Fan Expo 2014 – Day 4
by Last day of the con and had to pack up before we could go. This went well, and we still made it there before 1030, dropping right into the line up for Elijah Wood’s signing. And I got a lovely little sound bite. We also lined up for John Dimaggio, who, among many other things, is the voice of Jake the Dog on Adventure Time. I thought I got sound there, too, but my Zoom appears to have eaten it for the first time ever. More likely, I screwed up with the buttons. Missed the MLP panel, but spent time gaming with my son instead and found something we…

Fan Expo 2014 Day 3
by A few more photos, but not as many as there might have been with my son and I in costume. A crowded day, but a good one, mostly. But I’ll get to that. Late to the con this morning due to how much time we spent on makeup. Hulk Hogan, who arrived a little late but spent a lot of time and care on his responses. Most of the Q&A was wrestling based, surprise, surprise. Managed to meet Garrik Hagon, who might be known best to geeks for playing Bigs Darklighter in the original Star Wars movie, but has almost 150 credits to his name. Nice fellow. Very personable.…

Fan Expo Day 2
by More photos today, but it seems like I spent more time standing in line while I was at it. Fan Expo a little more crowded today. A few backups in the transit tube giving us a taste of what’s in store tomorrow. Ed Greenwood, who started his panel early (ten minutes before his moderator even got there), ran until they kicked us out of the room. The Dynamic Duo, Adam West and Burt Ward, were fun on stage together, but weren’t on stage nearly long enough. Less than forty minutes, in fact, and I wonder if there are health issues we’re not aware of. Hope everything is fine there.…

Fan Expo 2014 Day 1
by Didn’t take a lot of photos today, but I’ll probably make up for that tomorrow. So after having to wait an extra hour for our hotel room to be ready, we proceeded to have the worst underground parking lot experience of our lives. Four interconnected buildings (or maybe three?) each with their own P1, P2, and P3 levels, and each labelled identically. Signs and arrows that pointed everywhere, some of which were only for pedestrians but most of which were actually completely unlabelled and meaningless. Doors that only opened in one direction. Dead ends that appeared out of nowhere. But the con, when we finally got there, wasn’t too…
