leaky, and nema for a week! AHH! I feel so excluded because I was away for a while! Stupid exams! I have more over the nxt two weeks :P

[McGiggles92]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, burn on Jersey. Well, I guess that's the New Yorker in you, Melissa.

[hopeonatenspeed]

bah. leakycon pretty much changed my life. will there be a box for that in the survey?

[hpmanders]

I think of Paul DeGeorge like pi his awesomeness / coolness keeps going and going.

[jaina824]

-'What's a NEMA?'

-'This!'

lol xD you're so cool and i really love your videos!

Can't wait for what's coming in June :)

[hpmanders]

NEMA means "No Edits in May Alright"

[Ravenclaw160]

Awesome!

[virgos4hp]

Melissa, you are awesome for about 1.1 million reasons that have nothing to do with me or the Leaky Staff...and as much as I love you and the Leaky staff, there is no way that we could every take credit for your awesome. Top 10 reasons Anelli rocks: 10) Ninja likes skills 9) Stands her ground 8) Drives and parks in NYC. Oy. 7) Amazing dancer 6) Wrote an effing book 5) Loves Broadway 4) Loves people 3) Makes killer guac 2) Has a huge and giving heart and 1) Is an amazing friend and great person!

[eruanna317]

Can I just say a huge AMEN to your praise of your staff? Every time I had a question, every time I spoke to somebody in a Leaky Staff shirt at all, even when I'm sure they were exhausted, they were always smiling and gracious and excited and so very helpful and fan-freaking-tastic! Leaky Staffers are totally Made of Awesome!

[nddulac]

Hate to break it to you, Melissa - but your awesomeness derives not from your staff, but from within. It is your desire to use your position in the fandom to empower others that identifies you as awesome. You rock - and we are all richer for your awesomeness.

[emmfan09]

"oh twitter why are you being a snatchy, snatchy ho?!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I can't wait for June's challenge and to see you on tour!!

[bibliophile4242]

I've loved all of these, Melissa. Keep vlogging! You're awesome. :)

[lvlyraindrops]

I love these.

*hugs and applause for all the Leaky staff* Thank you for making my life, and the lives of many others, more awesome.

[StrGrlOllie]

whats a nema?

[weasley1497]

a nema is something melissa made up. it is when you dont edit you videos in may. it stands for "no edits in may aight?" or something of the sort.

[StrGrlOllie]

oh. thanks :)

[RachaelF27]

LeakyCon was so amazing. Thanks for everything you did, Melissa!

2011 or bust.

[Starlysh]

"snatchy snatchy hoe" LOL ...oh, Twitter...

I love the Leaky staff. I'm so proud of the magical things they do and thankful for letting a nerd like me hang around them.

I like these NEMAs and taking questions from Twitter.

[fairydust831]

Your HaH event was excellent! The book itself was a phenomenal read but it was even better to hear you talk about it.

Oh, and seeing you dance with Hank (both times) was hilarious. LeakyCon rocked! Go Leaky Staff!

[holeysaintgeorge]

Oh Melissa, you rock :D

I can't wait for LeakyCon '11.

Quick question: Do you know when the locations for the tour will be announced? As in the actual places and times?

I plan on coming to the one in CA on July 16th. I'm so excited!!

[LifeAndArtNAngeltown]

Love your NEMA videos, Melissa! I'm also bringing my copy of the book so you can sign it in Dallas!

[ladysidi]

I love these types better too, it makes it easier for me to Vlog more as well. :D

[got2be13]

The Leaky Staff really was great! It's easy to see that they worked nonstop throughout the conference to make it as awesome as it was!

And The Harry, A History Q&A made my top moments too! When you teared up at the end Melissa I got pretty close to losing it too. :)

[jennangel543]

Oh, I am so bringing my copy of your book to the tour stop I'm coming to this summer. Yay!

Can't wait 'till 2011!

[lnh92]

i love these things. please keep making them.

[penguin112493]

Loved the video Melissa!

LeakyCon 2009 was probably indescribable, I agree and and looking forward to LeakyCon 2011 so much that I already have a countdown.

The staff was incredible, but you obviously know that, and LeakyCon was the best weekend of my life!

[LisaQuestauthor]

well, IMHO, staff can only be as awesome as the leaders of the merry band. So we are reflections of you guys.

Great NEMA, Mel. Miss you so much it hurts. Really.
