The Blog to Nowhere

I want to post about the last day of the expo, but I haven't uploaded my photos yet, so here's a quick rundown:

1) Zombies! I ran into a friend and her boyfriend and his kids and they were all done up in zombie make-up. Quite awesome. The original plan was to do a zombie flash mob before George Romero's panel, but he had to cancel last minute due to breaking his arm. Ouch. So, this left all the flash mobbers in a lurch. To make up for it, they just ran around the expo today doing mini versions of Thriller. I'm bummed I missed it, but I'm sure it'll be on YouTube.

2) Number One! Okay, I got to admit that I had a crush on Commander Riker growing up. He'll always be the hunky second in command to me. Actually, Jonathan Frakes was a hoot and he got a White Hat, too, though I'm pretty sure he's was a cheaper version. But he wore the hat more than Shatner did and he had more fun reciting the oath to make him an honourary citizen of the city. Frakes isn't a storyteller like Shatner, so more questions were answered, but he definitely had more fun answering them.

3) The Guild! With pyrotechnics! Felicia tweeted it before the panel started and I love how confused she sounded. My theory is, they budgeted for pyrotechnics for three events: opening ceremonies, Shatner's panel, and Romero's panel. Obviously with no Romero they had some leftover fireworks and stuff. The Guild cast totally deserved them. :-) I'd like you to do something like that, San Diego Comic Con! You could see some of the cast poking their heads between the curtains to film it. So cute. And to my surprise, they're not all PC gamers. I'd say about 4 out of 6 are console gamers. Strange. They do play Left 4 Dead together, which just made my day.

More later, hopefully with photos.
