GenCon/JadeCon

[fenchurch]

Another fun and exhausting day.

We hit the floor of GenCon this morning and covered almost all of it (we may go back tomorrow to finish it off). Bought lots of GURPS books (they were only $5 and we didn't own them already, how could we resist?), some Dork Tower books, the Dork Tower board game, and a really cool dagger.

And then, we got to meet and get autographs from Dean Haglund and Ron Glass!! Dean Haglund was pushing his comedy show pretty hard, but seemed like a fairly nice guy... but Ron Glass was chatty and was having a very hard time not spoiling people around us for "Serenity." (And no, we weren't trying to trip him up or anything, in fact, he started to blurt stuff out and stopped himself when he realized his handler/assistant was cringing back from potential spoilerness. Heh.)

Had one fun and very odd thing happen out on the convention floor, that I'm way too exhausted currently to write about it in a way it deserves... and I'm only mentioning it vaguely now so that I'll remember to write it later.

Dean Haglund!!! ::pouts with jealousy:: I've been desperately bidding on eBay for "The Lone Gunmen" dvds, but with little success, but I'm going to keep trying. ::note to self - must get some Lone Gunmen icons::

I saw Dean Haglund last year at Dragon*Con (and had my cell phone ring while he was talking--my boss!--and got teased by him about it). He was extremely nice. And we went to see his one-man "Whose Line is it Anyway" show, which was absolutely hysterical. He one one of the highlights of that trip. :)

When are you getting in to D*C this year?

I'm not entirely sure, since I'm at the mercy of nmissi's work schedule... I'm staying with her for the next few weeks, and we're driving over together. I suspect we'll be getting there on the 2nd, though.
