Convention Fans

Every year I watch the guest announcements for Dragon*con like a hawk, eagerly hoping for certain guests to be added to the list. I’ve been going to conventions for years, so I’ve got a nice collection of autographs from stars across all kinds of fandoms. And the more conventions I attend, the fewer guests on my “OMG want to meet someday!” list. After many years, it seems I will finally get to meet Patrick Stewart and Leonard Nimoy at Dragon*con this year (still waiting on an official confirmation on the Stewart rumor).  But I do keep a “dream” guest list tucked away - a list of actors, actresses, directors, and producers I’d absolutely love to see at a convention someday, no matter how unlikely.

What I want to know from you, dear readers, is who is on YOUR dream convention guest list? Is it that sexy minx Megan Fox from the Transformers movies? Is it Scottish dream boat Ewan McGregor from Star Wars? George Lucas himself? Harrison Ford? Milla Jovovich? No matter how outlandish or impossible - tell me who you’re secretly praying will one day attend a convention near you.

Here’s some from my list (which excludes Nimoy/Stewart):

- Johhny Depp (Pirates, Sweeney Todd, Edward Scissorhands, etc.)

- Tim Curry (Rocky Horror Picture Show)

-  Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

- John Barrowman (Doctor Who/Torchwood)

- Alexander Siddig (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)

- Joss Whedon (Creator of Firefly and Buffy: The Vampire Slayer)

Unfortunately, there are some actors and fandom guests I did not get to meet before they passed away, which means there’s no chance of ever meeting them (even in my wildest dreams). Gene and Majel Roddenberry and DeForest Kelley immediately come to mind.

There you have it! I’ve shared my dream guest list! Now tell me who is on yours!
