Image Of The Day: Wil Wheaton vs. Barney

This lovely image is in honor of tonight's EFF/CAFE fundraiser at the DNA Lounge featuring the real-life Wil Wheaton taking on Barney the Dinosaur (or an EFF lawyer dressed up like Barney). The stunt is based on an old on-line match-up between the two from years ago... I bet those guys never thought their little joke would get played out in real life, did they?

If you're reading this, it's probably already too late for you to go. Thanks to Pat (and a hard-earned $50 donation), I've got a VIP pass, Suckaz! Pat is, of course, the EFF's webmaster, and will be participating as one of Barney's Lawyers. I anticipate heckling the poor fool the whole way through.

The one thing that weirds me out is that I'll be hanging out with the other VIPs and the man, Wil Wheaton, himself. I'm not one of the huge Wesley Crusher detractors, but even if I were I wouldn't hold it against him, since he was just ACTING! But I'm also not sure how to act around celebrities. I tend to want to treat them like normal people, but they're at a disadvantage because I always know more about them than they know about me...

Anyway, enough with this dalliance. To the DNA Lounge at once!
