What does that for you?
I should amend that to say I don't want to meet them up close and personal in that context.
The friend I was with had no such problem and was astounded by my reaction. I was a little too honestly. It was visceral. I couldn't get out of that aisle fast enough.
I think the primary problem is my own introversion. The awkwardness (for me) was extreme. It's not unlike going to a party and having to dredge up small talk. I'm terrible at it.
On the other hand, if I have some kind of conversational purpose that awkwardness is often stripped away. I attended with a children's librarian and our discussions with the writers etc. were very much driven by her interests. I found myself engaging as well with passion for the topic.
I think if I met Jim Beaver on a plane, for instance. I'd want to talk about our shared experience with loved ones who have died from lung cancer. I could probably find lot's of topics that I'd want to talk about with him.
It's not that the actors themselves are not interesting, I'm sure they all are. It's just for me, it isn't enough that I'm a fan of the character they play to get me past that initial awkwardness.
Also, at WonderCon, many actors were staring into space, trapped at a table, clearly wishing they were elsewhere.

In my opinion, that's bad form. If you're an actor appearing at a convention, you need to
act
like you're not bored out of your mind or wishing you were elsewhere.
I loved going to ComicCon last year. I wish we could go again this year, because the random celebrity-spotting at breakfast was fantastic.
Misha's friday tweet [link] still makes me laugh because I will always be twelve. I'm going to work assbutt into more conversations.
It's not a coda, it's an outtake, a deleted scene.
It really was. Boys! Ouch. I need them to be together now. I need Dean to know that Sam is okay. I need to know that Sam is okay.
"...you come find me." Damn allergies making it hard to see the screen.

In their defense, it was a very slow time. I think the aisle o'fame was an awkward set-up for them. With no one at their table, it was like going to the zoo, and here we have Lindsay Wagner, her character is unnaturally fast and is native to Ojai, CA; over here, Lou Ferrigno, his character is able to change colors when angered and puffs up green.
Actually Lou's table was mobbed. Go figure.
ETA: Sorry devolving thread into natter. Misha! His tweet is awesome. I really want to see him and Mark interact at a con (via a video on you tube).
First wedding pictures.
Let me know if you can't see them and I'll do a workaround.
(I'm sorry, but with that hair he looks like Boaz)
Hee! Is that his brother?
No, that's not Josh. I have no idea, but he's not dressed as a groomsman.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Danneel's dress, and of course, Jensen is so handsome! Thank you, Bev!
I'm pre-disposed to love chibis and these are no exception

Warning for emo God.
Man, I loves me some chibi!Supernatural. Thanks, ehab.
