Warning! This Post Contains Blatant Fangirl-ness

OMG!!! Neil Gaiman is going to be in at iCon and I'll going to see him and hear him talk and perhaps, oh perhaps even be able to ask him a question and have an answer directed to me:
Little Ms. Mel the melodramatic!
(/fangirl)

Seriously though, it's not everyday one meets an author one admires who is a pop-culture icon in his own right.
Right?

I'm very excited about the whole thing, and besides having an honour guest of extreme caliber, there will be booths with merchandise, sci-fi & fan books, comic books, DVD's, people whom I only see at cons and always seem to know who I am even though I have no clue who they are.

So much stuff to but, with so little time and a limited bank account.

I'm going to see Neil (האליל) Gaiman!!!
If I die after this week it will be a good time to die *squee*

Okay, I'm done.

I've never met a celebrity of any variety. Hope you have fun (and don't die).

I once saw Sam Waterson when I was in New York, but I was too star struck to even approach him (I still kick myself for that).

But this is different (the only way I'm dying is if I'll be part of a fangirl stampede, though I do believe I shall prevail ;)

Hehe, how cool

Isn't iCon in New York? Or is this a different iCon?

iCon is the annual Israeli Sci-Fi and Fantasy Con, it's a whole lot of fun and this year it's extra special.

Ah, cool! I got temporarily confused because we also have an iCon on Long Island, and my sister usually speaks. I was like, "She hasn't said anything about it yet..."

Well, you certainly made good use of the Wonder icon.

Have fun!
