I think I have to go all the way to my first(and only for a few years) back in like 2003 when it was still easier to get in........LUCKY: Went on a whim because Eliza Dushku was going to be there for Tru Calling(man the memories) and I was hoping to meet and get a pic and autograph because she was a huge crush of mine. While in the panel room waiting for the chance to go to sails and try and get an autograph....naive I was of how easy that would be(yes I never got it) I got to sit through a panel for some guy named Quentin promoting Kill Bill!!! Nice little treat. It’s not sexy but luckiest thing for me so far as everything else that’s been really great I usually was able to accomplish with patience and planning. UNLUCKY: locking eyes with Jessica Chobot one Preview Night and her not getting love at first sight lol. Oh and lotteries. Any of them.
Ok, here's my lucky tale. I'm a fan of the 80's horror film Night of the Creeps. The Director, Fred Dekker, was on hand at a small-ish Sony booth signing an exclusive DVD cover (this was a few weeks before it was to be released on DVD for the first time). At the booth was an 8x10 piece of paper taped up that said "ask about Boondock Saints focus group'....so I asked. They were looking for people to sit in on a discussion of likes and dislikes of the film as well as getting our opinion on concept artwork and the trailer for the upcoming sequel. As a thank you for our time, participants would be invited to a private meet and greet with the cast at The Tilted Kilt (R.I.P. I miss that place) where they'd be signing posters and taking pictures. The only downside was that there was no way we could do the focus group and make it back to the panel for Boondock 2 in time. BUT....private meet and greet. My fiancée and I went to the focus group and that night got to meet the cast. The best part was after it was all over, we were hanging out in the bar area wondering where one friend had wandered off to. Then my phone rang. Our missing friend April was having beers with David Della Rocco and to get our asses over here now! We raced over and for the next 90 minutes we hung out like old friends. We all got pretty toasty. As the night ended and Rocco was leaving, he said, 'from now on, whenever you toast, you toast to Rocco first.' We still do that to this day.And all because I'm a huge fan of Night of the Creeps!
Here’s mine:LUCKY: We were at the Star Wars panel where we got to go to the secret concert and while we were being escorted by the storm troopers, we were outside of Hall H stopped in foot traffic when the cast drove by us and they all stopped and talked to us from their cars. I have video of Mark Hamill coming to a stop next to me and rolling his window down and asking if we were all having a good time, and Daisy Ridley high fived me from her car.UNLUCKY: I flew the day of the Great Southwest Computer Crash in 2016 that cancelled every flight to San Diego. I spent the ENTIRE DAY getting from SF to SD. We had to pay $260 each on another airline that had a transfer in PHOENIX. It would have cost us even more money but I had overheard a Southwest employee say they were cancelling the flights before it was officially announced so I had gone online and bought those other flights just to make sure we could get there (the price doubled after I had completed check out). We were originally supposed to fly at 130. We got in at 11pm.
Whoa that was my unlucky event we end up paying virgin 260 one way to lax and drive down..I end up in SD at 200 in the morning eating dennys
