Lou "The Hulk" gave a very nice talk about his career, from start to present. He answered questions and gave very detailed answers about his journey. I am looking forward to the several movies that he has coming out soon.

I worked along side Jake Busey as he met his fans, on Friday. He was very happy to shake hands and chat with his fans. He took ALL of the questions and answered them nicely (even though some questions might not have been appropriate). He shared some personal stories with me and we got to know each other. We both live in LA, and my husband had even gone to a house party of his once. All in all, I enjoyed my time working with Jake. He signed a Starship Troopers poster for me and wished me well for my time in ABQ

I loved this photo op, so did everyone else. The young children thought it was so great to stand next to Darth Vader and have their parents take their picture. I saw the storm troopers shopping a bit later. I enjoyed hearing them talk with the vendors. What made it great was the microphone/intercom that they had to talk through. They were carrying on an everyday conversation through a speaker. I thought it was pretty funny, but maybe you just had to be there.

I had never seen a "Meanie" before. Being a collector of "beanies" in my youth, I thought these were GREAT. This one was my favorite! I know they were being offered- for a donation for the little boy with medical needs. I do hope that donation booth was a success.

I was able to sit in on Brent "Data" Spiner's panel discussion. It was very obvious that he is in the right profession. He worked the room, advertised his newest project, and never let there be a dull moment. He polled the packed room as to where to get the best New Mexican food. I think he was satisfied with the MANY answers he got. As an observer, I was happy that he took that poll. I am new to town and actually wrote down some of the most popular answers. I was most impressed with the impersonation that he does of Patrick Stewart. It was amazing!
