Here is what I did today.
I went to Knoxville TN to another convention but this time it was inside, which made things better and about a third of the people was there that was at Dukes Fest. The first thing we did was head to the lines. I got the autograph of Kenny Baker, he's the one that plays R2-D2. He is small and didn't seem too happy about being there but I got what I wanted.
From his I got in Robert Englund line. He was pretty cool with everyone. He was letting us get a pic as he signed the stuff and did different things as he did. Like one guy he did that tongue thing of his that he does as Freddy and one guy he drew a face. I had a poster I got from the screening of Jason vs. Freddy that I got and he signed it sleep kills. The thing that got me was his hand. I shook it and I got to tell you for a guy that plays a whacko he had the softest hand I've ever felt. It's not I was expecting him to have this rough manly man kind of hand but I didn't figure he would have one that's even softer than a girls.
The people there was Robert Englund, Kenny Baker, Lou Ferigno( and that dude is just huge, I was watching him sign things and thought he had big arms but then this one guy that was pretty big himself and you could tell right off that he lifts weights asked if he could get a pic of them flexing together, when Lou walked up and flexed his arms it was like a basketball had all of a sudden been put under his skin, I was then afraid to take a pic cause maybe the flash would freak him out and he would come running out and beat me into a little white pile of nothing).
John Rhys Davies was there, he's the guy that played Gimly in Lord of the Rings and was on Sliders as the Professor and in Indiana Jones, he's the bearded guy. Adam West was also there but I didn't have the money to get something of his, he was too expensive for my taste and my wallet. But that's about it for the stars. I only got R2 and Freddy's autograph but I really like the Freddy one. Now all I got to do is figure out a way to get the guy that played Jason to sign it.
Some of the people from the 501'st was there. I got some pics of them and got one with me standing next to Boba Fett. I also got some stickers for my car, which are Boba Fetts head, his symbol that's on his chest, the skull on his shoulder, and the Superman S. I also got 2 Harley Quinn figures and then walked around for about an hour seeing the things that I would love to have but just didn't have the cash for.
At any rate, that was my day, driving from 5am till 10am, standing in lines and walking around from then until 2pm and then driving again from 2 till little after 7. Now it's time for food. When I get the pics I'll post a few so all can see.

Ok, sorry it took so long but I just got the cards with the pics and hate it but some of them didn't make it, a lot in fact. Something was acting up with the camera and it didn't save all of them but was able to salvage these. Enjoy.

It's still a bit early for the day of this convention but I'm now so freaking stoked about it. This year so far they will have 2 Star Wars guys. One is Peter Mayhew aka Chewbacca and the reason why I'm stoked, Jeremy Bulloch. Yes that's right none other than Boba Fett himself is going to be there and you can bet your sweet bibby (not sure what a bibby is or a sweet one at that but it fits here) that I will be in that line finally getting the pic that I've held onto for years signed.
There are a few other cool people that will be there but for now these are the reasons I will be there. Can't wait to see what others will be there by the time it happens. Damn wouldn't it be cool to have more of the Star Wars cast be there.

You can check out my pics by just going to them. I don't have mine set up to where you have to be on my list. Anyone can look at them. Plus I have a photobucket account with them up but not really sure how you do the search to find them. Look for interngooch on it and if that don't work look for PICT0368.jpg and that might take you to them.

Yes she was very nice and very cool. I was there for 2 days, the first as part of a crew to get a interview with her and the second just to get more autographes and to see her as much as I could. But she would take pics with you if you asked her and every time she saw me taking a pic of her she would give me some crazy face. Plus the girl that I went with on the second day got her pic taken with Rosario with her nearly hugging her. The girl asked if she could have a pic with her and Rosairo was like sure, then she jumped up and on the table and pulled the girl over and had the pic taken. We then went back a second time about 2 hours later that day and she remembered the girl and started talking to her about the shirt she was wearing, which was a Rocky Horror Picture shirt. This is some of what was said, I really love your shirt, if I wasn't wearing just this one I would trade you for it, and then the girl told her that she really didn't care if she had to walk around in her bra if Rosairo Dawson wanted her shirt she would give it to her, though as much as I would have liked that to have happened, it didn't. But then went on to talk about how each of them loved the movie and what parts they liked about it, while me I just got to stand there and stare. Also, while there I met her uncle, grandmother, and grandfarther. It was a great weekend for but also a very bad one, but the bad part I will not get into here.
