I was there in NJ in 2004. I might have even seen you! I took the picture for the table that

That was my first con. That is the one where MS was late to the breakfast and it was rushed with the photo ops and everything. AND they cut into TR's time which was awful. I missed her for other reasons, but the scheudling was terrible. But I still had a good experience. Only, I had psycho girl sitting at my table. *growls* She took up all of MS' time. Not that it matters because I don't say boo.
Last year I did Boston. Boston was great. The convention hotel area thing sucked hosewater, but the con itself was great. it was smaller and more personal. And like I said MS wasn't in some big rush. CJ screwed things up by missing his plane, but MS was alert, friendly, and totally on his game. He carried a drink around with him at the party, but he barely drank from it and he wasn't drunk or hung over. I was very very happy. And Boston didn't have as many weird fans. But they won't ever do Boston again, so bummer. But that was a great experience.
Albert? Is that the kid that "Thor" told to go play in traffic? Crap, he was there AGAIN? Wow.
It's my hope that even though we don't have very many big name people this year, that will make the con experience better. I can relax a little more with supporting cast. Does that make sense? I totally freeze up in front of MS or CJ. But last year in Boston I managed to have two nice conversations with Tony Amendola. It was refreshing. Plus, I'm dying for a nice fan experience. Boston was a step in the right direction from NJ 2004 for sure.
My NJ con experience was fairly awful so the actors really were my shining point. This year, it's all about the fans for me. I don't know if I will be doing any more cons after this so I am hoping for a good time :)
