Jason @ Comicpalooza in Houston - 3/27/2010

Aww, man! I was hoping you both would be there.

[Lilly]

Now that would be cool, wouldn't it?

[allegrita]

Let's blame francis for not going!

[francis]

If you pay my expenses...

[allegrita]

Um..... no, I wish I could, though. I blame you for the fact that I can't afford it!

(And now I'll mod myself and say, Get back on topic, Alle!)

So... who else is scheduled to be there?

[Lilly]

Well, Alle, I could suggest you click the link in the first post ... ... but I'll go ahead and list a few for you, since you just modded yourself.

In addition to Jason and Francis, celebrity guests include...

Nicholas Brendon -- who played Xander on Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Bruce Campbell
Tyrese Gibson -- from the Transformers movies and 2 Fast 2 Furious
Brea Grant -- from Heroes and Rob Zombie's Halloween II
James Hampton -- who I know best as bugler Dobbs from F-Troop
Dichen Lachman -- from Dollhouse
Jim MacKrell -- sportcaster and actor
and Peter Mayhew -- Chewbacca!!!

and others.

Thank you, dear Lilly.

So... on to my next dumb question... what do most of these people have to do with comics? I mean, I know there are Buffy comics, and Transformers and Star Wars are obvious. Hmm... actually, Heroes is obvious, too. I think I just answered my own dumb question...

[Lilly]

Francis has the Heroes tie-in, as well. I'm not sure what Jason's connection is, but ..um.. who cares??

I'm still wondering if this may have something to do with the new Disney video game. Or, maybe it's just because he' s a realy cool guy.

I just received this reply to my inquiry about Jason's appearance at Comicpalooza:

Lilly,

Jason did not specify which day he was willing to attend. We are waiting on that information ourselves so we can book travel this week. We'll have it on the website as soon as we know. Thanks for contacting us!

In my reply, I did suggest that they change his bio information to say that he played a 400-year-old vampire rather than he "spent time with a vampire."

Yeah, 'cause that sounds a little weird...

Don't you mean he was a 400-year old vampire?

Excellent point, NM...

I still don't see a schedule.
