As I took my first steps around the floor on preview night, I bumped into Seth Green. The little guy was in a hurry, so I didn't get a chance to talk to him. People were already dressed, slave Leias abound, and celebrities and press were interviewing people.

I was in the DC booth looking for exclusive Wayne Casino chips from DC's Flashpoint. After about 20 minutes of looking and not finding anything I decided to talk to Jim Lee. Mr. Lee was behind a counter talking to other people, so I approached him, shook his hand and felt honored to be in his presence (I like his art). He was playing with some chips in his hand, and I asked where he got it. They guy was nice enough to give them to me. I was so excited I, as a reflex of generosity, hugged him... awkwardly.

Later I met with Adam Hughes and talked about Doctor Who and other stuff and he drew a quick sketch of the Doctor. I continued to walk down Artist's Alley and stopped to talk with David Miller. We talked about, for like 20 minutes, about Conan and other fantasy stories and he showed me a couple of his sketches.

After all that, as I was leaving I cross paths with Lou "Mr. Hulk" Ferrigno. I went to him, shook his hand, and left with a sense of satisfaction and greater expectations of the next days. So this is just a quick summary of what happened. I'll have more pictures in the upcoming days. Overall, great day.

Thanks to my buddy Alex for the pics.

Awkward hug sounded awkward but cute.

Sounds like you had fun, thanks for sharing.

Lou is a great guy. Met him at Wizard World Chicago in 2006. Took some pics, got a couple autos and spent a few minutes talking. Wonderful experience.

@Robin - Yeah, you do have to repeat some things when talking to him. A little annoying but worth it. LOL
