A dilettante’s adventures and misadventures collecting autographed books, baseballs, and photos; meeting celebrities and ball players; and attending conventions from the past 35 years.
She was seated between Wallis Day and Nicole Kang so there
as some good-natured banter between the three. Wallis and Nicole recognized me from
the previous day so I think everyone was relaxed and I just watched the exchange. It did seem there was a lot of respect
between them and they enjoyed hanging out at the convention.

I had no expectations when I walked up to Nicole Kang’s table. Her line was short and seemed to be moving quickly. I was just adding another name to my collection.
Just as I was about to pick out a photo, her ‘convention manager’
walked up to me with a smile. This is the person that books the conventions for
the actors. I have seen her over the
years at various conventions. At times, she is busy and we just nod or wave
from afar. Sometimes we never make eye contact. And sometimes, like this day,
we chat. I excused myself from the line
and chatted. It was a good chat. We talked at least 5 minutes. A lot of different
topics. It’s good to see a friendly face in a strange city.
When we were done, I got back to the end of the line. Nicole was extremely friendly and funny. She added
the quote which I loved. In fact, Wallis
Day wandered to look at what was happening.
Then we chatted about Atlanta, DragonCon, working with Wallis and how
Rachel Skarsten was everyone’s favorite (Rachel hadn’t shown up yet), so they
were teasing her in absentia.
Just before I left, she stuck her hand out under the plexiglass
barrier and we shook hands. That was very sweet in the days of COVID.

Another Batwoman actor. Yes, I got something from Krypton instead of Batwoman. I liked this photo better. And of course, because I picked the Krypton photo, Wallis Day chatted about Krypton…and I nodded like I knew what she was talking about. Never saw the show. You can add this show to the list of shows I’ll watch someday.
She has a disarming smile and while she talked I just kinda
zoned out. She has a sense of humor. I tried making a joke and she just batted
it back and told me to try again (with that gorgeous smile).
She spent time in front of her table with her fans and she
chatted with her fellow cast members and dragged them into the conversation with
the fans.
Really enjoy this getting this autograph.

The TV series Batwoman was well represented at DragonCon. I picked up these three from the series: MeaganTandy, Camrus Johnson, and Sam Littlefield.
Of course, all three were nice. The one tidbit that stands out
the most was Sam and his signature. He added a mouse head. After he added it, he paused and reviewed his
work. Showed it to his handler. Then said that this time it actually looked like
a mouse. Then he added he was getting
better. The previous days it looked like a ‘__ ‘ with a face on it. The handler nodded in agreement. I won’t repeat what he
said. But it was funny.
