So when i last left off Kath had swooned upon seeing Christopher Knight. So was she able to pull it together for the interview? You bet she did. She's a professional. She didn't even ask him about the brady bunch which i found cool. She did mention her crush on him as well. From there we interviewed his wife Adrienne Curry. She was not only hot but massively cool and geeky. She was wearing a wonder woman costume and the whole interview was her talking about other costumes and star wars. It was awesome. We even had our pic taken with the 2 of them. It was cool.
Speaking of the photo's--a shout out to Nickle for all the awesome pics she took at the con. She took pics of all the interviews and a lot of the costumes people were weaaring. Sh was much better than the douche at the everything to do about sex show and didnt even bash a microphone into my face. Thanks for a great job Nickle!
Interview number 5 was with Canada's own fan girl Liana K. You might remember a few months back i had blogged how she had joined our facebook group. She has a huge collection of action figures and comics and i talked to her about it, She's also all about dressing up for the conventions. This time she was dresses as Cheetara from the Thundercats. Awesome costume. It scarred Diana a bit. Nickle got a cool pic of us with Liana as well. It may have been my favorite interview of the day as it was my third and i was starting to lose the nervousness. Liana even inspired me to maybe dress in a costume next time out.
We scheduled an interview with Gail Simone the writer of Wonder Woman for 2:30. It was only about 11:30 at this point. We decided to do some shopping. We all ended up finding really cool stuff. Nickle found some cool Green Arrow t shirts and Rob found some trade paperbacks he had been looking for. Kath got a shirt and an action figure of Duff the cake maker of all things. As for me i found a super friends book for Diana that i had been searching for. I got it for 9 bucks--regular 16 bucks. Also got 2 atom trade paperbacks for 5 bucks a piece nornally 20 bucks each. I found some batman themed little cars for Diana as well.
Had a little lunch,took more pics and i even got interviewed for another dude's podcast. It was pretty cool. At 2:30 Kath did an awesome interview with Gail Simone and had her sign one of her wonder woman comics. Rob and i interviewed 3 guys dressed like the ghostbusters who have a ghost busters pod cast. Speaking of which Ernie Hudson was a guest at the con and was even dressed in his Ghostbusters costume.
THen something shitty happenned, Someone decided it would be funny to pull a fire alarm. Everybody had to evacuate into the hall way. While in the hall way we joked around with Gail Simone and we got our pictures taken for the wizard world facebook page. Well pictures of my back made it anyhow. Anyhow we eventually made it back in and did more shopping.
Unfortunately the day had to end. It was such a fantastic day. Jerry the promoter seemed to be impressed with us and wants us to come back next year--possibly for the whole weekend--and set up a booth as well. Man that would be massively cool. I may even go in costume. I can't wait. It was a really nice con. Everyone was really friendly and it wasnt too crowded. I just wanted to Thank Rob for setting everything up amd Jerry for being cool and getting us interviews and press passes. Thanks also to Nickle and of course Diana and Kath for making this one of the best days i ever had,
