WonderCon 2007
Fans Flock to WonderCon 2007!
And A Good Time Was Had By All! WonderCon has a reputation of being a fan-friendly convention. Here’s a couple of quick chats with some of this year’s attendees about what they love about WonderCon!
Dylan
Garrett
Who are you? Dylan from Sonoma, CA, and Garrett from Vacaville, CA. Dylan works for Industrial Light and Magic, Garrett is an IT person for a major law firm in San Francisco. First time at WonderCon? Garrett: This is my first WonderCon. I brought my wife with me, too. Dylan: This is my third. My daughter is here as well and she will be doing both days, today and tomorrow. She’s dressing up as “Tank Girl.” It’s one of her favorite characters. Looking for anything in particular? Garrett: I’m a fan of almost everything here. Star Wars, Star Trek, Anime, a lot of the Japanese die-cast stuff. I collect a lot of that stuff, so that’s what I’m really here for. What did you see today? Garrett: Trekked around downstairs and went to see the Resident Evil thing. Dylan: I got to see the interview with the horror hosts earlier with Elvira, Mr. Lobo, John Stanley and those guys. That was cool. They all had a really good sense of humor, fans asking them questions, things like that. Really played along well. It was a good time.
Who are you? Donna from Healdsburg, CA and Lois from Fresno, CA First time at WonderCon? Yes for both. What did you see today? Lois: 300. Donna: Yeah, we both came for 300. But I spent yesterday in the Exhibit Hall, had a great time. Do any shopping? Donna: Oh, yeah! (Laughs) I had to go to the ATM twice. I got this T-shirt. I bought my first comic book, actually, in my adult life. Anita Blake Vampire Hunter. I was just thrilled to see they have it as a comic. There are actually four of them. I’ll probably go back and buy the other three today. I almost bought some earrings. I was amazed that there was jewelry in there.
