Andy Lee
This is the guy that we met at Comic Con on Sunday when we volunteer . Let me tell you...Well first let me tell you that Mr. Andy Lee is a fabulous guy! And an amazing amazing artist! I am in awe of the talent he has to turn a few simple lines into such beautiful masterpieces! I am in love with his dragon! (boy that sounds kinda dirty... ooops)
So anyway... Here's how the day went... We woke up early early early (7:30am) to get ready to go to Novi for this thing. We picked our autographs on the way there. Kevin picked Ron Perlman (hellboy) first, Marc Singer (Beastmaster) 2nd and Michael Dorn (Worf) 3rd. I picked George Takei (sulu) 1st, Michael Dorn 2nd and Gates McFadden (Dr.Crusher) 3rd. (They're supposed to mail them to us, so we still don't know who we got) We got there and they put me at the same place as last time, near the hospitality room. And Kevin got guest area duty...Just like before. It was awesome! From the beginning, I felt more comfortable, it was more relaxed. I was opening the door for all the guest to come in to the convention center, so I got to see everyone first. Space Ghost (George Lowe) was there SUPER early (well compared to the rest of them) and he was FABULOUS!!! I LOVE him!!!! I wish I would have chosen to get his autograph. (okay, not really, I really really wanted Sulu's...But he would have been 2nd) .... George Takei walked in with his coat draped over his shoulders like a cape and looked at me as I held the door for him (I was wearing my favorite flames rockabilly type shirt) and gestured with his hands *such a lovely muted ensemble* he said. OMG he couldn't have flamed more if he tried!!! And Dean Haglund (of XFiles Lone Gunmen fame)... Totally reminded me of Carson from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy! Very cool guy! Apparently he did a stand up at the Doubletree Hotel the night before and everyone went so they were all hungover and late coming in lol. Tim Russ walked in and said he didn't get to sleep until around 3am. Daniel Logan (Boba Fett in attack of the clones) said he only got like an hour. He was adorable! Came up behind me and scared me as he was walking thru once.
Let's see...I got to see a bunch of people...Helped Erin Grey with her stuff when she got in (from Silver Spoons and Buck Rogers) ... Held the door open for Alfonso Ribeiro (no...He didn't do the Carlton dance...He did however walk over to Wendy's at lunchtime...Can you imagine being the person waiting on him...Or driving by and seeing him walking down the street...lol) ... Chatted a little with Felix Silla (twikkie from buck Rogers...Great guy!!!) ... Saw Gil Gerard (BUCK ROGERS... He's gained a bit of weight since then. Nice guy too)... ummmmm....OH! ANDY LEE!!! He went out and had a smoke with Kevin...Bummed a cigarette I guess...And that's how we got 2 FABULOUS pieces of art from him. He drew me a picture of Illusen from Neopets and drew Kevin a cool as hell Godzilla! They're 11x17 so I can't scan them in their entirety. I wanna shrink them down at kinko's (to stay color) so I can then post them for everyone to see how beautiful they are! We have them in our living room right now.
After we got done volunteering we walked around. Talked with Tom Sullivan (of Evil Dead fame) for like 20 minutes! He is such a cool cool guy!!!! I'm a total fan now! I can't wait to see him again! I want to buy a print of his artwork AND take in the Evil Dead book we have. He showed us how to "decipher" the writings in the book too. He was hella cool! OH! And Space Ghost had some guy come up to him and get an autograph ... "What do you want me to write" SG asks ... "Anything" the guy responds ... "Anything? Really?" says SG ... "Sure" says the guy... SG "I've been waiting for 3 days to write this" (laughing the whole time) ... On guy's picture "to mike (guy's name) the biggest pussy I know ...George Lowe" .... LMAO!!! Isn't that the funniest thing you've heard!?! I love SG!!! George Lowe is the shizznit!!!!
Let's see...Tanya Roberts... Really nice...Came back and smelled the cookies baking and asked me if it was driving me crazy. Not really I said. She said she LOVES cookies...She went off her diet the night before and had like 20 cookies and some ice cream. Yeah...She's like a size 0... I don't think it would catch up to her. Kate Jackson...Also very nice, but from what Kevin said a bit neurotic in signing. She needed to have a volunteer sitting behind her at all times so no one would walk up from behind the curtains and surprise her (is our guess) and she allowed no flash photography until after 3pm. You could take a pic, you just couldn't use a flash. But like I said, very nice.
Okay, I think I'm done now. I had such a fabulous time on Sunday. I think the best however was Andy Lee. He is cool as hell and cute too (*shhhhhhhhhh*) and so nice. I would love to be able to have us keep in touch with him somehow and definitely I want to see him at the next show here in Detroit (in October) for which I shall take my camera...I promise. I forgot it this time (again) too damn early!
