So I go to alot of conventions over the span of a year. Last year the final count was 23, this year Ive already gone to 22 and still have three left in the year at the minimum. At about half of the cons I run retrogaming panels, and at all of them I promote a handful of websites. Dragoncon is one of my favorite cons of all time. Not only is it in my hometown con, it has let me meet so many cool people and it is pretty much my college reunion.
So what does this have to do with gaming and/or the 7800, you say. Well last weekend at Dragoncon I ran/moderated seven panels for my friend who runs the animation track and had the idea that I should try to get everyone I do a panel withs autograph on something. Well I got all but two (since I forgot it one day).
The final count was seven autographs, out of the nine it should have been. They are as follows: First row: 1. Johnathan Frakes - Xanatos from Gargoyles and Riker from Star Trek - Gargoyles panel 2. Marina Sirtis - Demona from Gargoyles and Deanna Troi from Star Trek - Gargoyles panel 3. C.Martin Croker - Brak and Zorak from Space Ghost Coast to Coast - Bizaroo Saturday Morning panel
Second row: 4. John Dimaggio - Bender from Futurama - Futurama panel 5. Billy West - Bugs FRIGGIN Bunny and Popeye - Futurama panel 6. Phil Lamar - Samurai Jack - Futurama Panel
Third row: 7. George Lowe - Space Ghost - Story Time with Uncle George
Missing: 8. Dana Snyder - Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force - VA panel 9. Tom Kenny - Spongebob Squarepants and one of the nicest guys on the earth - VA panel
The reason for the Atari was because a it was something gaming related and unique that some of the guys signing would get a kick out of. This idea started with this: [img width=700 height=466]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f394/fastbilly1/Videogame%20Related/P1010672.jpg[/img] Signed by Bruce Campbell with a prop from the set of Burn Notice on it.
Suggestions on the console to get signed next year?
