I got the scoop from event organizers and found out that Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) were very close to attending the convention.
Turns out the storyline regarding Angela's cat is actually based on Fischer. Her cat is very sick at the moment and she couldn't leave it for the weekend. In a world of diva's and callous stars, it's really sweet to learn the reason behind Fischer's absence is her devotion and love for a household pet.
On the Krasinski front, unfortunately he was called to New York to re-shoot scenes from his upcoming movie Leatherheads, in which he'll co-star with George Clooney and Renee Zellweger
As great as the convention has been, Krasinski probably made the right career move. Can't imagine a conversation informing Clooney you're blowing him off would end too well.
