So it turns out it wasn't a Comic Con at all . . .

My mom's been to DragonCon. She got a picture taken with Nathan Fillion. She went back the next day and he was walking by going somewhere, and he remembered her name. They chatted for 10 or so minutes according to her.

I've never been to a Comic or Sci-fi convention. Went to a Star Trek convention in the 80s but I was a kid and it didn't have a lasting impression.

From what I've heard about Fillion, listening to other actors talk about him on commentaries, he's a huge people person so it's likely he did remember her and chat for awhile.  He was probably rushed or he would have taken her out for coffee.

I've only been to one other convention -- a Star Trek convention when I was a teenager.  Considering how long ago that was, it must have been one of the first conventions.  Anyway, since I didn't have a car I convinced my Dad to take me and the poor man had to put up with about 4 hrs of non-stop geek talk from me.  I wish I'd appreciated at the time his good-natured patience!  Still, it wasn't all bad for him -- we both enjoyed listening to Harlan Ellison read his short story "Jeffty is Five", and then there was the costume contest where one woman came out in a long cloak, then threw it off to walk down the runway stark naked.  Don't see that everyday.

When I worked at Universal Studios Orlando in 1996, I ran into Gilbert Gottfried, and we spoke half an hour. I mean he was walking by, I said " Hey Iago" and he replied, "I hate crackers." and then we spoke in a longer conversation. Funnily enough, I ran into him later that day again and we came up to each other and said similarly, "You almost got me fired." People around us thought it was a skit, and clapped.

Oh...the good ol' days.

As some of you might remember I went to the Mecca of Nerdery in 2014.  Sadly I can't find the thread full of pictures from San Diego Comic Con. Probably lost in the great crash.
Met a lot of great people there...




One week later we went to Las Vegas right as the Star Trek convention was under way. Can't brag about meeting a lot of famous people, but I did meet Max Grodénchik and Aron Eisenberg from "Deep Space 9" and Natalia Nogulich who played Admiral Nechayev in "The Next Generation". Much nicer in person then on screen.

I remember that, didn't you meet some forum members as well along the way?  And who is the girl in the black supposed to be again?

Excellent post Sandy. Sweetdeath will swoon!

Then my work here is done!

I've sent her a message at fb

We did swing by Denver to drink Ali under the table. 

And I can't remember who the girl in black was supposed to be.

What is Blizzcon -- does it take place somewhere cold?

Ha! You'd think so, right?

It's Blizzard's convention (yes, they have their own), and it sells out really fast. Usually held in Anaheim, CA.

The new suicide squad harley quinn is absolute trash, so don't worry about even knowing her. They rebooted the character and made her into a complete slut and it's awful. I mean, that outfit screams "I'm in a porn." And a lot of comic book nerds now love to glorify the abusive relationship between her and the Joker like it's cute or something.

I enjoyed the photos and glad you had fun! The Zoolander cosplayer was my favorite. I will always love HQ from Batman: The Animated series the most.  <3 I hope one day to visit you and attend one of these cons.

See, she'd be one of the people at a con I couldn't tell was cosplaying or not -- that might well be the way she dresses everyday.  The girl dressed in leaves it's a pretty good bet she's playing a role.

I'll have to ask some friends about that one -- he's into World of Warcraft, and she's into dragons.  I'll bet they've gone to one or two.

Yeah, he was Teresa's favorite too, and the only character I saw from that movie.  Lots of Deadpool there (including one wearing only the mask, a shower cap and towel), whom I initially mistook for Spiderman tho I did wonder why they were wearing swords.

Might be wrong, but maybe Death from Sandman?

Might be on to something here.

Poison Ivy. A famous Batman villain.
