This time he was on my turf.
Well, not really my turf. I don’t have any turf. I’m a nerd. Nerd’s
don’t have turf. Nerds have collectible action figures. Let me rephrase: This time Chris Hardwick was
in Dallas. Where the nerd concentration
was notably lower than SDCC and that would increase the probability of getting
his autograph.
Four of
waited before the show, hoping to make it a quick night. However, the roadie
for the show asked us to come back after the show. We’re nerds. We left and
ate. Then we returned a while later.
They even put up barricades to keep us from rushing Chris.
As he show ended, some of the crowd attending made their way
back to the stage door. We were joined
by 30 other fans. The barricades actually made sense.
When Chris Hardwick exited the building, he surveyed the
crowd. He mentioned he’d greet and talk to everyone. He assured us there was no
reason to worry. Very nice to hear that.
He had it under control.Then he walked past the barricades and entered the crowd. He posed and chatted. He signed and laughed.
Since he tweeted about Buc-ees earlier in the day, I asked
how he enjoyed the pit stop icon between Dallas and Houston. He said he had to stop there to show it off
to his friends as they drove up. He’d been there before and was impressed. He
also had to expose the others to Buc-ee Nuggets which he had a hard time
explaining.
He signed my photo and then moved on to others. He
circulated through the crowd without a hurrying. Very refreshing to see.
