Last weekend, The Nerd and I headed to the Dallas Sci-Fi Expo for a day of nerdy goodness.
Morena Baccarin (who played Inara on Firefly and Anna on V) was there signing autographs, along with Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackhoff from Battlestar Galactica.
We got to the event pretty early and wandered through the vendor booths looking at all the crazy things for sale.
There were *so many* vintage toys and comics and T-shirts.
This booth sold autographed photos from celebrities — they cost anywhere from $20 to $200, depending on the actor’s fame and the rarity of the autograph.
There were Stargate: SG 1 costumes and even an exhibit of baby vampire dolls.
Seriously. It was kind of odd.
But MY favorite thing? Definitely this “Future Captain” onesie.
I can totally see a little nerdling running around in one of those one day.
Outside the autograph area, there were several vintage games set up.
Aren’t they cool?
And there were so many people dressed as their favorite characters! The people-watching was worth the trip alone!
We were pretty worn out and didn’t really want to brave the long lines to get autographs (plus, they cost $35 each!) or to get a seat in the Q&A sessions.
So we were lame and just walked around a bit and then left.
The Nerd is *really* looking forward to seeing Stan Lee and Leonard Nimoy at Dallas Comic Con in May!
Thanks for looking!
Um, yes, my future nerdling is going to have one of those. Without question. Now I just have to find someone with whom to *make* a nerdling. Stay warm!
