My name is Trine, and I am a huge nerd. I'm coming out of the closet to profess my love for sci-fi and fantasy movies and television. It probably all started with Geordi LaForge on Star Trek: The Next Generation. I would run around the neighborhood as a child with my headband around my eyes to emulate my favorite television character. Buffy, Firefly, Dollhouse, Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog. There isn't a Joss Whedon venture that I'm willing to not try.
One of my deepest secrets is how much I LOVED the reboot of Battlestar Galactica. So when my good friend Jenny asked if I wanted to attend Comicon with her for 2 days in nerd paradise, I couldn't say no.
We had so much fun! I couldn't believe how many people were crammed into the Phoenix Convention Center. I went to some really great panels dealing with sci-fi on network television , Fantasy Young Adult Literature, and saw some of my favorite TV personalities in the flesh! Adam Baldwin , Wil Wheaton, and I breathed the same air! Alas, I couldn't take a picture with them unless I coughed up $60 bucks. However my favorite panel was with Aaron Douglas (The Chief) from Battlestar Galactica. He was hilarious!
The other thing that was great about Comicon was looking at all of the fabulous costumes. Here are a few of our favorites:
What would comicon be without a stormtrooper?
Meet my new boyfriend Darth Maul
He's no Hugh Jackman!
