Guess who I got to hang out with today?

Yuppers, that is Mr. Corin Nemec. A friend of mine from the various Stargate conventions let me know about this tiny little expo type thing he was at out by us, so I met up with her today, had breakfast ($20 and like 45 minutes with Corin. Take that Creation!), hung out, got autographs. Also met Ernie Hudson, Horshack, Joanie (Erin Moran) and a crap load of other people. I've also joined the ranks of action figure owners. I picked up a Captain Jack and Doctor (Ten) figures. *facepalm* After it was all over, we went to the bar and hung out for a couple hours with them and Ari Lehman, the guy who played Jason Voorhees in the first Friday the 13th movie. He's pretty awesome.

This expo thing was so tiny. One small room, just tables set up around the perimeter. There was like, no PR. I doubt there were even 75 people there. It probably didn't help that the room had been triple booked that weekend so they had to be done at 2:00. Oopsy.

But, anyway, while we were there, it was brought up that Creation has their monster Star Trek/Star Wars/Battlestar con going on over in Rosemont and Corin expressed interest in going. So, Karen and I ran on over, found that Mama Duck was there. She talked to Adam for us. So, tomorrow, we're taking Corin over there as a surprise guest! Woohoo!! Only, at this point, Adam won't let him set up any kind of autograph table (boo!), but Corin thinks he can talk him into for a small percentage of the proceeds. Keep your fingers crossed that it works out!

So, that's been my day so far! How's yours? :D

If you use a SIM card you are on the GSM network. If you use Telestial it should be GSM. GSM actually means global system for mobile and is the most popular one in the world. That's why when you have a CDMA cell phone (like Verizon uses) you can't take it to many places out of the country (USA), basically only some parts of Canada and Mexico. CDMA means Code Division Multiple Access, basically it was created to utilize digital I believe (on that I may be incorrect) and I am going to shut up now as I sound like a giant geek. But yeah basically unless you are trapped in the US you should have GSM as it's what most international countries use.

Really! Cooooool.
I do use a SIM card, so there is hope - must go investigate!

If you get it and it works you have to try to remember to tell me about it.
