Hayden Christensen SpaceCon SA 2024

I will admit, this was the big draw for me to this show. I missed getting Hayden Christensen’s autograph when he came to Dallas a few years previously.  It’s frustrating when you wait too long and all of the tickets are sold out ahead of time. I did not want to make the same mistake. I bought by ticket a LOOOONG time in advance.

SpaceCon SA is another convention run by the Superhero ComicCon team. I find them fairly organized and on top of their game.  The convention did some things differently this time. I’m assuming it was because of an NBA game being played in the building next door and a Cheer competition on site for the same weekend. With these changes, chaos can ensure. I have heard a lot of complaints about the Hayden line. I didn’t have any issues but I did know they have VIP lines for BOTH regular and premium items. Instead of 2 lines there four. Then you have photo op lines too. The volunteers directing people didn’t always direct the fan to the correct line. That makes for a lot of wasted time and a lot of time on hurting feet.

A buddy was hanging out with me and got to go through the line with me. He told me afterward, that I basically told him to shut up and smile. Sorry about that. I see to do that with people hanging out. I need to get better.

While in line I chatted with the person in front of me. Turns out she works with Steel City ComicCon. We have a great conversation and it really helped to make the time pass. That has been a convention on a radar for a while. I hope to go soon.

Hayden was nice. He shared a few words with everyone but he was moving fast.  We exchanged hellos and then he handed me the photo and made my way out with my buddy.
