ivyficCrazy-insane New York Comic Con just days away! Could there be any more celebrities going? They've got Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), Ray Park, Daniel Logan (Boba Fett), Nicholas Brendan and the actresses who played Kendra and Drusilla, half the cast of BSG plus your usual array of comic book stars (Stan Lee, Greg Rucka, Paul Dini) plus Stephen King... It's going to be a mad house. I usually avoid the celebrities at these things because I want to avoid the fans who flock around celebrities, but that may not be possible.
I was going to do a whole post asking if anyone else is coming and telling those who wanted to come to buy their ticket NOW, but apparently, Saturday has sold out so it's a moot point. If you are going and, like me, could not find the programming schedule on the website, it's here. Hopefully they won't pull the same sort of things they did last year and tell you when you show up that you needed to have gotten a special ticket for X panel and it's too late now. Whatever. It will be exhausting, wacky fun. If you are going, let me know and I'll keep an eye out.
As a totally random aside—I hate celebrity Q&A's. Why? Because the people interviewing the celebs are my fellow fans, and they usually have fewer interviewing skills than your average NPR intern. The fans who ask questions in Q&A's generally have not done any research at all, ask questions to which the answers will be short/boring, and broach subjects that these people would only discuss in the sanctity of their therapist's office. It is excruciating for me to sit through one of these, even if it means I could get the celebrity to answer my very own question and thereby validate my existence!!!! /end rant
I have very little work and a huge freelance deadline looming. Can't you tell by the frequency of my posting?
