I attended BOTH Texas Frightmare Weekend and GalaxyCon the same weekend. I got a few autographs at each convention. The Wife wasn’t exactly happy about me driving so far with little rest but she was happy I was out of the house most of the weekend.
My 3-hour drive was easy. I arrived and parked with enough
time to get my badge just as the doors were opening. I walked the floor to see
where everyone was located and who was seated that early.
Greg Nicotero was already there. He was the number one
reason for the long drive. I enjoyed The Walking Dead and thought some of the episodes
he directed were powerful. I walked up
and he was friendly. He mentioned that he liked the photo I brought. He asked
where I found it. He had a similar photo (behind the camera) but without the
makeup.
He signed. I started to ‘fanboy’ out. I did check if anyone
was in line behind me. I mentioned that I used to attend SDCC (yes, I’m always referencing
SDCC. Does that make me a snob?). I told him one year I saw him coming down the long escalator on Preview Night as I was going up. I waved.
He waved back. No else was aware. Silly anecdote
but I shared it.
Then we shook and I moved on to see who else was around.
