Hello Danger Geek fans! Here we are at the Wizard World Chicago Comic Con.
After a long trip, we all made it safely, minus a small complication with a parking break at a gas station. The traffic on I-90 was horrible but we kept ourselves entertained through delirium-induced dialog and conversations with vehicle drivers that would never be heard. I even learned a bit of Chinese along the way (Ni Hao).
Once we arrived, we picked up our press passes at the convention center. Here’s a view of the activity outside the exhibit hall as we were waiting for our passes.
Halbert and Ryan opted to walk throughout the exhibit hall while the rest of the crew headed back to the hotel to get settled in. Highlights from their exhibit hall excursion include speaking with Kynt and Vyxsin from the “Amazing Race”, Jamie Kovac of the “American Gladiators” and Martin Klebba of the “Pirates of the Caribbean”. Fast forward a few hours later and we all got back together to get something to eat.
After dinner, we headed back to the hotel, grabbed a drink from the bar (image below) and started filming the first episode of “The Danger Room”
We streamed the filming of the show live from our website. We had some great outtakes and finally got the primary footage completed for the show. We have a fair amount of editing ahead of us but look for the first episode of “The Danger Room” to be released this Thursday.
Going into day #2, we are looking forward to various panels, such as the “Cabonauts” panel with Nichelle Nichols (Uhura), the Q & A with Michelle Rodriquez (“Avatar”, “Fast and Furious”) and meeting Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters). And of course, the after hours festivities are going to be fun.
