Emerald City Comicon 2009

[Jen]

I want him to sign my ****s.

Helo or Mignola? I wonder if Helo would mind if I grabbed him and kissed him during the photo op. I'd probably be arrested for assault.....

So no other NW freaks going? What's up with that?!?! I feel so alone out here.

 

[GrueSam]

I'll be with you in spirit, Jen.

might go just to check it out..

might go just to check it out..

If you live nearby, you gotta go. I wish there were more conventions near me more often. I go whenever there is a con or a toyshow in town or within a 1-2 hour drive, and usually go solo because my friends aren't into this sort of stuff. I still have a blast e3very time though.

 

[mr.thrifty]

I've never been to one...maybe that's the reason for my reluctance..

 

[Jen]

Well I got my 2 Hellboy Library Edition books signed by Mignola....AND talked with the Battlestar Galactica guys (Saul Tigh, Helo, Chief Tyrol)...they were so HOT and so sweet and friendly....and gracious...I just wanted to kiss them. Got my picture taken with all three of them.....that's was cool. I normally NEVER do anything like that...but I couldn't resist.....they were just so damn cool and I'm bummed the show is over.
Some guy (world's fastest caricature champion) drew my caricature while I was waiting in line for Mignola.....go some Watchmen stuff...talked to Adam Hughes a bit....and that was about it. Had a lot going on that day, so was only able to stay for a few hours...but had a great time while I was there.

It was a "professional" 8x10 pic....I gotta take it to work tomorrow and scan it so I can post it. Tomorrow I may be able to take a pic of it...but I'll need to wait until morning when it's sunny and I won't need a flash.

I look like a silly grinning fool.....but the guys look hot.

Very cool, Jen! I would have loved to meet Mignola. Did you pick up the Hellboy print?

Was anyone else from BSG there?

Nope, that was it for BSG. .....the guy that played Darth Maul and is Snake Eyes in the GI Joe movie was there...as well as Jewell (don't remember her last name) she played the ship's mechanic in Firefly and Serenity and is on some current Sci-Fi show. And Noel Neill who played Lois Lane in The Adventures of Superman tv series.

There were people dressed up like Chewie, Boba Fett and other SW characters....but those were just convention goers.

 

[Darth Madden]

Dang, sounds like fun. I am for sure going next year.

Not to preach but they weren't just any convention goers but the 501st Legion. Proceeds from photo shoots with Darth and the gang go to Children's Hospital which is a huge and integral part of that organization's charter in giving back to the community.

Hmmmmmm......they people I saw dressed in SW gears weren't doing the photo shoots....just letting fans take random photos for free. Maybe I saw something different.
I did read that the "professional" photo booth had proceeds going to charity, which I thought was great.

And speaking of pics....here's me with the BSG guys and my autograph of Helo.

 

[GrueSam]

What a great pic of you, Jen, with all your men...

 

[Darth Madden]

So anyone going this year? I didn't realize it was coming up so quick (3/13.) I keep saying every year that I want to go so it might be worth going this year.. and I can get Stan Lees autograph.
