Yes, yes! Even if promo pics he has this awkward shyness about him. He's still shy, but able to overcome it better. I talked to a Creation Con rep once and she said she escorted Joe to one of those 'breakfast' things included for gold ticket holder and she said he pressed himself again the wall and said, "that is a lot of people."

(They're expected to talk to each group at the tables and I bet that's a huge difference from those small meet and greets and talking on stage)

He's never done a gold pass breakfast since at cons.
