(I hope I didn’t miss anyone.)
So who am I personally excited about?
True story: My mom always tells me that she thinks I love Science Fiction because when she was in the hospital for me to be born, she watched Buck Rogers. The rockets and planets and lasers must have traveled from her eyes down to my then-unborn brain and turned something on. For this reason, I am excited to see Erin Grey and Gil Gerard.
And, I’d be lying if I didn’t say it’ll be sweet to see Mr Shatner. He’s freaking James T Kirk. The original Star Trek holds a campy place in my heart and I’ve never had the chance to see Shatner besides TV, so this is a big win.
Like most people, I loved Up!, and I’m really hoping Ed Asner brings some good stories and insights behind making that movie.
My favorite Star Wars character growing up was always Bobba Fett. That dude got stuff done when the Empire couldn’t, and he did it his way. Can’t wait to see the man behind that mask.
And I’m not just excited for actors. There are a few local authors listed that will be good to finally meet. Kevin Hearne, Jon S Lewis, and Tom Leveen are on my radar to shake hands with.
So what about you?
Who are you excited about?
Anyone you’re still hoping they announce?

Excited for George Perez! Raven from the New Teen Titans is my favorite character. It has also been my outfit for the past two years.
You wearing it next year too?
Of course! Planning on making it a 3 day costume change Raven -> Evil Raven -> White Raven.
