[bigrob]

Lisa Marie Varon is added to Chicago.

If anyone can get Adam West, Lou Ferrigno, Richard Roundtree, and William Shatner together in one photo, that would be awesome.

Thanks to bigrob for confirming my accurate post.

Many of the usual convention wrestlers are booked through this agency, and they have an appearence list, which is where Tara is listed for this show.

Looks like you can add Christy Hemme and UFC somebody Shonie Carter.

I went to Wizard World last year on Sunday and Hemme left early cause she hardly had anyone at her table. She's been in the area before and some of those prices at WW can be steep.

45 bucks for a pic with the Rodriguez girl. Alot steep.But I 'm sure someone paid it.lol I might go to this.It might be fun.

[Greg]

My observation is that the wrestlers fees, while high, are no where near as bad as the "real" celebrities, and especially with actual sports stars. Still, I will be more selective than last year.

[The Thread Killer]

You forgot Bushwacker Luke. I think it would be fun if they sat him next to Shieky.

[PoisonousAnchovie]

Bushwacker Luke was a lot of fun last year. I brought my twin neice & nephew who dressed up as Princess Lea and Darth Vader. Luke gave them a brief history lesson on Australia. My neice was worried cause I kept joking that Luke would lick her. I showed them old Bushwackers matches.

It is fun to walk around and watch all the adults and kids dress up. They have a cool costume contest for kids. I agree with Greg about being more selective on who I meet. Prices can be steep and it doesn't help when they charge $30 per adult and $13 to park. Least you can get 2 kids in free under 10 with 1 adult ticket.

Shonie Carter! good deal. He KO'ed Matt Serra with a highlight-reel-worthy spinning backfist: one of the best KOs in UFC history.
Bummed that Lisa Marie Varon (formerly: Tara) probably won't have Poison with her again.
I'd pay for anchov's photo op with that insect sweetie.

I saw someone bring this up on Facebook in discussion of Heather's event, and after a little, ahem, research, found out what was done.

Gail Kim and Christy had a special photo op after the event's main hours for Steel City Con in 2007. For $50 each, you could have a polaroid with one or both of them in bikinis, along with your own camera. The polaroid would then be autographed, and it was limited to just 50 people.



The prices for most of the wrestlers there are in the 15-25 range, along with combos. Would $50 for this be fair or foul?

[howeirdhowie]

Maybe worth it if Gail sits on my lap. Otherwise, too pricey, especially for a Polaroid.
