Yes, I had the stuffed elephant. Picked him up at Heathrow in 2005, as we decided to do the insanity of London-NYC-Indianapolis for GenCon.
It wasn't in character. We had a RIF at work, so my last day was Friday, and mnemex had a Conflikt with Dreamation -- that is, he'd committed to Conflikt, the west coast filking convention that we didn't realize was the same weekend -- so I figured I wanted something to coddle, and all of my Cthulhu stuffies hadn't figured out which one of them should do Dreamation, so I brought the elephant. Just as well -- my bags were full to begin with, and then I added more food and got a couple of small-but-heavy presents from work.
I meant to make your 10 am demo if I were conscious on Sunday, but I so wasn't.
