Ah man, I had fun at Galaxy Con this year. I went not expecting to meet anyone as lines are always long but I managed to greet four.
I'm a nervous wreck with meeting people in public. No problem when I work with customers though.
I still can barely get over meeting Derek Steven Prince years back. Him and the staff had waved off the person in front of me and literally every head turned dead smack at me. Felt like an episode of the twilight zone. I definitely flubbed over whatever I had originally planned to say.
Today, Chris saw an opportunity and threw me to Clifford's booth. Putting me on the spot had me turn beet red. He was sweet and tried making a topic of pokemon thanks to my ghost pokemon shirt. I didn't have much to say, looking back I wish I had at least spoke about Bakugo a little. I like other characters he also voiced but my mind was blank. Mentioned how Gengar and Chandelure were my favorite pokemon and he brought up how he is working towards perfect stat his shiny litwick in pokemon go.
We toured the dealers and struggled our ways through artists alley (would think they had learned from last year's of how tight those booths are)
Was surprised to find Taliesin Jaffe was free. I had to make split second decision...
Last year I got to see Laura and Travis but was unable to obtain autographs and my idea was to use the blank cards from The Mighty Nien tarot cards to sign for me and my irl bff. Since I didn't get theirs last year, figured I wouldn't be able to get the trio this year.
So I found a group image of Vox Machina and got a copy for my friend and me. Taliesin was a pleasure to talk to, wish I could've said a bit more, like about Bells Hells and such. Hearing him with other fans, he sounded like he was having a blast.
Might as well try to get Liam and Sam right next to him.
Liam was kind, even shook my hand. I didn't have much to say and could tell the weekend had been long for him.
Then it was Sam... He was polite and a bit of that actor flair about him. Spoke briefly asking the general "enjoying the convention?" Didn't respond much with my reply.
It wasn't until I left the table did I realize my mistake....
I saw so starstruck by Taliesin that I fail to notice the character group wasn't from season 1... So there was no Scanlan... And Sam said not one word of it...
My hands were trembling for a good while after...
