of Event: March 22 and 24, 2019 Location of Event: Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY March 22:\u00a0 Another day for the book.\u00a0I met actors Val Kilmer, Michael Biehn, and wrestlers Edge and Christian at Lexington ComicCon.\u00a0For those of you who don\u2019t know, Val Kilmer has starred in many movies, including Real Genius, Top Secret, Top Gun (Top Gun 2 next year), Willow, The Doors, Thunderheart, Tombstone, Heat, Batman Forever, The Island Of Dr. Moreau, The Saint, The Ghost And The Darkness, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (hilarious), and so many more. The most recent movie I saw him in is The Super. Very good thriller.\u00a0He did not speak much because he\u2019s had voice issues ever since he had throat cancer a few years ago.\u00a0He\u2019s cancer free now, but it did mess up his voice. But he was all smiles and in good spirits.\u00a0He definitely loved my shirt, which I bought on his website. He kept pointing at it.\u00a0When I got him to sign a picture of him from the movie The Saint, I basically just told him that I loved him. And he just smiled.\u00a0It was a pleasure meeting him and when I go back to Lexington ComicCon Sunday, I\u2019ll get a solo picture with him.\u00a0The other man in the picture with Val and I is Michael Biehn.\u00a0For those that don\u2019t know, he starred in The Terminator, T2, Aliens, The Abyss, K2, Navy Seals, Tombstone, The Rock, The Magnificent Seven TV series, and much more.\u00a0Of all the celebrities I\u2019ve met, he\u2019s definitely one of the best.\u00a0He is a total class act. He spoke to me for at least five minutes and he did this with each fan that came to his table.\u00a0When he first saw my shirt, he said \u201cI normally don\u2019t associate myself with people who wear a shirt like that, but in your case, I\u2019ll make an exception\u201d.\u00a0What he meant was that the shirt I wore is that of Val\u2019s character, Doc Holliday, in Tombstone. Michael played Johnny Ringo in Tombstone, and Val\u2019s character kills Michael\u2019s character in the movie.\u00a0So anyway, once he said that, my response was well if I had a Johnny Ringo shirt, then I would\u2019ve worn it. And he just laughed.\u00a0I got him to sign a picture of him from the first Terminator movie.\u00a0He told me all about this publicly picture. He said it was during a lunch, and he was just standing there posing for the photographer, while actress Linda Hamilton was sitting in the background.\u00a0I told him that for some reason, T1 still scares me. Then he said well I should listen to Stephen Hawking talk about Artificial Intelligence and that that is really scary.\u00a0But anyway, a long story short. Michael Biehn is someone anyone can talk to and feel comfortable with.\u00a0I also met wrestlers Edge and Christian.\u00a0I\u2019ve been a fan of these guys for the past 12 years when I got back into watching wrestling, although I basically once again don\u2019t watch it.\u00a0But I love these guys. Neither wrestle anymore due to injury but both guys are great and very friendly.\u00a0Well that was my Friday.\u00a0I work tomorrow and then I go back to Lexington ComicCon Sunday to again, get my picture taken with Val again (wearing a different official Val shirt this time), as well as one of my favorite wrestlers ever: Sting.\u00a0Great day!! I don\u2019t have enough of them.\u00a0For those who may think I\u2019m rich, I\u2019m not. I\u2019m actually quite broke most of the time. Most of my life is just waiting for the next long day because all are long.\u00a0So to keep myself going, I go to events like this and of course to concerts.\u00a0As broke as I am, I\u2019m still just making it happen for myself. And until I stop, I will continue.\u00a0March 24:\u00a0 Another fun day at Lexington ComicCon.\u00a0I met Val Kilmer again, Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy, and my second favorite wrestler since I was 9 years old: Sting!!\u00a0Sting signed a WCW Magazine from 1992 for me.\u00a0I told him I\u2019ve been a fan since I was 9. He said that\u2019s awesome thank you so much.\u00a0I thanked him for all he has done and that I know it didn\u2019t ultimately work out but that I was glad he finally went to WWE.\u00a0He said me too and thank you.\u00a0I received two hand shakes from him and when I got my picture taken with him, I again thanked him and that I love him. He said thank you I love you too.\u00a0It doesn\u2019t get much better than that for me.\u00a0Kevin Conroy is very nice too. He has done the voice of Batman\/Bruce Wayne for many years.\u00a0I told him the Batman Mask Of The Phantasm film, which he signed for me, still holds up and he said that it really does.\u00a0I thanked him for all his work and that I was glad he did The Killing Joke film too. He said that was wonderful wasn\u2019t it? I agreed and I got a Hearty hand shake from him.\u00a0And Val I was only going to meet today but since Michael Biehn was announced as initially appearing Friday (he later extended), I decided to get my picture taken with both Friday. See above for that info.\u00a0But I still went through with it and have no regrets.\u00a0Now before anyone says he looks bad, let me tell you: a few years ago he had a tumor in his throat.\u00a0Throat cancer.\u00a0He\u2019s cancer free now but it did mess up his voice. He can speak but it\u2019s not what it was.\u00a0But he is working with a vocal coach and is still working.\u00a0So give him a break.\u00a0He was in a very good thriller last year called The Super and his voice was good in it, other than just raspy.\u00a0And he\u2019s Iceman again in Top Gun 2, out next year.\u00a0I wore my official Val shirt of his movie The Saint today. He greeted me with a hand shake, arm around me, and all smiles.\u00a0Another good day. If only all were good. Most aren\u2019t.\u00a0Now I\u2019m eyeing another expo in August. I intend to go.\u00a0Stay tuned.
