WonderCon: Day 2
Today was made of awesome, wrapped in an awesome shell, and topped off with awesome sauce.
Okay, so I had a really good time. I spent most of the day in the big hall watching the parade of stars, including The X Files panel with David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz (although there are bigger fans than me, I was still awed by this panel); John Cho from Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay; Jon Favreau, director of Iron Man; and the Starship Troopers 3: Marauder panel with Casper Van Diem (so fucking hot, even when he’s acting like a spaz), Jolene Blalock (ditto, though with less spaz) and Edward Neumeier. I ended the evening watching Justice League: The New Frontier, which is officially released (straight-to-DVD) next Tuesday (loved it, its got my recommendation).
When I wasn’t watching kick-ass clips of the Iron Man armor, stoners getting mistaken for terrorists, good-looking people trying to recruit me into the war against the bugs, or other fun stuff, I mostly watched the crowd. I also picked up a few queer-interest books (Pride High and How Loathsome) based on the interesting Prism Comics panel I watched at the start of the day. Sadly, someone stole the final (signed by the author) issue of Pride High right out of my bag… I know when it happened, but I didn’t catch the thief in the act, so I’ll probably head back tomorrow and replace it.
I was a little disappointed that I ran out of energy before the Masquerade (for the second year). I also missed the Chinese New Year Parade.
I’m too tired to do much of a play-by-play recap, but photos are after the jump.
