Wednesday

I went to sleep at 1:30am I woke up at 5am. I carpooled with Mom to Anaheim and picked up the train there. My sister Carol wouldn’t be able to join me until Thursday. I really love taking the train. It is a way better way to travel, very pretty and relaxing.

When I arrived headed over to the Marriott for my first Starbucks of the day. Then I went to help the California Browncoat's booth. They didn't need me but I hung around for awhile. I couldn't check in until 3pm so afterwards I hung out at the Omni and I saw Zachary Levi walking by through the window. I waited until 3pm to get my badge. I was out in 13 minutes then I went to my hotel, finally made it to my room. I grabbed some food and relaxed.

It's very important to pace yourself.

Thursday

I woke up at 5:30 am which for me is sleeping in. The continental breakfast starts at 6 am. I shared a room with my friend Pamela and her 2 kids Robert and Danielle. We’ve been rooming together since 2007. Pamela has trouble standing for long times and has a disabled person attendant badge. I used it Thursday and that is how we got in early to Ballroom 20. As soon as I got in, I got out to get a restroom pass. I needed to connect with my sister Carol. She arrived Thursday morning and was getting her badge. I walked around the Sails Pavilion to see who was there. Various actors will set up a table and sell their autographs. I saw the sign for Richard Anderson. I thought not Richard Dean Anderson. Of course not, but when I saw who it was I was magically transported back to my childhood watching Oscar Goldman on the Six Million Dollar Man. He was the handler for the Six Million Dollar Man. I was star struck. I walked up, in awe, big smile; he saw me and smiled. I told him it was an honor and I was a fan. I shook his hand and he kissed mine. I told him I was looking for my sister, but I would be back. So off I went. Finally I saw her and her friend Andrew. He had a nice camera so he took a wonderful picture of Richard Anderson and me. I told him I wanted a picture and they told me it cost money since sometimes they don’t. I said I know I have money and I showed her my $20.

I returned to Ballroom 20 just in time, CBS has a new show that the presenter nicknamed Cyber Sawyer, the show is called Intelligence. It stars Josh Holloway with a great cast. It was the best pilot I've seen up to then. Most times you have to make allowances. This one was really strong out of the gate. I really enjoyed the CW's Star-Crossed Matt Lanter plays the Atrian or Tattie as they are called. He was brilliant on the panel. Someone asked the producers a question which stumped them and Matt just came in with an articulate answer; very smart and talented guy. Then I watched the Beauty and the Beast Panel. Love the show and enjoyed the panel. The Beast, Jay Ryan is from Auckland, New Zealand and it just bothered me that he sounded different; very talented and personable as well as handsome.

Then we tagged out. I used the bathroom pass and allowed Pamela's son in and she let his friend in who is a big Sherlock fan. Its hard sitting and watching video and panels it’s over stimulation. We came back in time for the X-Files 20th Anniversary Panel. I confess that I only watched a few eps. I missed the boat on this phenomenon. My sister Perla was the real fan. I was happy to see Chris Carter, David Duchovn
