Before they were stars
While I was thinking about what to talk about this week, a little story came to mind from the Wizard Philly con. On Sunday I had a chance to walk around just a little bit and while talking to the Hero Envy guys (they were a guest on our show) I saw a HUGE line to see Katee Sackhoff. To the left of that was another huge line (unconfirmed) that was the second part of the initial line to see Katee. So basically, it was the line to wait on the line...
From where I was standing I could actually see Katee and how different she looked. She looked like "a star". She was surrounded by cameras, Wizard staff & "security". and tons of adoring fans.
Seeing her there reminded me of when I first met her. It was at an I-con (www.iconsf.org) just a few years back. The pilot of Battlestar Galactica had just aired a few weeks prior and she was scheduled to appear at a panel with (if I remember correctly) Dirk Benedict. You know as a "Two Starbucks" panel (although it could have been Richard Hatch). Anyway, Dirk (or Richard) didn't show and it was Katee all by herself. I hadn't seen the pilot but I had nothing better to do, so I stayed for the panel. There was about 20-30 people there (maybe).
She was very very nervous and she said that it was her very first convention. She was nice enough but she really didn't have much to say. I mean it was only a 2 hour pilot and she wasn't even sure that it was going to be picked up for a series. I'll never forget something that she said..."I also was in the latest Halloween (Resurrection) movie.".
Now I am a big Halloween fan and I still have no idea who she was in that movie....

You never know who is listening
So last week's show I had planned to talk about my experience at the Big Apple con. And I had some (light) dish to tell. Just as I was about to get into the nitty gritty of my story, the guy (nothing bad really) who one of my stories centred on actually called into the station. The show turned into an interview show. He was a good guest had lots of stories to tell. Guess maybe Lou Ferrigno might actually be tuning in!

Past Two weeks
I'm a little under the weather, so my thoughts might be all over the place.
So I did the Philly con, then the TV interview, then the Big Apple con. Boy am I beat. What didn't help was that right after the TV show, I got a pre-cold. So I was sick during last week's show and the Big Apple con this weekend. If not for circumstances I would have not shown. But I did and I'm glad I did. Despite all the chaos involved with a con, I get to meet my fans and comic book comrades. Also I get to meet some of my comic book heroes and (possibly) a celeb or two. So while both cons were a little on the slow side, I still had a good time.
The TV show...not so much. For some reason I got really nervous. I was fine before and afterwards, but during the taping...I hope it didn't show too much. Here's a little funny fact about the tv show (it went by so fast! I don't know why I would think that I would be longer than the radio show, but I did. I had so much to say and show but it kinda went by fast! And since I was sweating bullets, it didn't help much!
Now I get two days of rest and hopefully I will be all better for the show on Thursday.

I'm (not) ready for my close up!
I'm excited. Tomorrow I am going to be interviewed on TV. Yep finally I get my 15 minutes. Sure, it's only a cable access show, but this will be my first interview that will actually air! As an added bonus, it's going to be a whole 30 minutes dedicated to me! So really, it's not just an interview, I'm the feature! Good thing Brian is going to join me cause he's used to being on camera. As soon as the show airs (we are going to be live on tape) I'll post it here.
