I'm not so much into the comic book thing. But, I love to take pictures. And Mr S. can be. Into the comic book thing, I mean. I would have preferred FanimeCon. But, that is much later in the year. Wondercon did sound like a fantastic picture taking opportunity. And, if the place wouldn't have been so packed it could have been really enjoyable.
It started out pretty good. Soon however, I started suffering from battery problems. So instead of taking multiple shots I was reduced to one offs. Which sucked. The people were packed so tightly I'm suprised I was even able to see Adam Baldwin.
At one point I ran into this massive line. I heard "whisper whisper whisper - Carry Fisher".
Me - Mr S! Is Carry Fisher here?
Him - I don't know.
I made my way to the front of the line, and sure enough. Carry fisher was there.
I didn't get a great shot, so I had to make my way up again. But, this time Mr S. had taken up a position in the back. The line was ridiculous. After braving the line again and making my way back to him I said "Mr S.! Who's this guy"?
I know readers. It's okay. I'm not so bright. I'm pretty sure at that very moment Mr S. died inside. Yes. I didn't recognise Mark Hamill.
AAAAA!!!! ADAM BALDWIN!!!!!!AAAA!!!

Can I come and live with you?!?!?
Time is cruel.
ReplyDeleteMDG - It would actually make it so I didn't have to go the post office.
ReplyDeleteKeyser - Cruel yes. Some people age better than others though. After about 20 attempts at trying to get a flattering shot of CF - I just gave up.
You know the even crueler (??) comparison?
ReplyDeleteErin Moran side by side with Scott Baio. I know, I hae an unhealthy fixation on Scot Baio.
Mark Hamill never looked the same after Ep. IV, when he got into that accident at the end of filming.
I shall put away my Geekopedia now.
That is really funny. Just yesterday was was asking Mr S. "why does Mark Hamill look so bumpy"! I get the whole age stuff. But, he is positively cottage cheesy. Aren't there some lasers that can fix that?
ReplyDeleteAnyway - he went on to speculate about the accident he was in. Which I was fascinated he knew about.
