My wife was HIGHLY disappointed to hear about the cancellation of Michael Beihn (or however you spell it). She was thisclose to coming in for an autographed photo, but she couldn't decide between an action shot from The Terminator or from Aliens....and now that decision has been taken out of her hands altogether!

 

In any event, I will be manning the HERO Initiative table on Saturday (rumor has it we will be set up right next to CGC so there goes the neighborhood)! Anyway, I'll be there from 1 pm. or so onward so stop by and say hi.

 

I'm not sure who they've lined up for signings yet but gee, it's only Friday...

 

HERO Initiative for those who don't know is A.C.T.O.R. renamed sometime last year. Just when I finished learning what the old acronymn meant I have to learn an new one (and I'm not even sure if HERO is an acronymn or not actually).
