I see. After I read your post I Googled her...LOL. I see. After I read your post I Googled her to see if something happened to her, and I saw a picture of her and my first reaction was, "Wow, she got old." Irony!<br /><br />Well, I guess it would be fun on some level to see all those people dressed up, though it always strikes me as kind of awkward.<br /><br />Did you get any sketches while you were there, or do you have to wait for them to be mailed? I remember you mentioning sketches a little while back.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-90452320854713867292011-06-19T01:44:37.100-05:002011-06-19T01:44:37.100-05:00Sorry Liss, but that was just a case of rude dude ...Sorry Liss, but that was just a case of rude dude evaluation. "Holding up" just means Sirtis is still attractive at 56. James Hampton was the dad in the first "Teen Wolf" movie. Sean Maher was the doctor on "Firefly/Serenity." Sam Trammell plays Sam the were-hound on "True Blood." Edward James Olmos is a major Latino star of the last thirty years, but may be best knows as Adama from the "Battlestar: Galactica" reboot.<br /><br />Cons are an experience. It really helps if a) you love haggling over back issues/toys/etc; b) you dig low grade celebrities enough to pay $20-40 for an autograph, c) you enjoy panel discussions, or d) you can appreciate the surreality on a sociological level. As a native Texan, eighty degrees isn't that big a deal, especially when you can leave the showroom to cooler areas like the lounge and panel rooms. I pity the guys trapped at booths to sweat quietly though, or relying on lunches involving $8 slices of pizza and $6 hotdogs. I must say I preferred the hallway artist's alley from last year, as it was more temperate and easily navigable. The halls are something like 50+ feet across, so there was plenty of room.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-63109939160863288782011-06-19T01:20:11.127-05:002011-06-19T01:20:11.127-05:00Crowded and 80-degrees doesn't sound like too ...Crowded and 80-degrees doesn't sound like too much fun. The more I think about it, the less fun cons sound.<br /><br />Are zombies still popular? I thought that had kinda died down. (Wow, I just realized that's a pun. A really, really bad one.)<br /><br />I have no idea who any of those celebrities are except Peter Mayhew and Marina Sirtis. Is she not well or something? I just saw she's going to be the voice of Queen Bee in Young Justice. I love it when disparate nerd universe connect in random ways.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-64745047534264746192011-06-19T00:39:43.716-05:002011-06-19T00:39:43.716-05:00Yeah, my father.

Still, I didn't look like a regular comic geek, which is what I always shoot for at these things. I'll save my comic shirts for being around normal people, so as not to belabor the obvious while amongst my tribesmen.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-81716856653997797482011-06-19T00:23:50.303-05:002011-06-19T00:23:50.303-05:00Did you dress up as anyone?Did you dress up as anyone?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
