Throwback to my first Dragon*Con in 2008. I had heard the year before that the Colonial Fleet after party was wild and some of the cast showed up. If I remember correctly the bartender didn't show up to the party so Jamie Bamber filled in. So it had been a long day and I was there with all my friends and they got tired of waiting for the cast to show up and left. I decided to stick around and my patience has never paid off quite like this. Eddie gave a long speech expressing gratitude to the fans. There were lots of SO SAY WE ALL chants. Truly one of the most fun nights of my life.

Oh and as a bonus I threw in a picture of Michael Hogan and myself. I brought the props to the photoshoot and before I said anything he said, "Oh I know what were doing with these!" Smash cut to a few days later at the con when I had picked up my photo. I took it to his booth to show him how it came out and how great it was. He asked if I wanted an autograph and I said I couldn't afford it and just wanted to show him the pic. He scoffed and said, "frak it, you're getting an autograph".

Being a part of the BSG fan community while the show was airing and meeting the cast at Dragon*Con several times will always be some of my most cherished memories.

One of my best friends from high school recently hit me up to say he finally found photos of him with Adam Driver when they were in the Marines together. He had hit me up years ago telling me the story and saying he was hoping to find pics someday. This would have been in 2001 or 2002. My friend, who is in both pics but not Adam, was a big Star Wars fan when we were in high school. I remember we had an overnight lock in for a play we were doing and a bunch of us stayed up all night playing with lightsabers throughout our dark and empty school. Small world.
