I had an AMAZING weekend and I just want to point out a few highlights:
STAN LEE: Need I say more? I got to meet THE MAN. He is such a sweetheart and it was an honor to meet him.
Clark Gregg: This man is my new favorite person. We ended up missing most of his panel, but when we did come in we heard him talking about Rocket Raccoon who I was dressed as. Naturally I had to get in is autograph line wearing my costume. I wasn't going to wear it Sunday because I was so tired, but that was the only day we had set aside for autographs so I wore it just for him. When we got up to his line he said that he had seen me the day before and wanted so badly to get a picture with me. I wish he had!! I totally would have obliged, but I am going to assume that would have caused a huge crowd to gather. Just speaking with him made my entire weekend. He is so sweet and genuinely loves his fans. I can now say that I have met agent Coulson and we had a moment. Now every time I see him in movies/tv I will squeak with happiness over our moment, ha.
Marina Sirtis: Hands down one of the best experiences I had over the weekend. I am going to be honest I wasn't ever into Star Trek and only slowly started getting into it because my fiance is a trekkie (Star Wars was always my thing). I went with him to meet her and get an autograph because he was absolutely in love with her as a kid and I wanted to see his face light up when he met his childhood crush, because he got to experience that with me a few times in the past. Her line was completely gone by the time we got there and we were the last to meet her for the day. She asked us if we were a couple to which we replied yes, engaged. She then asked us about our wedding and it was just the best. I absolutely adore her and will never forget that moment. I think just because we can we will send her an invite.
All of the people ever: I had my picture taken about a million times whilst wearing Rocket, and I adore every single person I met while doing so. It was such a fun weekend and a much needed escape from the hectic real life I live.
Comics, yo! I ran out of money to buy stuff at the convention, but took note of some stuff I want to read. My first purchase is going to be the new Rocket Raccoon by Skottie Young and Jake Parker. I actually got to meet Jake Parker (And used the last of my money to buy a print from him) and he took a picture of me at his booth! I was pretty excited about that.
There is much more to tell, but it's late and I have a million things to do tomorrow. To all the people who I met: Thanks for making the weekend great. See ya next year!!
