The weekend wrap-up, part 1

[agt_spooky]

I want to apologize now for getting ready to spam your flist with a zillion pictures. But I had an AMAZING weekend and wanted to share the evidence with all of you. :-)

I went to the Heroes and Villains Fan Fest here in Chicago on Saturday and Sunday. It's a brand new convention put on by the folks who do Walker Stalker Con. This one featured guests from Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Gotham and Heroes Reborn. I was ridiculously excited for this because I've never met any of these actors. I splurged and bought the Gold VIP pass and OMG, it was the best money I've ever spent at a convention! It got me in an hour and a half early, which allowed me to get 6 out of 7 autographs I wanted right off the bat. Then for the rest of the day I was walked to the front of the line for any other autographs I wanted and also to the front of the line for all my photo ops. I mean, it took me 10 minutes to get Stephen Amell's autograph and his line was hours long! Then I also got to sit in the first 4 rows for all the panels and I could keep my seat all weekend. Which meant I got some great pictures. I was very impressed by this con in general. I think it was well run, it was very well attended and the guests were having a blast, so I hope they come back again next year!

So without further ado, I thought I'd start with my photo ops….

OMG, the Green Arrow hugged me! LOL! Look at Stephen's smile! SQUEE! He's freaking GORGEOUS. And so very sweet. In his autograph line I told him I had my first curling lesson and he said that was one more than he'd ever had! And he's Canadian! LOL! He shook my hand, said it was nice to meet me and said he hoped my bruises would heal soon. Ha!

Next up was Robbie Amell. OMG, he is SO freaking handsome! For his autograp I brought a I Want To Believe poster from X-Files for him to sign. We had such a wonderful chat about XF. He told me this hysterical story about the first name of his character being Kyd - which happens to be David Duchovny's son's name. Chris Carter did it as a joke and didn't tell David. When "Agent Miller" hands Mulder his business card, David did a total double take at seeing Kyd and then refused to give the business card back when they needed to do the scene again! Ha!

I adore this pic of me and Colin Donnell! At his autograph table we chatted about poor Tommy Merlyn and that I was excited that he's here in Chicago now filming Chicago Med. He was just the sweetest guy.

Photo ops part two, coming up next….

Oh, I'm glad to hear you had a good time. And your photo ops look great! Sarah was there, working the con, did you see her?

The con was fabulous! I forgot to mention that even though Stephen Amell’s autograph line was huge, he personalized everyone’s. Funny how Creation refuses to let Jensen and Jared do that and there’s a third of the amount of people in line in comparison. Jerks. Weird thing is, I could swear I saw Adam from Creation there, like scouting out the competition. I saw him twice. I hope he’s shaking in his boots. He’s not the only game in town anymore.

No, I didn’t see her! But the convention center is enormous and there had to be at least a hundred Heroes people working. Did she have a good time? What was her “duty”?
