Dallas Comic & Sci-Fi Convention This Weekend!!! [05 Apr 2008|12:29am]
Comic & Sci-Fi Convention This Weekend!!!

This weekend my favorite convention guys (Ben and Mark of the Dallas Comic Con) are hosting an amazing convention this weekend (April 5th-6th) at the Richardson Convention Center. If you've never heard of SciFiExpo or DallasComicCon you've missed out. These guys are SO much better than Creation or anyone else. You get a lot of bang-for-your-buck here, so if you're interested, I highly recommend checking them out this weekend.

It's the Dallas Comic Con 11 and info is here:
Dallas Comic Con 11 and SciFi Expo

It's only $10 general admission Sat and $5 Sun! (More money for the dealer room :) )

They have a huge selection of toys, comics, autographs, and everything else you'd expect. I always see a good assortment in the dealer room and they like to bargain :)


Here's the guest list:

Media Guests:
Christina Hendricks - Saffron in Firefly
Kandyse McClure - Lt. Dualla in Battlestar Galactica
Jeremy Bulloch - Boba Fett in Star Wars (Receiving his very own FAN-MADE ESB costume courtesy of The Dented Helmet)
Cindy Morgan - Yori in Tron
John Wesley Shipp - star of The Flash (Sunday only)
James Hampton - Harold Howard In Teen Wolf
and more!



Comic Guests:
Bob McLeod - NEW MUTANTS
Eric Basaldua - WITCHBLADE
Joe Benitez - MAGDALENA
Tom Morgan - IRON MAN
Kerry Gammill - SUPERMAN
Brian Denham - NOVA
James O'Barr - THE CROW
Plus Too Many More Too Mention!




In addition to general admission they also have speedpasses for $20 which gets you in for both days, gets you priority seating at the Q&A's, and gets you in line in front of general admission for most media and comic guests, so if you want to commission a sketch or get autographs fast, a speedpass is a great way to guarantee you'll get one :)

It looks like all comic guests sign your stuff free and media guests charge about $20-$25 to sign stuff. The media guests usually have a good assortment of photos to choose from if you don't have something to bring them.


Check out their website for all the info, but here are more details I scrounged up:

When: April 5th-6th, 2008
Sat. 11am-6pm
Sun. 12pm-4pm

Where: Richardson Convention Center
411 W Arapaho Rd
Richardson, TX 75080

Darn it, someone read my journal so now it has to get better! [11 Jan 2006|07:49pm]
[ mood | content ]

Classes started again Monday...this semester looks really good :) I'll have to start bringing my lunch again because the idiots in the cafe screwed up my order again! I threw this one in the trash next to the register just like all the others they messed up...I don't pay for lousy service from anyone, I just go hungry :(

So, while I was sitting at a table some guy asked if he could sit down. That area is usually packed which makes it hard to find a seat so I said "sure, whatever". Then I looked up and instantly regretted the statement. Not only was this guy a dirty, cross-eyed, dumb individual (based on the inevitible conversation), but there were seats galore elsewhere! So I just sat their reading my book and he started talking. I ignored him (being very polite considering what was going through my head). Then he starts asking for my name and other things and I finally say, "Look, I said you could sit down, I didn't say I wanted to talk to you." He apologized and left.

I should wear a sign that says "I don't talk to strangers" ;)

Anyway, that's the story of my life today.

Today's lesson:
I'm very picky in the people that I associate with and I'm very happy with the fact that I can count my friends on one hand :)
