Yep, ah shore loves me some Con. I get so excited before the Con, and so bummed and empty when it's over. But by the time I get to a computer and try to blog all I've gone through in the previous days, I can't find the words or even clearly remember my feelings. There was something about a feeling of belonging, and the freedom of being as geeky as I want to be. There was something of the joy of meeting nice people, mixed with the frustration of being too much of a nutless introverted idiot to actually talk to any of them. Ooh, and Ali Larter. Let's not forget Ali Larter.
<save doc, then go away for a week>
Let's get busy already.
Childhood dream come true #17: Making friends with Sergio Aragones. Me and Sergio is real tight.
Q&A with Richard Hatch, Apollo in the original Galactica, Zarek in the new one.
You'll never guess who this is.
Give up? It's Elvira! I know!
Turns out the her real name is Cassandra Peterson, not Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (who would have believed?), and she appears to be a totally respectable person. How can this be? You used to be so, so, so prefect, and now you're telling me it wasn't your real hair? I feel so decieved. Just tell me you really did that thing with the tassels at the end of the movie.
What's hotter than an Elvira? A Linda Tran. Way hotter. I mean, he-llo there.
Not great shots, but I was too weak in the knees to ask her to look up for a photo, so I had to wait for a TV interviewer to stop by.
From the nice-people-who-played-small-parts-in-Star-Wars corner, I bring you:
Ray Park (Darth Maul, and also Toad from X-Men)
And Bonnie Piesse, who played (not yet Aunt) Beru in Attack of the Clones. Did I ever tell you how much the Beru and Owen thing pissed me off when I saw Clones? Well it thoroughly did. She seemed very nice, though.
The main actors from 300. I don't know if I'm really going to like it, but it looks like clean, thought-free fun.
Frank Miller broke his leg (or something) so he wasn't able to attend in person. He sent a video clip saying hello and hoping we'll like 300. So far, I hear everyone has, so maybe there's hope.
Gotta go read Marina's paper. Continue later.
