I’ve been a little offbeat all my life. The girl with the combat boots, the girl who loves vampires, the girl with that tattoo on her lip, the girl with the crazy colored hair – all me.
My interests go anywhere from shoes to zombies, Zelda to James Dean. When I started dating Tony I was opened up to a world where I could love all of these things, and then some, in public and with other people.
Tony introduced me to the world of conventions. Wizard World Philadelphia, Video Game Expo Philly, Horror-Con – we frequent these every chance we get. This year is the second year that I’ll be attending Wizard World and, let me tell you, I’m overwhelmed.
At the first Wizard World I got a taste of celebrity when I acted like a dumbfounded fool upon meeting Emma Caulfield, better known to Buffy fans as Anya. I like to consider that a practice run for what would happen months later at Horror-Con: my meeting with the crush/love/I-want-to-have-your-babies man of my dreams, James Marsters. (better known to Buffy fans as Spike).
This year’s Wizard World is packed to the brim with people I’m dying to meet. James will be there, as will a bevy of people that are icons in the kingdom of nerds.
Shall we?
Ernie Hudson, of Ghostbuster fame, as Winston Zeddemore.
Mmm, my favorite Baldwin, Stephen. I dunno which I'd consider more of a classic: Biodome or The Usual Suspects.
Many Batmans have come and gone, but none are so awesome as Adam West. POW! SMASH!
Bruce Campbell. Two words for you: Evil. Dead. I dunno, I've always had an awkward crush on this guy.
And the mother of them all:
Guys. Come on. It's Captain Jean-Luc Picard. And if THAT doesn't get your blood pumping, let's have a little chat about Charles Xavier aka Professor X.
Needless to say, my camera will be at the ready at all times and my Twitter will be going crazy this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
I'm also on the hunt for the dude who dressed up as Thor last year. Wicked costume and I need a picture with him to place beside the ones of me with Spiderman and Wonder Woman.
