Commence the fangirling!
Aug. 21st, 2010 12:14 amHey, anyone want to get up close and personal with William Shatner? By which I mean sit in the second row at the Wizard World Chicago Comic Con tomorrow. There will be a bunch of righteous guests there; the onstage stars include James Marsters, Linda Hamilton, Michael Biehn, Avery Brooks, Adam West & Burt Ward, Brent Spiner, John De Lancie, four out of the final five BSG Cylons, Walter Koenig, and that Shatner fellow. Three of us were supposed to go, but one had to cancel due to a death in the family, so we've got an extra reserved seat and admission ticket. They'd normally go for $110 total, but we're desperate to get rid of them, so name your price. Lemme know by tomorrow morning or something if you're interested.
Seeing as it's a Comic Con, there will also be a ton of comic creators there. This necessitated my digging through my comic book archives to emerge triumphant with numbers 1-2 (original issues, mind you) of "The Crow" to be signed by J. O'Barr, "Elektra Assassin" and a few "New Mutants" for Bill Sienkiewicz, and Sandman #40 for Jill Thompson. With all the crap I had piled on top, and with the dog attempting to hide under my feet from the thunderstorms, it took an hour. But still...go me! I'm pondering getting Linda Hamilton to sign a "Beauty and the Beast" comic book as well.
I'll also have a SGA cast photo for Paul McGillion to sign - Stargate represent! I'm still disappointed that Patrick Stewart had to cancel - three Captains, one stage! - but I think I'll get over it.
The last time I went to the Chicago Comic Con was when I was 7 months pregnant with the Emperor. I did it as a day trip, up and back from Champaign to Rosemont - I can't imagine doing that now. (Well, technically we are, but I'm neither driving nor pregnant this time, so we're all good.) Joss Whedon was presenting a clip from his Big Damn Movie, and Amber Benson was appearing as well. I coincidentally met up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
michaeldthomas and rarelylynne after we'd lost touch for years, so it was a fortuitous gathering all around. (Amber Benson liked my Cure T-shirt! *swoon*)
Now to bed, and early rising. Woo-hoo!
