Well i have to tell you about one of the greatest days i ever had. Saturday Kath and Rob and Nickle and i went down to the wizard world comic convention in Toronto. There's a lot to tell so i will probably split it into a few blogs.
We went and covered it for the show and it was amazing. Rob had been in contact with a man by the name Jerry. Jerry was massively cool and got us press passes to get into the con. Real badges! I wore mine proudly. What did this mean for us? Well for starters it got all of us in for free! THey were also cool about Diana getting in for free as well. Also we didn't have to wait in line either--because we were press we got to walk right in. We were also granted access to the press/celebrity green room. I have to tell ya i kinda felt like a celebrity. It was an awesome feeling.
We had put through a request for interviews beforehand that at the time of arrival hadnt been answered. Rob being the awesome producer he is lined up our first interview--Erin Gray from Buck Rogers and Silver Spoons fame. She was really nice and still beautiful. I couldnt believe she was 60. She certainly didnt look it.
Anyhow i had the task of talking to her. Lets be clear--i was extremely nervous. Here was a woman i had a crush on when i was a kid and besides a bad interview with some klingons,this was going to be first official interview ever. So we began the interview and it went well. I actually mentioned my crush and asked if she got to ride the big silver spoons train. I thought i was being clever but i guess she gets asked that all the time. Rob and Kath said i did a great job. Gil Gerrard who played Buck Rogers was sitting next to her but we didnt ask for an interview.
Next up we spoke with an actor by the name of David Peck Richmond. Now i hadnt prepared any questions for the guy it was kind of a last minute request. He's on the new V series which is a remake of the 80's classic.He'd also appeared on some stargate episodes. He seemed like a cool dude. Rob helped me out with some questions. It went pretty smooth. Then we decided to go speak with Jerry to see what we could do about other interviews. Thats when we first got to hang out in the press room. On the way there i say a really gorgeous woman in a wonder woman costume. I didn't realize it was Adrianne Curry the wife of Christopher Knight aka Peter Brady on The Brady Bunch. Speaking of which we noticed he was walking behind her. Now a bit of history--Kath had a huge crush on him growing up. As soon as she saw him she started to hyper ventilate and began to cry. It was kind of sweet actually. Even after seeing this i was expecting her to go interview him. How did she do? Stay tuned for part 2 same geek time same geek channel!
