Orlando Jones ComicPalooza 2018

While the line wasn’t long for Orlando Jones, it was slow. Not molasses slow like the lines in Dallas but slow. Orlando was enjoying himself. While his language was not rated G, he was very friendly and very inclusive with his conversations.  He ‘Facebook Live’ at least once and has his handler Twit a few times. He was taking pictures of the fans so he could post them later. It was energetic and fun.

I brought my American Gods poster from SDCC. He knew what that was and how and where I got it.  He appreciated the effort and that I wanted him to also sign it. He mentioned he missed that SDCC because he was in Africa.  But he was a fan of San Diego.  He reminded me he was the minister marrying nerds at the SYFY location last year. Yes, he is ordained.  And yes, he was really marrying young geeks full of love.

After he signed my poster I had him sign a photo from Sleepy Hollow. I told him The Wife and I really enjoyed that show too.  He said he was proud of that part. It was so unlike himself.  He played a character that would not like the wise-cracking class clown that is Orlando Jones.

Sleepy Hollow #SDCC 2013

The drama of the Adrienne Barbeau signing caused this to be a blur. As I debated skipping out on Adrienne, this was the signing I wanted to attend.

The Fox booth line moves fast and I knew that. Lines are a mysterious and dangerous thing at SDCC.  Often there is no room to queue up at a booth.  The line will start somewhere that does not block pedestrian traffic.  Sometimes that line is out of sign of the booth.

The people managing the line for Fox on the expo floor were not very helpful.  I’m not sure if they are volunteers or just low level flunkies that didn’t care but they struggled with line management.  They told me that the signing hadn’t started when it had.

Regardless, I worked through the confusion and the line and got my autographs.  The big name for me was Orlando Jones. I’m very happy he was there.  Earlier in the day, I missed a booth appearance for him.  I just couldn’t get back to the booth in time.

Because this was a blur and I was trying to get back in time for the other signing, I have no real clue who signed.  I don’t really remember much.  I’m pretty sure I got Tom Mison,  Nicole Beharie (who is stunningly beautiful – I do remember that) ,  Orlando Jones,  Alex Kurtsman,  Roberto Orci,  and Len Wiseman.  Maybe Philip Iscove too...maybe.  I know there are 8 signatures on the poster. I do know Clancy Brown was NOT there. I would have geeked out all over him and then Adrienne would have been forgotten.

At the end of the line, I even got a nice t-shirt promoting the series. That shirt has since gone to the neighbor girl that cat sits for us.
