Screaming TikiCon 2009

GWC Meetups and Events
#1

Just heard about it this morning:

Screaming TikiCon
July 10-12 The Halle Building, Cleveland, OH

Guests so far:

Edward James Olmos
Sam Witwer (Crashdown, Doomsday)
Helen Slater (Supergirl)
Ray Park (Darth Maul)
Daniel Logan (Young Boba Fett)

And Batcopter rides!

Plus, I have sooper seekrit inside information on another big name guest who will be appearing. I promised I wouldn’t say anything about who, but it’s a biggie!

So, any of you in the Cleveland area, or who would like to visit the Cleveland area, come say hi! I mean, yeah, it’s no SD ComiCon, but hey, sounds like fun! And hell, at only $30 for the weekend pass, it’s worth it just to see EJO!

#2

Another actor guest has been added:

Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor)

And a whole bunch of comic book artists and writers, but I can’t remember their names and I can’t look at the site while at work since it’s flash-based grumble, grumble stupid computer…

And he isn’t the big name guest I heard about…

#3

Crap! I HATE working weekends… maybe EJO will fly in privately and I’ll get to see him wishful thinkin… If they actually FLY the batcopter in I’ll probably get to see it…

#4

Batcopter rides! WooHoo!

(BTW, what are those? :confused: like they take you up in a helicopter? whatever they are, I’d do it, just to say I had one)

EJO for 30 bucks is a steal. Hope you have a good time – you’ll have to show us some pics.

#5

SORRYBARB! That is my weekend on at work! Maybe I can swing down Friday, I will have the day off…I dunno. :frowning:

#6

To bad you can’t be there! But the possibility of seeing EJO and the Batcopter! Sweet!

AFAIK, they are taking people up for rides in the actual Batcopter.

:frowning: I know I’m definitely going Saturday, barring any unforeseen catastrophes.

#7

Here are some of my photos from Screaming TikiCon. I didn’t take many, and they were all with a cell phone (forgot my actual camera…)

There are a few more at my flickr page.

#8

I’ll add my pics tomorrow when I’m not so tired and can think straight.

#9

OH! And the best story of the day: While we were standing at the table talking to Edward James Olmos, I received a text message. My ringtone was “By your command”. He started laughing!

I thought that would be the most awesome part of the day, but hey, you’ve seen my picture with him! (If not, go check it out on the Here’s Looking at You thread!)

#10

The Empire invades Cleveland

If you look closely you can see Samuel Witwer/Crashdown in the middle.

I’ve joined the Darkside!!
