Is anyone going to MegaCon in Orlando?

[Bryanjs14]

i'll be there!

[pinksamstar]

  sounds big and amazing wish i wasnt so english sometimes.....

[Poisn*iv]

I'll be there and be set up! I'm hoping to have a decent inventory of cards to sell, as I can't get that many done while helping out with my boyfriends table (my full-time job).  If anyone wants something specific, let me know and I'll be glad to do it here at home and bring it with me to the con!

[Kelly]

I'll be looking you up on artist alley!
Here's one of the pieces I'll be getting Jamie Bamber to sign.  Look closely.    I wish I could say it was my idea, but I saw another one that some guy had posted online.

HA!!! Very cool Kelly!!!! 

[Kelly]

I'm back and I had a BALL!!!!    Details to follow as soon as I can get my kids to settle down.  I'll need plenty of time to rehash all the details!!  I'm still starstruck!  Pictures to come. 

[Kelly]

Here we go!  Please indulge me on this long post.  My husband, parents and 99.9% of my friends have no idea why I like this stuff.    I took my 7 year old daughter Jordan and we went for a couple hours on Friday and all day Saturday.  In addition to the celebrities, I also got to meet the wonderful and talented Allison Sohn, and the also wonderful and talented Mike Duron.  Sketch card scans will be posted soon.    Jordan and I also did a paint and take mini sculpture thing that was offered in the anime section.  That was fun. 
Here's a bunch of superheroes in the lobby.  Who is the guy doing the split?  Wonderman?

About 1/2 of MegaCon from above.

We weren't allowed to take any pictures of Mary McDonnall (Pres. Roslin from BSG), so here's a picture of her.    She was very nice and looked GREAT!  Just like how she looks on TV.

My favorite hobbit, Sean Astin!  He was so cool.  I LOVE HIM!  Now I wish I had made a Samwise pony.

Cutie! 

An Ent!  This guy was huge.  He was walking on short stilts.

Me in a half smile  and Jamie Bamber (Apollo from BSG).  He was terrific and talked to my daughter and me while he signed.  He said the photoshopped picture I had him sign was brilliant and he kept holding it up and looking at it!  I didn't realize I grabbed him around the waist like that! 

Here you go Capt. Jack fans!

Me and Darth Vader!  He was huge!  He had the altered voice and all.

Here's the guy that was inside the robot from Lost In Space.  I can't remember his name. 

Here's what Jordan wanted to watch all day.  It's a battling arena where people could fight with foam swords and stuff.  I bought her a sword, but she wouldn't fight me in the arena. 

Lou Ferrigno signing my Hulk pony!    How old is he now, pushing 60 or more?  He looked great and his bicepts are still super huge!  I asked him to sign in silver, but he didn't hear me (cause he's deaf  ) and he signed in blue.  But that's ok, it still looks good.

So that's it!  We saw lot's more stuff, but I don't want to get boring with the details.

Wonderful pictures Kelly, it looks like you both had an amazing time  .  You will have to check out who is going to SD and get that pony making factory running 

[Roz]

Awesome

Here we go!  Please indulge me on this long post.  My husband, parents and 99.9% of my friends have no idea why I like this stuff. 

Ahh join the club lass 99% of us are in denial no no, I'm kidding, it's a strange but fun world

My favorite hobbit, Sean Astin!  He was so cool.  I LOVE HIM!  Now I wish I had made a Samwise pony.

Ahh, you could have made him a Bill with 'ring' icon.

[Nienna]

Excellent!! EXCELLENT!! 
Fab pictures Kelly and thanks for sharing them!! 
Looks like you NEED to make a Samwise pony to take along to the next event Sean's scheduled to appear at - or a Bill-with-One Ring-MLP as Roz suggested - could you imagine the look on his face seeing that and being asked to sign it for you!!! 
Or how about all the Fellowship done as MLP's!? 

Don't worry about others not understanding the fascination you have for this stuff either - it's what keeps the brain young and active that counts isn't it?!

My husband, parents and 99.9% of my friends have no idea why I like this stuff.   

*raises hand* I may belong to this 99.9% club!!

Who is the guy doing the split?  Wonderman?

I'm not quite sure, but I don't ever remember superheros doing stuff like that!!! 

We weren't allowed to take any pictures of Mary McDonnall (Pres. Roslin from BSG), so here's a picture of her.   

  Awesome!!! So sneaky!

I didn't realize I grabbed him around the waist like that! 

SUUUUURE you didn't!!! 

Here you go Capt. Jack fans!

  Were you thinking of us? 

It's a battling arena where people could fight with foam swords and stuff.  I bought her a sword, but she wouldn't fight me in the arena. 

WOW!!! I think I...I mean my boys  ...could have been there all day!!! 
(did they have light sabers?  )

Lou Ferrigno signing my Hulk pony!    How old is he now, pushing 60 or more?  He looked great and his bicepts are still super huge!  I asked him to sign in silver, but he didn't hear me (cause he's deaf  ) and he signed in blue.  But that's ok, it still looks good.

This is so cool!!! He still looks great!!

So that's it!  We saw lot's more stuff, but I don't want to get boring with the details. 

BORING!!! No way!!! I see these pics and now I know I have to make it to a CON!!!!
I am so glad you had a great encounter with Sean!!! 
It looks like a fantastic time!!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!! 

[Bryanjs14]

pretty sure I am wrong but maybe Quicksilver?

Sean Astin is wearing the EXACT SAME shirt I am wearing that this moment.
Glad you had a good time! Shame we could not get anything worked out for FX or this one lol.

Are you doing SDCC?

[Kelly]

Yes, I'll be at SDCC, and this time all by my lonesome.    I'll leave hubby and kids at the hotel so they can do other stuff.  I would like to meet as many Yak Shackers as possible!

[ocdlotr]

Thanks!
