Tony didn’t get any autographs. He was going to get Linda
Miller’s as Mike had done but changed his mind. He did purchase a dragon
figure. Mike bought a Pops figure, Sara Jane from “Doctor Who”. I didn’t get
anything from the vendor’s area. I did see a Castiel from “Supernatural” Pops
figure but it cost too much for me. I have 4 Doctor Who ones that were gifts. I
better not get into this collectible like I did with beanie babies- I regret
spending so much on those!
Once again, part of
me was wishing that I could have attended the “Supernatural” convention in
Secaucus. I think that it was earlier this month. They already have plans for
another one there next year. That is way beyond my budget, however. I was
curious about the cost of the gold package- for the whole weekend and a bunch
of perks- is nearly $1,000.00. I told
Mike about this and we both agree that this is insane.
We went to the
Chinese Buffet afterwards for dinner. I feel uneasy about this type of place
but did my best to make the healthiest choices that I could, except for the ice
cream. Tony had some mint chocolate chip which is my favorite flavor so I did
too. If I hadn’t snacked on 2 of Mike’s chocolate chip cookies earlier, I
wouldn’t have felt as bad about this.
Mike was telling
Tony about the Winter Con in Queens on December 2. Five stars from “Buck
Rogers” and four from “Blade Runner” are going to be there. Tony seemed a
little interested in the latter but he probably will be busy working that day.
Mike said that he would pay for my ticket so I suppose that I will go with him.
He ordered the DVDs
of “Buck Rogers” and wants me to watch it with him. I told him that I will do
so; we used to have fun watching this show and” Battlestar Galactica” together
when we were kids. We recently saw an episode of the latter in which Randolph
Mantooth was one of the guest stars.
He is hoping that
they have a 40th anniversary reunion of the Battlestar”’ people next
year at either Chiller or Winter Con. That would be nice. He met a couple of
them at other shows. I am glad that I got to see Richard Hatch at one with him
in 2008. He passed away sometime this year. I met the guy who played Boomer
like 17 years ago. Both actors were nice. My brother is more into this show
than I am, obviously. I found out that my therapist liked it too.
I kind of regret
not getting up enough courage to attend a few of the other Chiller Theatre
shows. I was too anxious to go with Tony and Mike because Dad was with them. I
missed out on seeing some “Love Boat”, “Happy Days”, and “Star Trek- TNG
“actors then. I somehow got up enough nerve this time even though he was
originally going to join us. I am such a bad girl for feeling relieved that I
didn’t have to interact with him. God must be really displeased with me because
of this.
