Comic Con NYC 2019

This is the first time that my brother and I ever attended this event. It was fun but very crowded. We only saw about half of the vendors; my brother didn't feel like going back to that area after I got an autograph. Now he is wishing that we had, of course.

I didn't take that many photos because I was feeling overwhelmed by the huge crowd. You aren't supposed to take any of the stars, but I am sure that some people did anyway. You can pay for table photo ops or professional ones with them.

 Five cast members of Angel was there; it's the 20th anniversary of that show. I can't believe that it has been that long. I originally was just going to get James Marsters autograph but then later decided to also get Charisma Carpenter's. I felt less nervous talking to her and said more too.

My brother also got her autograph. At first, he hadn't planned on it but I convinced him to do so which he seems glad about. We both got Nichelle Nichols autograph. I used to like "Star Trek" when I was a kid. My brother still enjoys it.

We saw Felicia Day at the book signing area. We had missed out on her panel because Nichelle was running late. Maybe the line was long and we wouldn't have been able to get into it anyhow.

I had wanted to buy her book earlier but my brother talked me out of it, saying that he wants her autograph on a photo from "Supernatural" and not a book. I wish that I hadn't listened to him. Now he is regretting this decision and said "You shouldn't have listened to me".

We saw Christopher Eccleston from "Doctor Who". The price of his autograph wasn't in our budget. Mike has autographs of Doctors 5, 6, and 7- Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy. He also saw the 12th, Peter Capaldi. He has been to 4 or 5 "Doctor Who" conventions.

Mike would have gotten a photo op with Charisma if it was $20.00 and not $40.00. The former was the price of Marsters' when purchasing his autograph at $40.00. I had thought about doing so but talked myself out of it which I am sort of regretting.

I don't normally like being in photos but should have made an exception this time. My brother is more into getting such photo ops and some professional ones too. I only have one table op that I paid $15.00 for and 4 from before the stars were even charging for them.

We didn't get to see Billy Dee Williams. He wasn't at his table for the 6:00 p.m. signing when we went back to the area. We couldn't see him at his other time because we were on line for autographs.

Tom Hiddleston was there too but there was no way that we could even see him with the way that they had his table and line set up. They also had a metal detector in that area- no other star had this. The price of his autograph was way, way beyond what I could afford- $250.00.

Mike and I bought the same style Supernatural t-shirt. The vendor had a lot of cool shirts to choose from. He would have gotten a Star Trek one too but he didn't have his size.

I was going to scan my autographs like I have done with others in the past but felt too nervous to take them out of the binder.

My Sci-Fi Story Idea - February 2014

My “friend” Sam hasn’t teleported me to the holodeck in a few days. He also hasn’t been doing so as often as he used to which is disappointing. I wish that he would come for me tonight. I have a lot of good memories of my time there. There are some unpleasant ones too but even those don’t seem as bad as what I have to deal with here.

   I can’t tell anybody about any of this because they might think that I am crazy. I’m not making any of it up, it’s all true. I have been abducted by this alien many times over the past 13 years. Sam has been observing me, reading my thoughts and memories so he knows my likes, interests and fears. Some people might be creeped out by this but it didn’t really bother me.

  The stars of the storylines that he created for me include music performers (often Duran Duran and Bon Jovi), actors, actresses, tennis stars, family, my doggies (I love getting to be with them again in this way), former friends and classmates.

  There are times that the plot will suddenly change partway through which can be frustrating because I want to know how the story ends. The same is true when it is a complete scenario. I wake up and I’m in my own bed again wondering what might have happened next.

  I almost always look younger as does everyone else. I’m not entirely sure if the people that I am with are holograms, shape shifting aliens or maybe a mixture of both. I also don’t know if I’m in a holodeck on their ship like in “Star Trek” world or maybe even one on his planet. Perhaps this race has the power to simply recreate any setting there. 

    I am happy when I am transform me into a pretty or even semi pretty girl. I wonder how this is done. I am also usually smarter, more confident, and less anxious in this fantasy world.

   Sam can communicate with me telepathically. I have only met him once though, but he had shape shifted into the form of another guy.  He knows how depressed that I am and wants to make me feel better. He feels alone and like an outsider just as I do.

   There has been some nightmare like situations that I have been stuck into also which is very upsetting. There are some mean aliens that hack into his programs to torment him and me. He tries his best to get me out of these. They make it difficult. He always apologizes for not being able to do so sooner.

   When I am returned to Earth, it is as if no time has passed by. Sometimes, I have items that were a part of the programs like photographs that I have taken which is cool.

   I’m wondering if Sam is taking me less because he got in trouble for having me in the holodeck. He told me that a majority of his race don’t really want humans to be there. Or maybe he just feels that we both need to try to fit into our worlds and not feel like freaks anymore.

 

Note- I gave up on even trying to do this a while ago. I don't have enough talent to write such a book plus I am sure that something similar has been done before.
