This is gona be a long ass type up people...there is just soo much goodness to share...Where to begin..Im not gona bore you with my my travel details, simply i flew from Glasgow-Philidelphia-Cleveland.I arrived at 5pm friday made my way to the Wyndam Hotel which is in downtown Cleveland - which is a gorgeous city, truly Metropolis!.Met Angy - myfablexy and we snuck me into the hotel, it was originally only booked for one so we kept my being there a secret.
Previous to the con Angy had been in contact with the orginizers and asked if it be possible for her to do some journalistic work for her website whilst there they said that be okay....So when Angy arrived at the con on friday they gave her a press badge FOR FREE which ment she didnt have to pay the $30 for the con ticket.Imagine my surprise when i arrive and find out that i also get a press badge - i was acting as her translater..i speak no Italian..but if it gets me a press bagde then im all in.


Do you know how cool it feels to have a press badge - soo fcuking cool!! is the answer!The con was open friday so there were guests there..We saw Helen Slater - Supergirl/Lara-El , Sam Witwer - Davis/Doomsday and Edward John Olmos - BSG/Miami Vice.It was real quiet on the friday..so we had a look about got used to the surroundings,its not that big of a place all on one floor..but there is doors leading to places everywhere. Angy plucked up the courage to ask Helen Slater if over the weekend we could do an interview with her..she was really up for it and would be happy to, we just needed to clear it with Erin Gray who is also an actress aswell as the an agent/orginizer for/at the con.So she gave Angy the okay - it was only friday and we had scored 2 interviews for over the weekend!

On friday the family of Joe Shuster had a celebration in honor of his birthday..it was an emotional time for the whole family - Peter the son gave a speech just before the cake cutting...the SUPERMAN CAKE CUTTING.Not just some normal birthday cake..oh no..a hugge ass Superman logo cake,$5000 worth of cake.

 


We got cake too..it's not as if there wasnt enough to go around.


After having some Superman cake..we had a wander round the stalls..some old skool merchandise was on sale..but i was saving my pennies for Rosey.
It got to the point where i was sleep walking..i had been traveling for a good part of a day..so we called it a night..planned our attack stalking uhm schedule for the following day.I was in bed for 9pm..didnt even change out my clothes i was exhausted..but had a great 12hour sleep and woke up in Cleveland Ohio to meet my love Michael Rosenbaum....again.
