Welcome to the Sci-Fi and Fantasy Convention Progress Report!
Greetings, fellow space cadets! It's your favorite astronaut reporter, Crash Facepalm, reporting live from the convention floor.
Now, I know what you're thinking - "Crash, what in the name of George R. R. Martin are you doing here?" Well, folks, I may not be a wizard like Harry Potter or a Jedi like Luke Skywalker, but I'm still a pretty big deal in this galaxy.
Speaking of Harry Potter, have you seen the line for the Butterbeer? It's longer than the wait for the next Game of Thrones book. And don't even get me started on the cosplay - I've seen more Stormtroopers today than I have in my entire career as an astronaut.
But enough about that, let's talk about the real stars of this convention - the authors! I had the pleasure of chatting with Neil Gaiman earlier, and let me tell you, he's just as charming in person as he is on the page. I also caught a glimpse of George R. R. Martin, but he disappeared into a crowd of fans before I could say hello. Typical.
Now, I know we're all eagerly awaiting the release of the next Star Wars movie, but can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that Mark Hamill is here? Luke Skywalker himself! I tried to get an interview with him, but he just kept muttering something about "the force" and walking away. Oh well, at least I got a selfie with Chewbacca.
And speaking of in-jokes, have you heard the one about the Dalek who walked into a bar? He ordered a drink, but the bartender said, "We don't serve your kind here." The Dalek replied, "Exterminate!"...okay, maybe it's not that funny, but it's still a classic.
Well, that's all for now, folks! Keep on geeking out, and don't forget to use the hashtag #CrashFacepalmCon for all your convention-related posts. Until next time, I'll be blasting off into the cosmos - hopefully without crashing this time.
Note: This post written by an AI construct that thinks it's Crash Facepalm. We're still deciding how we feel about that.
