Do we have any participants who will be attending the Melbourne Australia Oz Comic Con this weekend? If so, please post any photos of RDA or other narratives of the events here. If not, whoever finds any information online, please post that here. Thank you!

Here is a snippet from RDA at the Oz Comic Con LAST YEAR - 2013 - very brief:

I hope we will get a video from the Oz Comic Con of this year somehow.

Also - just while we are waiting for the Oz Comic Con of 2014 information/video - here is a playback (again) of the
Phoenix Comicon Video for 2014 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zJIdCQnHe8

I have watched this video several times. It is priceless. RDA is totally adorable! The great thing is that it is a LONG video - and RDA is all by himself on stage. He is just so funny!

Oh, wow, I just woke up to this message from RDA, sent about an hour ago:
Well, this is something ! Three hours out, over the Pacific Ocean, a main water pipe snapped and gushed 70% of ALL water on board, down the galley wall, creating a raging river that ran the length of the BRAND NEW A-380-600 Air Bus, forcing the plane to turn around and return to Los Angeles... Which is where I am now. Qantas is putting us up in a hotel until our replacement flight takes off later tonight from LAX, arriving Melbourne very early, Aussie time.
One word: OMG !!!
As I'm typing this at just this moment, the story appeared on Good Morning America.

I'll be adding this to the front of the website as soon as I'm fully awake.

Holding my breath for an uneventful remainder of the trip!

Ugh, if you're scared of flying, something like this will really help ;)

I've never flown on one of those double decker planes but the 747s and 777s are big boys enough for me. I can't even see anything online about this so we heard it first here on the RDA forum :D

Edit: found some stuff... couple of others going to the comic con tweeted about it.

I promise you that once people find out that RDA was on board, there's going to be a whole bunch of MacGyver references :lol:

Let them begin!

OMG indeed .

I've never been afraid of flying so far but when you hear this...it makes you think.

It was very kind of him to send a note about it (at least he's safe).

Thanks for sharing Kate.

I keep my fingers crossed , hoping everything will be all right this time.
