It's been a few years since I've added to this collection. (Morena Baccarin had to back out of ComicCon to film 'Deadpool', but I'll try again another day.) Summer Glau came to the Minnesota Fan Fusion, and I went today.
What. A. Sweetheart.
Seriously, every 'Firefly' star I've met has been awesome. She asked how I was doing, and I flipped to the answer I always gave as a head cashier- that I was trying to stay out of trouble and batting my eyelashes. She didn't believe I could do that, and I'm not sure why. 
Her face was sad when she saw Ron Glass's autograph, as our dear Shepherd has left us, so we chatted about his awesomeness. As quick as I am with gab and puns, I have a tough time talking with celebrities.
Peter David was also there. I had loved this guy's show 'Space Cases' as a kid, and he was shocked because it was on a loooong time ago. He autographed my Aquaman volume and sold me another one not even in stores yet. He also admitted he created Dolphin to title a story 'Single White Female'.
Lots of great costumes. My favorite was the Nora from 'RWBY', who had an amazing replica of her hammer. Lots of Harley Quinns, an Indiana Jones, some Doctors, and plenty of people sporting 'Firefly' shirts. I do wish there had been a larger variety of swag, (mostly comics and art prints) but I dropped plenty of cash at a stand selling anime inspired tea.
I have to be careful with caffeine because it hits me like a semi truck, between my heart and blood sugar levels, so I mostly grabbed white and rooibos. However, there was also Sebastian's Morning Blend, which of course was an Earl Grey, so I had to pick that one up as an avid 'Black Butler' fan. (Lots of Sailor Moon blends- Roas, are you a tea drinker?)
Next up is RenFaire in two weeks, one of my favorite places in the world. My wallet's taking a beating this month- luckily I earn a LOT more as a lab animal attendant versus a head cashier. (Actually, I got assigned my own room of mice to look after. When handling animals, we have to wear lab coats as part of our PPE. I caught a glimpse of myself in a window in the hallway, and with the lab coat and my hair tied up in a bun to stay in the caps, I looked pretty spiffy.)
