thought they did. It was laughable at times and annoying during others. “I think we may be having an intervention here soon Dan.”
    “What we intervenning?” he asked.
    I just lowered my head. “You realize that dictionaries, en masse, commit suicide when you speak?”
    That got a chuckle out of Jason and Wayne. Dan was nonplussed about the whole thing. “I’m just saying bro, you got this leadership thing. We follow your lead.”
    It was about that time that one of the AltCon assistants approached our group to give us our next exercise. “Gentlemen, in this project we will have a set of Legos set up here on the desk. You will pick a leader from your group.” All eyes turned toward me. I just shook my head to say no.
    “What else happens in this project?” Wayne asked.
    “I’m afraid that the rules of this project state that the details may only be given out after the leader has been chosen,” the attendant responded.
    Everyone looked around. I was shocked when Jason volunteered. “Fine, I’ll do it but I’m not happy about it. Just saying.”
    The rules were then given out. The leader was to be entirely hands off. He could not leave his seat, nor touch any of the Legos. One of the team members would be entirely responsible for building the project and the other two were to act as the eyes. In the other room was a Lego model that the two remaining members would examine. They couldn’t bring anything with them into the room to look at the model. Only their eyes and their memory. Back at our table was paper to use to document what the others learned. Also, only one of them could go at a time.
    “Ok guys, I have a really shitty memory, so I think it would be best if I do the building. I’m not saying I will, that is Jason’s choice,” I offered up to get the ball rolling.
    Jason appeared fine with this and said, “before we do anything I want Dan and Wayne to go into the other room and look at what they see and come back and tell me.”
    Wayne left first and was gone for about a minute. When he came back he looked really distraught. “It’s a castle, made out of Legos. But it isn’t symmetrical and there are windows but not on the same levels or in the same places on all sides. It’s really messed up. This could take forever.”
    As soon as Wayne returned, Dan got up and went into the other room. Wayne had returned with urgency. Dan was sauntering. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, there was a time limit to get this project completed.
    “Easy peasy brosef. Let me know when you want to start the build,” Dan said.
    We all just stared at Dan. His mellow outlook on life, and his use of horrible English, had not changed. “Just like that?” Jason asked.
    “Yeah dude, I have a photographic memory.”
    Every one of us, to include the assistant monitoring us, had to pick their jaws up off the ground. “Dan, remember when I said how there were other skills we all had, and you didn’t think you brought anything to the table?”
    “Yup.”
    “Well a photographic memory is definitely something that you can bring to the table!” I almost yelled.
    “Dude, I thought you meant like fighting and shit. I mean, I watch beaucoup kung-fu but I didn’t think that was relevant.”
    I smacked my forehead. Repeatedly. “All right, let’s get to the build then.”
    “No,” said Jason.
    We all turned to look at him. It wasn’t a meek “no” either. He said it with some authority.
    “Dan you walked around the castle?”
    “Sure did,” Dan replied.
    “And Wayne, you did the same?”
    “Yeah Jay, I looked at it from all sides.”
    “Please don’t call me Jay. The problem I see here is that we didn’t look at the whole thing. Only part of it.”
    The three of us looked equally confused. With Dan’s photographic memory I figured this to be a cinch. I was missing something though, and my earlier discussion about others being involved came to the front of my mind. I wanted Jason to walk us through
