Those admission prices are very reasonable.

That is so cool that Ray park is gonna be there. He is really great about pictures and autographs. We got pics with him at San Diego last year.

And Adam Baldwin is he one of the infamous Baldwin brothers?

Oh and I would love to have a you get me a signed pic of Corey Feldman. Like from Goonies or Stand By Me. Those were 2 of my favorite movies as a kid. ;D

[neenjah]

If Corey's got one I'll get it for you.

Adam is no relation to the Baldwin brothers Alec, Daniel, William, and Stephen. Alumnus of New Trier Township High School East, Winnetka, Illinois. Other New Trier graduates include Ralph Bellamy, Charlton Heston, Rock Hudson, Hugh O'Brien, Ann-Margret, Bruce Dern, Penelope Milford, Virginia Madsen and Liz Phair.

I remember first seeing him in My Bodyguard (1980), but he's been in movies and on TV for years. He was also the voice of Hal Jordan in Justice League Unlimited's The Once and Future Thing: Time, Warped: Part 2 .

Not sure what pic of him I'll get!

Yeah, the admission prices are great. It can cost you if you pick up a lot of autographs. They usually run around $20-25 per 8x10. Adam West was A LOT more on his stuff last year for some reason. I'm going to get a Burt Ward photo, but if he's charging like Adam that's all I'll get from him.

If it is not too much trouble I would like to have a pic of Alec Baldwyn, Serenity or Firefly and one of Ray Park. I'll send the money with you for them, just let me know how much. If there is a limit, i'll understand.
thanks

[neenjah]

I don't think there is a limit, and I can't see them turning down money! Yeah, just remind me before I head that way or I'll forget. Last year everyone was charging $20-25 each.

[sagwa]

I definitely want Adam Baldwyn, he was my favorite character in Serenity. I'll write myself a note to remember to remind you. Don't want to miss him. Wish I could go too

[neenjah]

Hey gang- they added Verne Troyer - "Mini Me" as a guest!

They also added Robert Z' Dar (Maniac Cop 1-3/Tango & Cash), Felix Silla (Buck Rogers in the 25th Century), and Clare Kramer (Glory on Season 5 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

They just updated the site with Antone's, Steve's, and my bios. ;D

[sagwa]

Can't wait to hear about Lin and company's adventures at Adventurecon! I just know I have a signed pic of Adam Baldwyn ;D ;D ;D
Thanks bunches!!!!!

[neenjah]

He mentioned you- and in all CAPS, too. Oops, he did forget Sammy, though..!

Well, here's some more highlights from Aventurecon.

First of all, we were set up across from the celebs and THE BATMOBILE! That was soooooo cool. I had my picture taken in it up in Metropolis a few years back. This car is super-nice.


Ray Park was the first celeb we saw on Saturday morning and he was walking around checking out the car before the show opened. He later got his picture made in it.


Antone had visions of 'Grand Theft Auto' running thru his head...


Someone even brought a small pedal-car and got Burt to sign it.


Speaking of Burt, he finally got to sit in the driver's seat of the Batmobile!

I had him sign my Robin/Batarang and a couple photos.

Kev and I gave him a couple of comics and he complimented us on the art and really seemed to dig them.


Then I went to go meet Adam Baldwin (nope, no relation). Nice guy- and very tall!


He later had his picture taken in the Batmobile, too.


Stopped by Ray's booth. So did Darth Maul!


Ray did a couple lightsaber fight demonstrations. Once in front of his booth, and then in front of the 501st's booth.

He later got an imperial escort back to his table from the 501st.


Corey Feldman was there.

Micah wanted a photo from him, so I got it and a snapshot for me. Gave him a Bushi Tales comic- couldn't have one of the Frog Brother's go home from a convention without one!


Later on Saturday I got to meet who I drove up there to see- Erica Durance! Ah, Lois is even prettier (and taller) in person!

Kev and I gave her comics and a copy of The Daily Planet from the Metropolis Superman Celebration. Her husband David Palffy(Stargate SG-1) was nice enough to give me her agent's contact info (who is his brother!). Hopefully she'll come to Metropolis someday.

Oh, she seems to like to doodle on the table in-between autographs, and is a lefty, too! (I noticed Michael Rosenbaum was in Metropolis.)


Some of us even found time to draw, too!

Steve dispels any rumors about never drawing in public.


Kevin and Muley.


Kevin draws "Sammy The Skunk"- Matt's character.


One of Janet's sketches.

And one of Antone's.

Clare Kramer (Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Bring it On) was there at the same table as Erica and David. Yowzer- she's a looker, too!


Todd and Patrick (and Stabbo2) stopped by our booth. They were there promoting the new haunt in the cave at Ruby Falls in Chattanooga. That's Pat trying to convince folks to stop by the HauntedWeb.com booth.


I saw Ray go by to get his picture made in the Batmobile, so on his way back to his booth I asked if he would mind taking a photo with me at the Bushi Tales booth.

He said sure, and then ended up hanging out and taking pics with just about everyone there!








After Ray left we got back to business.






Sharon and Janet kept watch over the tables.

Lots of costumed folks walking around the con floor.





Some even brought a little something to snack on.

Verne Troyar/Mini-Me arrived on Sunday.


Kev got his autograph and gave him some comics.

And even Corey Feldman stopped by to say hi to Verne.


Later while I was taking pictures of the Back To The Future Delorean I saw Erica headed towards it. She came over to have her picture made in it.


Also on Sunday we got to meet Felix Silva and Haley Mills.




Can't thank Steve and the Adventurecon staff enough. Great show!

And thanks to Kev for driving, and Antone, Janet, and Sharon for the donuts!
