My heart raced as I reached into Banshee bag. I just KNEW I was going to pull a losing ticket
once again. Trying to earn sympathy from the guy holding the bag, I asked for
him to think good thoughts. Yes, he gave
me a weird look. But he also doesn’t know my back story.
The ticket was a winner. I just paused. I smiled. I looked for
my friends to show it to them but they had moved out of sight. I held up the line in my wonder of actually getting
a ‘golden ticket’. The ticket was
swapped for a wrist band and I wandered away.
This was 7 AM-ish. The signing was scheduled for 6PM. That
makes for a long day.
When 5PM rolled around, I was done for the day. I was tired
and my feet hurt. I did head to the WB to hang out. Because it was toward the
end of the day and early, I was able to be toward the front of the line.
When the signing started, they brought in several hearing
impaired fans. They let them go first. The stars spent a few minutes with each person.
It was nice to see no one was rushed as is the norm with a lot of signings.
Anthony Starr signed first. I mentioned I enjoyed the
realism of the fight scenes. He listened. My point was the punishment showed. You
didn’t just pop up after taking a lot damage and then act like nothing
happened. He said they spent a lot time working on those scenes and had a lot of
talented people to help. Yes, I may have even raised my hands in a Krav
defensive move as we chatted.
I knew I took more time than I should have so I slid over to
Ivana Milicevic who as actively listening to the conversation with Anthony. She
added a comment. She asked about my Krav and then I mentioned she was pretty
good with the fights too.
Ulrich Thomsen was still chatting with the person in front of
me. I had some much I wanted to say or ask about his character. For some reason
I knew everything I could say or ask was just too inappropriate so I just said
the standard: I love the show.
When I saw the name of Geno Segers, I had a question mark over
my head. But seeing the face, I knew who he was. When this appearance at SDCC, I’m assuming he
will have a bigger role next season.
And the last person signing was the creator JonathonTropper. Again, I reiterated my impression of the fight scenes and he
reiterated what Anthony said – a lot of people put in a lot of time to make it
look so good.
