So, just a few short years ago they started doing a comic book/entertainment convention in my town (Calgary AB Canada).

It's been pretty fun, I've gone for 3 years now.

All of a sudden this year it has exploded, and I'm worried that it will be ridiculously full.

The guest list is retarded.

The full cast of Star Trek TNG (including the dreamy @wilw, swoon)
Adam West
Stan Lee
Robert Englund
Gil Gerard
James Marsters
Billy West/John DiMaggio

And all sorts of other awesome folks.

How did this happen?

They did it all for you, says I.

Wait a minute!  This may be off topic but you're from & live in Calgary yet you're an Oilers fan?!  How is this possible?

Pffff closet.

I wear my Oilers gear (and Riders gear) all the time.

I hardly know anyone in Calgary who is from Calgary.  And the only Flames fans I know are only Flames fans when they are winning.
