Just a reminder, there are alot of pictures :)Day 2: Pat on the trolley[Image] Me and Karri (on the trolley) [Image] Pat with a life sized Jabba the Hutt [Image] The first panel that we went to was for Battlestar Galactica. Usually you have to wait in line for a long time to even get into the rooms, so we went early, got in, and watched part of a panel discussion about a new TV show called "KINGS". It sounded interesting. But the best part was that Greg Grunberg from "Heroes" was the moderator!! (picture #1) Then picture #2 are people from BSG!! R-L: Dr. Kevin Grazier (scientific advisor for the show), Tom DeSanto (he was going to make a BSG of his own!), Richard Hatch (actor on the original BSG, now on the new one also. And whom I got my picture with that I already posted), and Bear McCreary (composer for the show, I have some of his music in my playlist) [Image][Image]
Afterwards, Karri and I ran downstairs and outside and got in line for the "Twilight" panel. We waited for at least 30 minutes or longer to get in. But we made it!! There were so many crazy girls there with home made Twilight shirts, it was funny! (This is us in line) (We were sharing my iPod, listening to "Dr. Horrible's Sing A-Long Blog")[Image] We got in for the panel and "Twilight" was grouped in with 2 other movies. "Push" that is starring Djimon Hounsou, Chris Evans (from Fantastic 4), Camilla Belle (from 10,000 BC) and Dakota Fanning, she was stuck in traffic and missed the panel. The first picture gives a sense of how big the room is, the middle bottom of the picture is the actual stage, then there are5 big screens so we could see what was going on on the stage. I think that room held 1500 people. There was another movie that they talked about called "Knowing" with Nicholas Cage, but no actors from the movie were there. [Image][Image]Then it was "Twilight" time / Group picture (Catherine Hardwicke (the director), Stephenie Meyer, Edward, Bella, James, Victoria, Laurent, Jacob) [Image][Image]Stephenie Meyer / Taylor Lautner "Jacob" [Image][Image]Kristen Stewart "Bella" / group shot of "Edward" "Bella" and "James" [Image][Image]Robert Pattinson "Edward" [Image]Afterwards there was a panel for "Race to Witch Mountain" that has Carla Gugino and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. It looked fun. I remember watching the original movies when I was younger, so it will be fun to see the new one. When they were done we got to see a trailer for "TRON 2". It was totally amazing!! I am so excited, but it won't come out for at least another year :([Image] Are you tired of my post yet????Afterwards we went to the floor and I found a display for the upcoming Indiana Jones toys!! I am so jazzed about it! So Karri took my picture with the toys :) They are doing 3 sets from "Temple of Doom"(in september) and 3 sets from "Last Crusade" (in october)[Image] Indy & Willie Scott / Short Round & Temple Thug[Image][Image]Mola Ram & Temple Priest / Indy & Elsa Schneider [Image][Image]Indy & Henry Jones / Grail Knight & Col. Vogel [Image][Image] This is the front of the Mattel booth. A giant Castle Grayskull. Needless to say, Pat was very excited about it.[Image] Here is Pat with the Cylon. [Image] And us horsing around. [Image] There was a fun Star Trek booth that had a replica of Captain Kirk's chair. So we each took a turn in it. [Image] [Image] And that's it for day 2. Stay tuned to more pictures from days 3 and 4!
