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

Great pic! Was Corin looking really skinny? I saw him in something recently and even though I know film adds a few pounds, he was looking VERY skinny.

You'll have to write up a little bit more about the expo - theme, organizers, etc.

Glad to read that you are having a blast!

That is so cool you got to meet them, Nothing exciting like that every happens in AZ, when you want to go to a con you have to plan it and travel :( I totally want to get the Captain Jack and Doctor figures, They just don't have them in stores and online ordering is not my thing really.
