So, in about ten days I'll be heading down to Rosemont, IL to attend Chicago Comic-Con, where I will once again be nerding it up. In addition to hunting down collectibles and trades, there are also a number of celebrity(ish) guests that I'd love to meet.
For the past month or two, there was one in particular that I'd do just about anything to get a picture with (including paying the $100-200 fee to do so). That person was Sir Patrick Stewart. Unfortunately, he has been removed from all of the guests lists and there was a note of apology from the third-party company (pretty much a party planner for conventions) saying that anyone who bought the picture package could get a refund (thank goodness I hadn't, 'cause I don't want to know how hard that would've been to actually make good on the refund).
So...yeah. I'm a bit less enthusiastic for the convention now, since that had really gotten my hopes up for how awesome it was going to be. Now...meh. I'm still looking forward to it, but it isn't like, "oh my god oh my god oh my god" fanboyish excitedness any more.
Still, I want to get a baseball signed by Avery Brooks (and whoever else I can get from Star Trek), because I'd just find that awesome.
