I wonder why. :giggle:

I've never actually attended a comic-con, but I have gone to more comic stores than I an count.

They probably only have them in the big cities I would think. This one was in San Diego and they had mentioned Chicago and San Antonio. It's like the big movie premieres...they are never by us...usually cities like Dallas, Houston, Atlanta...and I'm not traveling that far for something like that.

gmvail23 · by **gmvail23** » Fri Jun 06, 2008 6:59 pm

I don't know if they ever had one in Boston, but NY isn't really that far away. I just never hear about them till there over, so it's impossible to plan something.

There are smaller ones that would probably be in MA, but Comic-Con is huge and only goes to a few big cities ever year.

Cajungirl26 · by **Cajungirl26** » Fri Jun 06, 2008 7:07 pm

Don't they have stars from TV shows there, too? Like I think Joss Whedon's casts and X-files casts have attended them...unless I'm thinking of something else.

I've attended a couple Doctor Who conventions, way back when the original show was on, I think I was still in High School for both of them, I've got to meet the 2nd and 5th Doctors, on was in Concord, NH and one in Boston MA. Also a Star Trek/Babylon Five convention in Boston Deanna Troi, Odo (from Star Trek) and Vir (from B5) were at it. I was in my 20's for that one. But never a comic book one.

Hopefully I'll get to go to more someday.

I have got to meet a few comic book people but it was at comic store, not a convention.

That's pretty kewl. I met a few wrestling stars when I was in my teens and into the whole hunky muscle thing (not that I've lost that aspect LOL) ...a lot of them were quite nice but I don't think steriods ran as rampid through the industry as it does now. Sad part is there are so many pro wrestlers that are dead because of that shit now...at such young ages

....what a waste.

gmvail23 · by **gmvail23** » Sat Jun 07, 2008 8:23 pm

There are reasons most pro athletes aren't allowed to use them.

Cajungirl26 · by **Cajungirl26** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 8:23 am

Yep, but they are hard headed and I think it's encouraged in an under the table sort of way.

gmvail23 · by **gmvail23** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 2:00 pm

That's too bad, it really should be discouraged.

Cajungirl26 · by **Cajungirl26** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 6:24 pm

Yes, it should. Looks aren't everything and there are so many unhealthy side affects to taking that stuff. Most notably heart problems which is what a lot of these guys end up dying from....the most recent was a guy named Eddie Guerrero ...he was only a year older than me.

Another was the "British Bulldog"...I think he was close to my age, too. I'm pretty sure he was married and had kids, as well. I don't know how much you know about wrestling but he was Bret Hart's B-I-L. I haven't watched wrestling in ages but every once in a while I run across news items on them.

God, I'd love a music/movie room. Wanna start collecting vinyl records and posters. Get a projection screen, surround sound...It'd be glorious. :heart:

Not related to the current topic. Sorry. <<

gmvail23 · by **gmvail23** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 7:29 pm

It's related to the main topic so it's ok. Sound cool, I know it's something you would love.

Dante · by **Dante** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 7:33 pm

I'd nevah leave it. ='(

gmvail23 · by **gmvail23** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 7:36 pm

I understand that. If I had a bigger house I'd want a media room too.

Dante · by **Dante** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 7:38 pm

I need a place for my posters. I neeeed one, Greta. Neeeeeeeeeed.

gmvail23 · by **gmvail23** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 7:41 pm

Hurry up and become a famous chef so you can build your own house and have lots of space for them.

Dante · by **Dante** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 7:46 pm

Make me famous. =(

gmvail23 · by **gmvail23** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 8:16 pm

I haven't been able to find a magic wand. =(

Dante · by **Dante** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 8:30 pm

Awwwwww. =(

gmvail23 · by **gmvail23** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 8:38 pm

If I could I'd make me famous too.

I

this thread.

I really regret throwing those away. I need to be kicked in the face

gmvail23 · by **gmvail23** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 12:25 am

Loser, I always keep them for shows I like.
*kicks JD in the face.*

MadGuy · by **MadGuy** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 12:34 am

I never thought they could be used as posters :iguess:

I just found them annoying

gmvail23 · by **gmvail23** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 12:49 am

I had them kicking around so it made sense to do something with them.

Dante · by **Dante** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 12:56 am

I just keep 'em in their DVD cases. >>

gmvail23 · by **gmvail23** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 1:01 am

The Star Trek ones are in there cases, they are bigger so I don't have them displayed.
