Wizard World Los Angeles 08 Autograph Pick Ups!!!

Unread post by outkastxleo »

Went to Wizard World Los Angeles on Saturday with buddies of mine .

Anyways, WWLA was REALLY small and not too crowded. I think it got a little more crowded close to the end of the show.

Well, here are my latest autograph hauls and some stories to go along with a few of the pictures....

Image

First off....right when the doors opened, my buddy and I went to go get our prepaid tickets for the Summer Glau signing while Realm waited in line for the Pathology cast signing..luckily Realm called me and said they were only giving out 200 tickets so we left the Summer line and decided to come back after we get our other tickets...

1st autograph of the day....Gina Phillips - Jeepers Creepers and Sickhouse
Hopefully the boardie that had a thread on her, i think last week, will see this

Image

After that, did some walking around and then went in line for the Pathology Cast / Writers signing...I ended up purchasing a sketch of Milo Ventimiglia to see if I could get it signed by him, but of course how these things go, they were only signing promo posters.....oh did I mention Alyssa Milano was there too...

Image

I swear, I dont even remember looking at her when shaking her hand....so damn hot!!!

Bottom Left (Alyssa Milano) , Middle (Milo Ventimiglia), Top Center (Writers)

My buddy recorded a video of me talking to Milo asking him to say hi to my wife on camera...you guys can view the video if you like, but its a 32MB wmv file....

So many damn lines to wait in, there was no time to walk around.....next line...
SUMMER GLAU!!!

While waiting in line Donald Faison walks by so I was able to ask him for a picture...never got an auto of him because he was on his way out....

WARNING....
GRAIL HAUL COMING UP NEXT!!!!!
PLEASE READ THE STORY IT'S PRETTY COOL......


So Realm is waiting in line for Tim Sale and we meet up with him to try to get Tim's auto. I had my heroes graphic novel with me, and both Loeb and Sale were there. We held a spot in line while Realm tried to get a sketch from J. Scott Campbell, and while we were waiting my buddy said "hey look that Milo guy is up there" and there are windows inside the convention center looking down into the convention floor. Anyways, I told my buddy I was going to go and try to find that room and see what was going on..I knew it wasnt the panel because it was about an hour before the panel started. So I finally found the room upstairs and a really nice security guard lady was standing in front w/door closed and only cracking it open to let people in and out. So I told her why I was waiting there and she started talking about him and that i just missed him because he went to the restroom. She also swung the door open real wide so I can get a glimpse of what was going on in there and verify he was there. After about 5 or 6 people going in and out...FINALLY comes Milo right out the door and by himself....the direction he was going, I knew he was headed for the restroom...did that stop me?? HELL NAW lol....I was real polite, and had asked him while walking with him...
Me - "Hi Milo, do you think I can get an autograph. I know you are busy and on your way to the restroom, so if you want, I can wait"
Milo - "No, no it's cool don't even worry about it"
Me - "Possible I can get a photo also with you?"
Milo - "Yeah yeah, no problem"
Man that was a highlight of my day...im a huge heroes fan and I missed out on an autograph and pic from him a while ago...I was stoked because it was only him and I, VERY FEW people were walking down the hall.....

Next up was Collin Chou (Matrix and Kingdom of Heaven)

Another cool story...ill try to keep it short....
In order to get Seth Green's auto, you had to attend his panel and get a ticket. After walking around a few times, I realized he was on his last person while I passed by...so I decided to wait and picked up his autograph and a picture
Kinda close huh? Felt weird because he was all close and stuff...lol

Final auto of the day was Ray Park (Darth Maul, Toad, and Snake Eyes)
Got to talk to him for a few while he was signing....really nice guy....he was actually done signing auto's and was just hanging out.....

Wow man, that's just awesome! I'm so envious of your chance to meet Summer Glau! But hopefully I can catch her at another con. I'm very happy for you though! Milo seems like a nice guy to the fans, so I've earned more respect for him. {up}
There's nothing like seeing your own handwriting on a letter addressed to yourself in your mailbox :D
