Kirsten Nelson GalaxyCon OKC 2024

This was by far my favorite encounter at OKC’s GalaxyCon. Kirsten Nelson was not only fan friendly; she was embracing the Psych-o’s. She was taking her time and asking questions with every fan and listening to their answers.

A fan, a few people in front of me, had a cast poster from SDCC. Since she wasn’t at the convention, he was adding her name. He explained a little about how he got it.  She wasn’t aware of the raffle process and the slim number that were successful. Another fan brought the Psych book that some of the cast signed at another SDCC.  It was great to see these items. I never got close to winning those raffles.

The guy in front of me explained that he binged Psych while recovering from a recent illness. His mother was there.  Kirsten asked about his favorite episode. He panicked a little but she prompted him with some great suggestions (the T-Rex, or Yin Yang episodes, or the Spanish Soap Opera).  I forgot what he said as it made me think about my favorite.  It’s hard to choose.

As I handed over my photo, she asked my name. I told her. She introduced herself. We shook hands. Then I mentioned how much I enjoyed standing in line. It was great to see what other people were getting signed but also listening in to the conversations.

I decided I would tell her my favorite. It was the one with George Takei (who was also at the convention about 50 feet away from her). She laughed and said she really liked that one too.  It was because she gave birth...and the episode was really about her. We both laughed. It was my favorite nor only because I was big Trekkie but it was the first episode I watched. I wasn’t a viewer but my parents convinced me to watch this episode. They wanted to know if that was what ComicCons were really like.

We chatted some more (a really relaxed encounter) but as much as I would have liked hanging out more, I had more autographs to get and she had mor people in line.

Then she thanked me by name…and I paused. She remembered my name. I mentioned that and that I was really impressed. I so want that skill. She thanked me again and I left with a huge smile.

Timothy Omundson GalaxyCon OKC 2024

Another guest at Galaxycon that did both Psych and Supernatural was Timothy Omundson. Who doesn’t love Lassie and Cain?

This was a quick encounter. He was seated in his wheelchair with one hand in his lap but signed smoothly. He looked up and I said thank you.  He nodded back and then his handler started talking to me. I stepped out of the way and to continue with the handler.  It was UofA stuff.  Yes, I was wearing a UofA shirt. And Yes, it is the only shirts I own.

While there was more I would have liked to have said to Timothy, I was very happen I got to see him in person and get the autograph.

Kurt Fuller GalaxyCon OKC 2024

Another Psych alumni was Kurt Fuller. He is also a Supernatural alumni. Fans were getting his signature for both shows equally. I’ll admit, it was a tough choice. The image with the bear pushed me over the top to Psych.

Again, a very friendly and outgoing encounter. He was chatting with everybody and seemed to be enjoying himself. As I handed over the photo, he asked if I minded a phrase added. I said no. As I was watching, he said, don’t worry, he might be left-handed but he won’t smear the signature. And he didn’t.

As he handed it back, I said, I really enjoyed both Psych and Supernatural. I also told him the first thing I ever saw him in was Miracle Mile. He smiled not sure where I was going with that. I said it was such an odd character but it made me remember him ever since. He mentioned it was very low budget and sometimes they were filming commando style: no permissions or permits. Just filmed until they Police came. He mentioned it’s something of a cult classic and end up in some small theaters for a limited run.

Go check it out.

Maggie Lawson GalaxyCon OKC 2024

I’m up in my little room typing away for the blog. I check that door is closed and then I let out a puppy dog sigh of contentment when I see that I got Maggie Lawson’s autograph.  She was so cute and adorable and I have to admit I have a slight crush on her…a quick double check that the door is closed.  Another sigh….

I printed this photo but she also had it at her table. She looked lovely in person and was wearing some very cute glasses…which I commented on. She asked if I really liked them.  I said yes.  She mentioned she JUST started wearing them and wasn’t sure about the look.  I’m sure my opinion doesn’t go very far but I can say I gave her some fashion advice. Sigh.

Sage Brocklebank GalaxyCon OKC 2024

I hadn’t attended GalaxyCon before but what made it worth the 3-hour drive north to OKC was several members from the TV show Psych were in attendance.  The Wife and I have watched that series a few times and find the goofiness very adorable.

Sage Brocklebank was very nice and chatted with everyone. It didn’t need to be about Psych or his career. The young one in front of me made her own mask and he was asking about that and what else she had done.

He also had a nice selection of table photos. I looked for something to print but couldn’t find anything, so I was very happy about that.

Lastly, if you know me and earworms, I had the Psych theme song rolling through my head the whole day.
