Washington DC Awesome Con report

After a much needed break from all things combos and celebrities following my week long ordeal, I attended a relatively stress free awesome con. 

My main attraction to that con was of course the 3 original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles voice actors that I never met. Additionally, Cam Clarke who voiced Leonardo also voiced He-Man in the 200X cartoon. 

So I get to the con and start getting guests. Luckily I managed to split the majority of my photo ops so I saved a lot of money. I also got more autographs in this con than I do in most other cons. 

From Cam Clark I get a photo op and two things singed. One is my TMNT photo already signed by Rob Paulson and Kevin Eastman in the past. The other is a 200X He-Man figure which he marked out for. Of course, I had more figures I wanted Cam on, but sadly money constraints prevented that  

Next up Barry Gordon (Donatello) and Townsend Coleman (Michelangelo). Photo ops with each and my TMNT photo done. Only person I would get on that now is Peter Laird. 

Keeping up with the TMNT theme I get a combo from Judith Hoag who played April in the fist TMNT movie. I got her to sign my TMNT laserdisc. 

Next up more photo ops. Got Buffy actresses Amber Benson (Tara) and Emma Caulfield (Anya). Kristin Bauer is a name I always passed on but she seemed reasonably priced here so got the photo op. Got George Newbern from Father of the Bride and Adventures in Baby Sitting. Also split with Joresky the Once Upon a Time actresses Victoria Smurfit (Cruella de Vil) and Merrin Dungey (Ursula). 

Last but not least, I wanted to get a Kevin Eastman autograph. First was was free after which it was paid. Unfortunately they were getting ready to take him away for his photo op session and the line was cut. But I didn't want to wait and I wanted out of there so I begged and pleaded my case on why I could not say, gave a sob story etc etc. Then a handler took my replica first issue of TMNT (the one that came with TMNT Ultimate Guide book), she took my gold marker, she went to Eastman, and got the comic beautifully done in gold. So that ended my trek at awesome con.
