Welp, this past weekend was Comic Con in Philly, and as you can probably imagine it was pretty awesome for me.
I finally got to meet and get a signed autograph from the one and only David Tennant, the 10th Doctor from Doctor Who. He was as hilarious and charming as everyone expects him to be. Every single fan he greeted by name and also made some jokes along the way.
Saturday I got to see David Tennant and Billie Piper answer questions at their panel Q&A in the Terrace Ballroom at the PA Convention Center. On this day, I dressed as the the Tenth and traveled along with my beautiful TARDIS-dressed girlfriend, Katie. Was it a bit cliche for a con that featured a Doctor? Meh, I guess you could say so, but it was great nonetheless as other similarly dressed couple pairs smiled and nodded at us as passersby.
The next day was the day I've been waiting for since I got my David Tennant VIP ticket: On Sunday I got to meet David Tennant. On this day, I went as House M.D., and surprisingly enough a lot of people understood my costume with one woman heralding it as the best costume she's seen at Con--which is crap, by the way, but it was flattering nonetheless. The last time I went to Con, which was also the first time, I went as an extra from the Avengers. Everyone generally loved it because it was different. I was probably the only Dr. House costume at Con, which doesn't necessarily make it the best, just the least seen. I digress...
It was a big opportunity for me. I've never wanted to meet a star more than I have David Tennant, because, as I'm sure many of you know, he's not only a great talent, but he's also just ridiculously nice and generous! Although our time together was short, I will not forget the day I met, took a picture with, and got an autograph from David Tennant.
I also have no idea where my wry smile came from, but it's all here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153254446160915&set=a.10151931614625915.1073741825.621610914&type=1&theater
Overall, it was a great weekend. Now all I need to do is catch up on some sleep. *Snooze*
