First off, I will say that this has been the best Con yet. I loved every minute and every day. The only sad thing about it was that Paul Wesley didn't make it. I really wanted a duo photo op with him and Ian and I wanted to see them both at the panel. Ian was great and it was nice that he did photo ops for people who had the duo or Paul's photo op. I got half my money back and another great photo with Ian. I loved everything Ian said in his panel. I wish there were more people like Ian in this world. He is truly a beautiful person inside and out and I'm glad I've gotten to meet him twice now. I would still love to go to a Vampire Diaries Con. It would be fun to meet some of the other stars that have been on the show.
I loved seeing and hearing Mark Hamill at his panel. I can at least say that I was in the same building as him. I didn't get a photo op because they were way too expensive, but it would have been great if I could have. I liked William Shatner as well and I'm glad I got to see his panel because I missed him the last time he came for the first Con. All the panels I attended were great and I had such a good time listening to them talking. I especially loved that Billy Boyd sang during his panel. The Last Goodbye is one of my favorite songs ever and his voice is just so beautiful. He was really funny as well. I should have gotten a photo op with him.
It was so nice to finally meet Katie Cassidy. I waited in her autograph line for over an hour. That kind of sucked because my sister and I missed Henry Winkler's panel. I kept thinking that she would be back shortly and it didn't turn out that way. I had a good time talking to a few people while waiting, though. That was really nice. It's nice to find out what others like and what they think. I still wish I could have met her at a Supernatural Con. Oh well, it was nice that she came here and I was finally able to get a pic with her and her autograph.
This Con was very well organized and I loved that the most about it. I didn't really have to wait in long lines and the photo op area was more organized. I only waited once for a panel in a line, otherwise, I just walked right in and sat down. There was a whole lot going on at the Con, so everyone wasn't in the same place. I love the fact that Dan Farr and Mark Brandenburg get old and new stars to come. It's nice because then the Con is for everyone of all ages to enjoy. There is something literally for everyone, including kids. I can't believe that I heard people sniveling over how much it cost for a ticket to the Con. I think this Con is way affordable and you get so much for the price. If you buy your tickets early, you get a really good discount. My sister and I went VIP this year and I think that made it better as well. I could go VIP to about two or three of these Cons for what I spent for just my gold ticket to a SPN Con. Now those Cons are a lot of money. Sure you get some autographs included, but it still is a lot. Plus, when I've gone to one of those Cons, I have to fly and stay in a motel room and that's even more money. I'm happy that I can enjoy a Con closer to home and that there is a wide variety of stars that attend.
It was nice that my sister and I got along for the whole Con. I loved that as well. I bought too much stuff though. I just had to buy some of those fun boxes filled with goodies.
I already can't wait until the next Con and I hope there will be even more great stars to meet next year.
