The weekend wrap-up, part 3

[agt_spooky]

And speaking of Gotham I met Bruce Wayne himself! David Mazouz was such a wonderful young man. It was a pleasure chatting with him. He was so pleased when I told him that I started watching Gotham for Bruce and Alfred's story and how impressed I've been with his performance. He also had his dog with him all weekend, walking him around the convention center with a Batman cape on the pup. :-)

Continuing on with Gotham, I met Penguin! Robin Lord Taylor is such a doll! Sweetest guy ever. Had a lovely chat with him. I had no idea that he went to college here in Chicago. I told him he was delightfully creepy as Penguin and he really laughed, said he took that as a compliment. :-) I asked him if his leg hurt walking like that and he said it's actually his other one, since he puts all the weight on it. But said it's worth it since he's having such a blast playing Penguin.

Here I am with Neal McDonough. Had a very nice chat with him at his autograph table. Told him I'd been a fan of his since Medical Investigations. He was really pleased by that! Then we talked about Damien Dhark and playing a bad guy and how it was so much more fun than playing a good guy. :-)

My last photo was with Katrina Law. She was so awesome and so freaking beautiful! She loved hearing that I thought Nyssa was such a strong female character. Then we talked about archery and how she learned it filming Spartacus first so she was well prepared for Arrow. She was so pleasant to talk to.

What I absolutely loved about the autograph experience was that everyone I went to just wanted to take their time and chat with you. They were all truly thankful for the fan support and made sure to tell us. They were all interested in what we thought of their shows and their characters. They just wanted to engage with us. And not only were they taking selfies with fans, but I saw several record video messages for people's friends who couldn't be there. How sweet is that? It was SUCH a contrast to the crappy Creation convention where they push you through the autograph lines and you get 0.5 seconds with each guest.

OH! And get this - take note Creation! This con did ten times the volume of photo ops that a single Creation con does - and the photos were ready IN 45 SECONDS! I kid you not. By the time you left the photo op room and walked down the hallway, the Celeb Photo Op people were literally standing there holding your photo for you. I was dumbfounded! And it takes freaking Creation four hours!

Next up…panel photos!
