Intermission Comic #6!

So many things to see at an event like Comic-Con! The pups get to meet their favorite characters. Do they live up to the hype?

Comic-Con is known to be one of the few events where you can actually mingle with the Stars -- if you're lucky enough! We haven't had any close-encounters type -- but Scott did manage to see some of the Star Trek: TNG cast signing autographs while I saw Nathan Fillion of Firefly/Captain Hammer-fame -- albeit briefly -- behind a booth with his sunglasses on... while we were separately running the gauntlet of the exhibit hall. D:

Have you bumped into anyone of special note at an event? (Or maybe not even an event?) Do tell! :D

    Oh the things you see at Comic Con. XD

    I ran into Andy Dick on a trip to San Fransisco when i was 17. My brother pointed him out and we were so surprised it was him. He was just waiting around outside a restaurant. He was really nice.

    I met Leslie Feist once. She's a nice lady. :)

    Do you guys ever make it out to New York Comic Con?

    • kitsy

      Not yet! They recently opened flights direct from Hawaii to JFK, so I won't say never to NYCC, but it's still a tough show for us to get to. ^^

      However I will be trying again for TCAF in 2013 -- but I'll likely be doing the show solo.

    hahahhahah

    I met the cast of Hawaii five obecause they shot a couple of scenes at my school and I was on the news team.

    At this most recent Comic Con, a co-worker pointed out that Seth Green was walking past our booth. I didn't realize it was him because 1) he was hiding his face under a hat and 2) I never realized how short he was. XD

    I also saw author John Scalzi mingling with a few of his friends/peers outside one of the hotels while I was on the way to dinner with a friend.

    My final encounter at SDCC was with Scott Pilgrim artist Bryan Lee O'Malley. I'd been trying to get his autograph but wasn't able to make it into any of the signings, but through a series of Tweets, he took the time to stop by our booth and he autographed and drew a sketch in a book of his that I had bought on Preview Night.

    I met Vonda McIntyre at InConJunction several years ago. I had read and enjoyed her novelization of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and told her so.

    I can't say I've met anyone too famous. I was able to see Frank DeLima in person (he gave several talks at my schools over the years) and "Uncle" Mufi at a Boy Scout anniversary dinner. I didn't realize he was that tall! Otherwise, no one really special outside of the 808. :/

    • kitsy

      That reminds me! I've seen Frank de Lima a couple times at Longs over the years. XD Also Paula Akana (from KITV) at Target.

        Oh nice xD Sorry, I have a horrible memory, and I don't want to sound like I'm bragging or anything D: But I think my family and I were on the same flight as Robi Kahakalau on our way to NY xD And I met Jake Shimabukuro once; my 3rd grade teacher somehow knows him personally and he came in to do ukulele for our class Christmas CD. He's an interesting guy. Almost got Weldon Kekauoha to play for my halau this year D: I blame Hawaii syndrome (where the "6 degrees of separation" is cut down to 3 at most)

    I was at a... Christian-y Concert where the entrance fee was $10 a person.

    and while there I took a group photo (twice, once by myself and second time with a friend with me) with Group 1 Crew, also at the end of the concert was Mercyme singing songs along with I can only Imagine! was an awesome night for the most part.
