Some Jellyneo staff members headed down to sunny Los Angeles for a brief summer vacation. (We finally met each other in real life!) The itinerary included Disneyland, learning SCIENCE, playing awesome board games, and of course, a special stop at Neopets! jnCon Attendees: Dave, Illy, Nynex, Kataklysmos, Polemarch, Rosie, and Spixi.
A Tour of Neopets Headquarters
Dragona acted as our official photographer. Because of privacy and legal reasons, some things have been obscured. Overall, it was a wonderful day! A big thank you to The Neopets Team for letting us visit!
The banner on the wall of the reception area. It makes us squee every time!
We're wearing special t-shirts, designed by Rosie.
The tour is spiced up with a scavenger hunt. Dave has to get Dirigibles' autograph.
The reason Mr. Insane is insane? He lost his marbles!
Snarkie and Comastar see what Cupcake is drawing.
Jimmy James' red stapler needs to be returned to him.

Rosie: On screen!
Snarkie gives us a demo of their new Facebook game, Treasure Keepers.
Snarkie: So, what do you think?
Polemarch: It's good, but could use 30% more blur.
Lunchtime!
We get ready for a brain storm hurricane.
...It turns out to be more of a meatier shower.
Question and answer period... (we're really shy :P).
