    I met Kristen Bell! :D

    I have to go to a Star Wars convention to meet some so totally non-Star Wars (Fanboys not withstanding). But, I'm a huge Veronica Mars fan, and a huge fan of Kristen, so it was really cool.

    I went to the Fanboys panel on Saturday, hoping to get a photo of her (or with her) as the panel ended. Unfortunately for me, as soon as the panel was over, she cut out of there quick! There was no opportunity whatsoever to get a photo.

    So, a little while later, in the dealer's room, I was walking around. I had just related to a friend (via cell phone), that I didn't have the chance to meet her or take a photo. About 5 minutes later, I'm walking past that booth that had the USB drives (near the Lego booth), and who do I see, but Kristen Bell! She was there with some of the Fanboys group. I thought about it for a minute, and decided to just go ahead and interrupt, and say hi. So, I did.

    I just politely said 'excuse me, Kristen?'. She turned around. I said to her, 'thanks for keeping me entertained on TV the last few years. I appreciate it.' She was very appreciative, said 'oh my god! Thank you!' (and, oh, put her hand on my shoulder!). I melted, as I said 'have fun!' and walked away. I didn't need an autograph or picture (the picture would have been nice!) - it was just nice to pass along my thanks, and see her smile because I said thanks.

    (Yes, I'm a 34 year old married man, gushing over Kristen Bell...oh well!) :)

    Anthony Daniels
    Bruce Spence
    Temeura Morrison
    Daniel Logan
    Bonnie Piesse (does anyone actually know the correct pronunciation of her last name?)
    Jake Lloyd
    Kenny Baker (I met him at CIII as well)

    Anthony Daniels (such an amazing person!)
    Kenny Baker
    Peter Mayhew
    Ray Park

    I definitely have to meet more of these guys at the next one. I loved getting those autos, I felt like I accomplished something. :)

    If you're referring to Nigel, he's actually ArchaicRebel. ;)

    I met Steve Sansweet, which was all that really mattered. [face_mischief]

    Actually, meeting celebrities isn't that big a deal to me. The real celebs were the people I was fortunate enough to party with.

    Hmm....
    I met several fanforce that I don't recall the names of, unfortunitly.
    (and to think, I meant to keep track of this, too)
    So I think the only two that I remember screennames of offhand were e-j and MrSkinnee, who seemed like he was getting a lot of value out of the bar at Celebrate.

    My best friend and I met Ray Park! We were excited to meet him because we jokingly call each other Qui-Gon and Obi, and Episode 1 is our favorite prequel...mostly because of the epic lightsaber fight. Oh man, those were the days.

    Anyway, Ray Park was such a cool guy! I expected to enjoy seeing the OT people like Carrie Fisher and Billy Dee more, but Ray Park was my favorite celebrity there.

    I ruined the picture by looking at the camera at the last minute...but that's okay. :D

    Since I'm new I met alot of people that I have never met here first so it was hard for me to remember names/screenames.

    If you met an overweight guy with glasses who's part of the RMFF, and you cant figure out where he came from, that was me. :) ;)

    As far as celebs, I met the following:

    Anthony Daniels (twice)
    Kenny Baker
    Jake Lloyd
    Bruce Spence
    Julian Glover
    Femi Taylor
    George who played George Lucas in last year's winning fan film.

    I think I met most of you. Sorry, I'm horrible with names. But it was a blast meeting you and having fun at the Fig. Too bad Uno was such a jerk or we would've stayed there too. :(

    I do have some of the party pics here:
