Spooky Empire - Day 3
I debated whether to make a post for Sunday, or just dump it at the end of my Saturday post. But I love my one celeb photo I took so much I needed to see it as a post on the main page lol. I did not need any more autographs, but I decided to pop back in to the con one last time. Mostly just to see friends and say my goodbyes. Towards the end of the VIP hour, Brad Dourif had no line. I saw that my friend Shaun was right next to him, and Connie was standing at Fiona's tabl

Spooky Empire - Day 2
With all of the headliners out of the way, I didn't feel my usual pressure to be first in line on day 2. With that being said, the idea of just strolling down later and joining a huge line just doesn't work for me. That just isn't how I'm wired. So I still woke up around 6:30am. I immediately got dressed and headed towards the con. The plan was to stake out a spot in line, and then leave for a bit to take a shower (you're welcome) and grab my stuff. It worked perfectly, as I

Spooky Empire - Day 1
I arrived at the Doubletree in Orlando at around 2pm. Front desk staff was super nice. They upgraded me to a giant suite. The space was great, but the room could use a refresh.

I ordered some Giordano's pizza, and then spent the rest of the day just hanging out in the lobby, watching the celebrities check in. Saw lots of my con friends. Ran into Connie and Shawn, two of my absolute f

Texas Frightmare Weekend - Day 3
"I'm not even supposed to be here today!" Sorry for the non-horror reference, but it's true! I was supposed to fly home very early Sunday morning. It was a dumb plan that had no chance of actually happening. So I moved my flight to 4pm. Which gave me time to go back to TFW one last time to tie up a few loose ends. Mostly, I wanted to get my "Jigsaw" mini poster that I forgot on Saturday signed. So once again, I got up insanely early, showered (you're welcome), and headed

Texas Frightmare Weekend - Day 2
I got there obscenely early on Saturday, and was once again first in the VIP line. But not by much. My buddy (he'd probably say adversary) Jake showed up not long after I did. And boy, was he not happy that I beat him there lol. Many people arrived earlier than they otherwise might have because of Emma Roberts. She only did one day, and the VIP window to get her was first thing in the morning. The con announced they'd be letting VIPs in early, at 9:15am, to get Ms. Robe
