THE OFFICE CONVENTION
Go there now 
When: October 26-28, 2007
Where: Scranton, PA
What: The site reads: “Think of it like a Star Trek convention but with nerds wearing Dwight Schrute glasses instead of Spock ears.”
There are other features, too, which will expand as the convention date grows closer.
I have a homework assignment for you, LITO readers. Who was in Scranton today? Please send me a full report, complete with pictures if possible! Bonus points: Explain this picture of BB and AK.

All I know is that was taken at Cooper’s, the local seafood place that has been mentioned a few times on the show.
I went to the Mall to get autographs, they were no awesome, but it was packed! I got in line around 11, they got there around 1:30. I got an autograph around 3:15. And they were scheduled to leave at 4. But I left before they did. They seemed to really like Scranton, and were really excited about the Convention.

Well, I wasn’t in Scranton today, but I lived there for a few years and Brian and Angela are wearing a hat from the hat rack that is located at the gift shop’s entrance at Coooper’s Seafood House. It’s only the best seafood restaurant EVER and where Kevin suggested they go for their last lunch together before their branch was going to close. Angela shot him down with an, “I don’t like seafood.”

On the night before Brian and Angela appeared at the events in Scranton, they went on a tour of local landmarks:Poor Richard’s Pub, The Bog, Farley’s and Coopers-where this picture was taken. Rumor is they were out until 3:00am.

The hats are the lobster hats that Cooper’s gives you on your birthday. Better than the hat is the free dinner you get on your b-day too!

Hey, guys, glad those of you who could make it to the events yesterday had a good time! Brian and Angela absolutely loved Cooper’s, and the staff really enjoyed their visit. As we were leaving, Brian and Angela were presented with the lobster hats and took a few in-character photos. The two of them are a blast. We’re going to do everything we can to make sure the convention in the fall is going to be awesome, so keep your eyes on the convention site!
We’ll be posting more photos from Saturday’s rooftop party and more later today or tomorrow. Thanks again to all who came!

Cooper’s is also the place Jim asked Filipelli to meet him after her first work day in Scranton.
Angela and Kevin, er Brian were terrific. They couldn’t have been nicer or more pleasant. I told Angela that in real life she is the anti-Angela. Everybody loved them, especially when they would slide into character.

John Webster, Rock107, Scranton here…had the chance to party with Angela and Brian Friday night. They were genuinely thrilled to be in “The Electric City”. We hit Poor Richards, Cooper’s, Farley’s, and The Bog. (They LOVED The Bog, put it on your list of places you have to visit if you’re coming for the convention.)

We loved having Brian and Angela at Cooper’s! Hopefully they will be coming back soon! The crab hats are a staple at Cooper’s! Also we have some good shots of them by our lighthouse and in our “Whale Room”.
