Fan Conventions - Have you been?
Have you been to a Fan Convention before?
Is there a television show you absolutely LOVE?
Do some research and you may surprise yourself.
There are Fan Conventions all over the world for Popular Television Shows (even movies)!
I know there have been and in some cases still are Conventions for the following:
Star Trek, Zena, Buffy, Harry Potter, The Twilight Saga, Stargate SG-1, Supernatural, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries.
There are also Conventions that bring genre's together (fantasy, comics, anime, movies, television, etc.)..
Comic Con, Dragon Con and Mega Con are just a few examples of what you can find in the US.
I have been to fan conventions for the Twilight Saga and The Vampire Diaries.
Stars, Fans, Autographs, Photo Ops, Q&A's and Special Events...this could definitely be a memorable experience for the Fan in you.
Meeting other fans is a definite high point. I now have friends from all over the country. Even France, England and Canada. These are people you can talk to about your favorite show/s and they share the same feelings. I know I have friends who are not into the tv I watch and the movies I love.
Photo Ops are memorable. In addition to getting the photo, you will have however many seconds with this Actor who plays a character you see every week.
Now, try not to get tongue tied! I have seen it all. People Fainting, Crying and Fanning Themselves....even me, I was tongue tied when I got my "Salvatore Brothers" Photo OP.
I walked off "fanning" myself. Have you seen me on YouTube yet? I'm there...eeekkk
Search "eyecon commercial" go to 1 minute 47 seconds and you will see me in all my star struck splendor.
Q&A's are another high point of the weekend and my Favorite part!
Especially when the Stars are paired together or in groups. They play off each other, share fun stories and have fun together! It is very common to hear stories about being on set, pranks, favorite moments, etc..
Dances, Costume Contests, Breakfasts and Dinners are some special events you can find at con's. They normally include appearences by con guests and often have special themes. A Fun Time all around!
Sooooo are you ready to go to your 1st Con?
Take a Big Bite and venture to a Con.
Or Share a Bite!!

Once Upon A Time -vs- Grimm
A bit off the Vampire Topic, but still within the Supernatural Realm.
Both started the week prior to Halloween. Both revolve around Fairy Tales and/or Characters. Both are worth a try!!
Once Upon A Time, is set in the small town of Storybrooke, Maine. A small town where things don't change. That is until Emma Swan shows up.
I really enjoy the flashbacks (yes I am a fan) of each character as they are today and who they were.
The majority of Storybrooke's residents are of another time and have no memory of their prior life because of a curse.
Snow White, Prince Charming, Jiminy Cricket, The Huntsman, Rumplestiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, Mirror Mirror and of course the The Evil Queen....are just a few of Storbrooke's residents.
Grimm, is set in Portland, Oregon. A much darker series which is based around a cop who discovers he comes from a series of "grimms". Grimms are hunters who keep us safe by protecting us from supernatural creatures we don't even know exist in our world.
The Three Bears (Goldilocks), The Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstalk, the Queen Bee, Rapunzel, of Mice and Man and an Ogre are a few of the "creatures" we have seen at this point.
Have you watched both? Which do you enjoy more? Why?
I Love Once Upon A Time, but what can I say I am a kid at heart and I like the more colorful happier feeling of this series.
It seems like there's a new fairy tale character / resident introduced every week. I watch to see who it will be next.
I also like Ginnifer Goodwin (love Big Love & He's not that into you) and Jennifer Morrison (House & How I met Your Mother).
Grimm is finally starting to grow on me. I really didn't like it at first. It is so much darker then the other, not at all what I expected when I first gave it a try.
It really is dark in many ways. The story lines are about a city cop. The back drops are just dreary.
When Nick (Grimm) comes into contact with a supernatural creature it's face will morph into it's creepy creature form just for a moment.
I guess you just need to be ready for it.
I think everyone (female anyway) teared up when the heart was taken from someone who just wanted it back in Once Upon A Time.
Who can't feel for Nick Burkhardt's girlfriend Juliette who is starting to figure out something is not right with her once normal life. Strange things start to happen and people start lurking around the house.
An interesting Tidbit - I live in Maine....Once Upon A Time is based in a Maine town. I live in the Greater Portland Area...Grimm is based in the other Portland. I had to point that out!
Have a Bite and I'd LOVE your thoughts on these shows

My Intro to the Con World
July 2009 - I am in Dallas, TX as I am every July and spot a tote bag in a food court that says "TwiCon 2009 Dallas". What is that? I take out my phone and snap a photo. I would check this out on line when I get home. I have been a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant for over 7 years which is why I go to Dallas. In 2009, we switched to a hotel across the street. These two hotels are attached by a cat walk and my new hotel is the one houses the food court/ shops/ indoor skating rink I go to every year.
I did go home and two months remembered that photo. I looked up TwiCon and found out it was a Fan Convention for The Twilight Movie!! A convention, what? At my old hotel...NO WAY!! How did I not know about this phenomenon? Most everyone has at some point heard of the Star Trek "Trekkie" Convention, right. No one ever told me that other shows/ movies did this.
I kept reading and found out another was in the planning stage for 2010 and this time in two Locations. The first in June in Canada and the second in July in Las Vegas. As I read further I saw something that once again caught my eye. "VOLUNTEER" This convention needed volunteers and I had a lot of volunteer experience. I looked at the on-line application and went for it. I even checked off "Volunteer Committee Chair" in addition to "General Volunteer". At the time I had a lot of volunteer experience with local cancer events including chairing the activities committee for three years for my local Relay for Life. Two months later (Nov. 1) I got an email telling me I was accepted as the "Volunteer Fandom Chair"! I was excited, I was shocked and I was honored. I was chosen to be 1 of maybe 15 volunteer chairs to head a portion of a convention I love everything about. What?
Conference calls started and the excitement grew as I learned more. TwiCon 2010 was to include Twilight, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries (brand new)!My first task was to help with Author Day. This was my baby along with my second half in Canada. We were given a list of 26 authors and asked to do some research and add to this list. I brought the list up to 87 possible authors. I enjoyed scouring the Internet, reading about authors and deciding if I thought they would be a good fit. We got a late start so the interest was there, but availability not so much. Prior to March 13th I had received two head shots with bios and had 2 more on their way. It was an exciting start! I was asked to work on another task to help with some excel sheet tracking. Wow! I couldn't wait to go to Planet Hollywood and do this.
Sadly March 13th, 2010 TwiCon cancelled. I was very disappointed and still am sad when I think about TwiCon, the amount of time we all spent working together and the experience I was not able to take part in. I do thank TwiCon to this day for the opportunity they gave me. They introduced me to the Con World! They offered me the Chair Position that I loved every minute of for 4 1/2 months! They gave me a reason to go to Las Vegas and I still went anyway!
I have since volunteered two times with Creation Entertainment at their Twilight Conventions in Boston. I have volunteered twice with EyeCon at their two conventions for The Vampire Diaries in Atlanta and am going back for my third in March. I have no idea if I would have found out about the Con World other wise.
If you have ever thought about attending a Convention, consider volunteering! You'll meet some of the most AMAZING people who share the same enthusiasm and excitement as you do! This a Great experience and I know I look forward to the next Con in March!
If interested I can help point you in the right direction.
