RI Comic Con 2024 Bits and Bobs and Pics

Yes I know it's now a week later but, y'know, stuff happens sometimes.

-If you ever have the opportunity to meet Matthew Lillard, please do yourselves a favor and do so. He is just the nicest guy. He walked up the autograph line giving high fives. During this little jaunt, the woman in front of me told him she loved him. He hugged her and then told her she had terrible taste in men. He was giving everyone hugs so when it was my turn, I asked if I could give him a hug. He told me to hug the hell out of him. :) And he gives phenomenal hugs. Just a lovely man who enjoys meeting the fans.

-I met Skeet Ulrich, you guys! I have liked him since The Craft! He is also a lovely man who is very personable and easy to talk to and also greeted me with a hug. (*swoon!*) I brought my Jericho DVDs for signing, which he seemed surprised to see. We had a little chat about it, haha.

-I also met Rose McGowan because like, Charmed. She is also lovely and surprisingly tiny! Paige looks taller, I guess. Anyway. What was really amusing is that most people were coming to her with Scream or Charmed memorabilia but then I rocked up to her with my Once Upon a Time book (because wee Cora!), haha. She was impressed with how many autographs I had in it. :)

-Jennifer Morrison was there so you know I had to go say hi. She was her typically lovely self and we had a nice little chat about friends getting other friends hooked on TV shows, haha.

-Right next to Jen was Soleil Moon Frye, who I had to meet for six-year-old me. I told her I was sure she had been hearing it all weekend, but Punky Brewster was such a large part of my childhood. So much so that I remember being in first grade and playing Punky Brewster on the playground and dressing as Punky for the Halloween dance/party thing in second grade. She was really appreciative and I really don't think she had been expecting the warm reception she would get from the fans. She seemed genuinely touched. She also had pretty much every color marker under the sign for autograph signing, which amused me because how Punky!

-This was also the first year I did selfies at the table as opposed to the pro photo ops, mostly because my gallery wall is pretty dang full at this point. Honestly, I think I like the selfies better! You get more time with the actor and they're less rushed.

Here be my selfies and a pic in a model DeLorean:

Hi, so Matthew Lillard gives great hugs. :)

Listening to "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" at work is dangerous because it's so hard not to belt it out with Celine (regardless of how absolutely terrible my voice is) but I'm, y'know, at work so instead I'm giving the lip-sync performance of a lifetime.

Thank goodness my coworkers understand how I am with this song or else I'd probably be getting some funny looks right about now.

I had cloud cover so here are some pink clouds.

Only Murders in the Building is delightful for now I, too, want a doorbell that plays “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant.”

I’m reading a book about a woman whose sister disappeared when she was a kid but now she’s returned (if it’s really her) and won’t talk about where she’s been. There are also some as yet unrelated chapters about an isolated teenage brother and sister who seem a little too into each other and what in the Flowers in the Attic am I reading??

You guys. This book is absolutely delightful. I read the entire thing with a huge grin on my face. 10000/10.

This might be a silly question but, like, which Saturday??
