Margaret Kerry Alamo City ComicCon 2018

‘Tink’ was at Alamo City.  The actress that was the ‘model’ for Tinker bell, Margaret Kerry, was signing.  I visited her table and she was a bundle of energy. At 89 years old, she took charge and sat me down (she stood the whole time) because I towered over her. With me seated, we were closer to looking each other in the eyes. 

I mentioned I missed her at SDCC a few years back. She told me about her trip way back then.

She got lost in San Diego. She ended up taking a took a pedicab to the convention center.  As she was trying to get her attendee badge, she was given the wrong directions.  Then she received more wrong directions when she was trying to find the room where she was a panelist.  As she finally got to the room, she was expecting 20 or 30 people but the door opened onto 500 people.  She was pleasantly overwhelmed.

As she was signing. She made me take a photo. California passed a law to authenticate autographs. It’s a silly thing that probably doesn’t make any difference. I was aware of the law and I don’t think it applied to ComicCons. I know no one at SDCC was doing this. I know that law did not apply to Texas but she was a law-abiding citizen and on a roll. I was NOT going to argue with Tinker Bell.
