The convention is over, everyone is home, the convention center is one big empty building (well till the next one). Once again, it was a sea of people, endless waiting in lines, but overall, a TON of fun. Already looking forward to next year. I have my ticket and my hotel, I am ready.
Wednesday night was preview night. Time was, you could actually go onto the floor that night and actually preview items on the floor. Now it is like a Saturday, crowded, obnoxious and you can’t get close to any of the vendors. We all met up, had dinner, tried to wander the floor for a bit and then headed back to the hotel.
Thursday, up early, time to wait in line to get into the building so you can run to get in line to hopefully get into the room where you want to see your panel. They open the doors to the building at 7:00 am when you come in, only to then wait in line at the room where you want to be. If the panel starts at 10:00 am, the open the rooms at 9:00 so you can go in and sit down. On Thursday, I just kind of hung out and waiting for David, Virginia and Gigi to show up. They were signing that morning so I didn’t have to worry about waiting in line. I could just park it and read till they came. We were pretty busy on Thursday. I do love busy!!!
Friday, off to waiting in line again, just to get in……hung around and waited for the crew for another day of signing. It wasn’t quite as busy, lots of people wanting things signed for free. Fortunately, the only thing we have to sign for free is the program book. That worked pretty well. Then, back to the hotel to try and get rid of a really bad headache. Lots of noise!!!
Saturday……woowho!! I got to wait in line to get into ballroom 20. I had all day to kill before having to work at 3:00.
I was inside the building in line already, but this is another part of the line that extended outside the building and wrapped around the area a few times. The lines snake back and forth. Got to see the Chuck panel….it was awesome of course, but I still think last year’s opening was the best ever. This year was cute of course, but I don’t think it beat last year’s.
Isn’t he cute??


REALLY enjoyed the Chuck panel. And good God……Linda Hamilton as Chuck’s mom!!! Now that I am looking forward to! She will be awesome!
Then I saw the Family Guy panel. Loved that. Seth MacFarlane, what a hottie! LOL LOL
I truly think between him and Matt Groening, they have some of the best writing teams ever. Extremely brilliant writing of Family Guy and The Simpsons (and Futurama) respectively.

Here is the cast from Futurama. LOVELY!!!!
