Wizard World
If you attended the Wizard World Chicago Convention you can share you thoughts on how your experience was there and everything that happened while you were there. If you didn't I'll be happy to tell you about everything that happened while I was there. You can also discuss any past Wizard World conventions you have attended as well as discuss
the future conventions.
I had an alright time, nothing spectacular really. I learned real quick that to have fun at this type of convention you need a lot of money to blow. Best part was when I was walking in a crowded hallway and turned to my right, only to see I was walking next to Josh Wheadon.
Oh and I think you made a mistake, because Smith and Wheadon were definitely there on Saturday.

They may have been there Sunday, but they were definitely there Saturday. I saw Smith talking with fans and Wheadon was getting pics taken with folks.
I don't know about that but I know that Kevin Smith did not have the autograph session and Josh Whedon did not have the Q & A on Saturday and I did not see them either one of them there on Saturday. Anyway who else did you see this past weekend?
I didn't bother much with the celebrities after Virgil (wrestling "Superstar" my ass) charged me $20 for an autograph. Considering the highlight of his career was some 15 years ago playing a joke character, I wouldn't quite say he was worth it 😉
One thing I noticed was that the guy who played Buck Rogers wasn't getting much attention, and seemed like he was miserable the whole time. In fact most of the celebs seemed like they were just waiting to get out of there, except for Kelly Hu who seemed genuinly happy to meet the fans.
It was actually kind of sad seeing Jackson Bostwick just sitting there with his head down and everyone passing him by. I didn't bother with Virgil instead I paid $20 and got a picture and autograph with Lou Ferrigno.
I also got a picture and autograph with Kelly Hu and I still can't believe how beautiful she is in person.
