Adrienne Barbeau Texas Frightmare Weekend May 2018

The next celeb I tracked down was Adrienne Barbeau.  Her line was slow but not like I experienced at Fan Expo Dallas. Her line was moving.

When I got to her, I said Carnivale was a victim of being too early.  If it was shown after True Blood and Game of Thrones, it would have found its audience and would have had 6 or 7 years.  She agreed completely and apparently that was one of the discussion points in her panel. I like it when I’m right.

Adrienne Barbeau and Len Wein #SDCC 2013

Another Twit find: Adrienne Barbeau was doing a booth signing at the Shout! Factory.  Shout! Factory is one of the booths I normally visit to see who is appearing.  This year Shout! Factory was celebrating the DVD releases of Swamp Thing and The Fog.

Earlier that day I learned I needed to buy the DVDs and stand in line. I was told that by buying the DVDs in advance I was a ViP and could skip the line. They neglected to tell me everyone was buying the DVDs in advance. So no line skips.  That was my mistake.  I should have known better.

It was toward the end of the day on Friday. I was tired and my feet hurt.  I had one other autograph to get and the timing was tight.  I needed to be done with this signing within 45 minutes to have time to make the other line at the Fox booth. When I showed up, about 50 people were ahead of me.  

I started watching the clock.  At the start time, Adrienne Barbeau and Len Wein hadn’t shown.  Still with 50 people, there would be plenty of time to process the fans.  the heart rate barely increased.  They did arrive just a few minutes late.  The line moved slowly.   As I watched the clock and counted the people in front of me I knew I would need to make a decision: Stay or go.
