The weekend after I got back from the Vegas Star Trek convention,
I attended a local show in the Old Lewisville Mall called Dallas Comic Show.
For a local show, they had a nice list of actors and artists. I picked up three autographs.
The first was Ty Olsson. While I already have him, the
previous photo was from The 100. I wanted
something from Supernatural. When he signed, we chatted about DragonCon. Not a
week later he appeared on the DragonCon guest list. I will claim responsibility for that. He must
have realized how much he enjoyed Atlanta and decided to go back.
The next was Jonathan Lipnicki who my wife instantly remembered
was in Jerry Maguire. As an adult now, he doesn’t look like the child in the movie.
I found him friendly and full of positive energy.
The last was Lexi Rabe, who is Tony Stark’s daughter in Avenger’s
End Game. She was coloring as I stopped
at her table. Her mom asked her to clean up so she could sign a photo. Lexi took a bite of her apple before picking
up a red sharpie and getting to the serous business of signing an autograph. I’m assuming the blonde next to her was mom. She leaned over and whispered a copy of things
to Lexi and she nodded. She spent considerable time filling in the heart and
ensuring she did no outside the lines. Like I said, she did turn serious when
she did this.
While the inscription might look like I love 43k…it’s I love
U 3 k. She added that without asking. I was happy to meet her.
