I know I promised a write up of Dragon*con and I did on my live journal but some of the things I wrote about I wasn't sure I needed to share, I'm not sure the audience for this blog wants to read about which fast food outlets I sampled in Atlanta. But the Con was a hell of a lot of fun and I really wanted to write about meeting Eddie McClintock.
I wanted to talk about meeting Eddie McClintock. The guy is a complete rockstar. I got to chat to him at the convention and he's very sweet and funny. We got to talk about London, about Manchester and Factory records. He was okay with the mild flailing and generous with his time. He made my convention because whenever I encountered him, whether waiting for a lift, or in a panel he was happy to be there and soaking up the atmosphere. As an aside he does some amazing artwork and he's been designing t-shirts all of which are great. I love my purple goo 2010 Warehouse 13 t-shirt :D

What I like most about Eddie, is that he wants to interact with the fans. He responds to them on Twitter and facebook. He's certainly won me over as a fan and as such I feel much more loyal to Warehouse 13 as a show and I'm now forever telling people about it and recommending that they catch it when they can.
That's the pinnacle of fandom, as I interact in it, meeting the people who make the shows you love and then getting to talk to them and letting them know you appreciate their work.
Agreed. Eddie Rocks. We also had a similiar experience with him at Dragon*Con. The panels for Warehouse 13 and Eureka were the best we attended.
ReplyDelete@pottsfanatic Absolutely, such a nice guy and hilarious in panels.
ReplyDeleteHe really made my convention. Glad you had the same experience.
