Since I got yelled at for not mentioning the FX con earlier last year, here's the heads up for the 2007 one. Orlando, January 26-28. Guests include Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars), Sam Anderson (Lost, Angel), Gary Busey, the sheriff and the daughter from Eureka, Peter Graves, the woman who played Kendra the Vampire Slayer, and (wait for it) Ron Glass, "Book" from Firefly.
Since Glass is the only star I've haven't gotten to sign my movie poster, I think it is safe to say I wil be there.
The FX con is a busy and a crowded one, with several dealer rooms, gaming, and a no-wait system for autograph lines (usually). I recommend it but only if you can deal with crowds. Details! Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I will consider going, and post in this thread if we decide to go.
Sounds like fun. Posted by Lisa (Member # 8384) on :
Gary Busey plays a sheriff and a daughter on Eureka?
And who is Sam Anderson? [Edit: Oh, Holland Manners. Got it]
Also, am I a traitor to the Browncoat cause if Ron Glass will always be Harris to me, rather than Book?

This just makes me jealous!

No Summer Glau. Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
Those prices are not bad at all. Do they include autographs, or are there hidden extras?
Which day(s) are you going? I don't see myself going all three days, but I might be interested in going one day.

Hmmm, I'm thinking I might go too. I'll be in Florida anyway....
Posted by Chris Bridges (Member # 1138) on :
Autographs are separate, and vary from person to person. Last year Firefly stars went for $25 per autograph, either on the 8x10's they provided (5 to choose from each) or on whatever you bring with you to be signed. But while this will depend on the celeb, most will take a moment to talk to you, will pose for pictures with you, and generally seem glad to be there. Also a huge creator's section for comic artists, a gaming section, and lots and lots of stuff for sale. No panels that I saw (none last time, either).
Last year I went Saturday and Sunday, prolly the same this time.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
I might be able to swing Sunday, but Sat is out for me.
I will see once we get closer to the time., but I would love to go and I am sure Jenni would as well. Posted by plaid (Member # 2393) on :

Woo! Just like Soylent Cola!
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Just met a guy who wants to go. I don't know him well, but I told him about it and he is in, perhaps for Sunday. Posted by Chris Bridges (Member # 1138) on :
Woot! Adam "Jayne" Baldwin and Christina "Saffron" Hendricks will be there! Also, Andy "Lorne" Hallett (from Angel), Zachary "Sylar" Quinto from Heroes, William "Greatest American Hero" Katt...
This is shaping up to be a huge deal. I'm gonna spend so much money on autographs...

Just talked to Icky today. Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
Oh wow. I'd so be there if I didn't have school and didn't live in the NE. I doubt I'd spend the money on autographs, but would they also charge for pictures?
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
OK, I found this thread again....is anyone (other than me) planning on going to this?
I am thinking Sunday myself, although it is far enough out that I could probably work out a Sat....maybe.
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
Okay, it's not the same weekend. Like I said, we'd be up for one of the days.
And you know Chris is going to go, so don't be silly and say that it's just you. Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Anyone else? Icky and I are shooting for Sunday, I think.
Posted by Chris Bridges (Member # 1138) on :
I'll be there probably Saturday and Sunday, depending, with both boys.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Cool, I will let you know for sure once I make my weekly schedules.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
So...Sat or Sunday?
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
I've been working on babysitting. Just got it lined up for tomorrow. Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
OK, Sat it is. Anyone else for Sat for sure??
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
OK, if you want to meet up, contact me at kweasr AT gmail DOT com. Leave a phone number, or tell me where to email my cell#.
We will be meeting Icky and Cor at about 10 am at the front, and both couples will have their cells on. Posted by Chris Bridges (Member # 1138) on :
At the moment, I have no idea when we'll be there. Should be early, but we have some last-minute errands to run on the way so we'll see. I've got Ic's number, I do believe.
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Cool...send me an email and I will reply with my cell# as a backup, if you want.
I'd hate to miss meeting up because we didn't have each others #. Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Sorry we missed you, Chris...my phone was a little wonky in there, and Icky didn't hear his half the time.
It was fun, although expensive.
Posted by Chris Bridges (Member # 1138) on :
Expensive it definitely was, but fun was had. I never heard Ic's call, but then he didn't hear my return call so we're even
Just posted a review of the day's events, including the crew's responses to their Barbie duplicates...
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Saffron had a.....wardrobe malfunction....when Icky was talking to Jayne.
Life is good.
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
Sorry we missed each other, Chris.
