Once again I live too far away. I wish some of these things would come to the Motor City (Detroit, MI) since I might actually be able to make it to one of those. Untill then I'll just have to make do with all the pics the awsome fans send in!!

Too bad that I live in Kentucky!! All the good stuff always happens in the cities. Why can't something good happen out here. If anything good ever happened is that a famous person runs out of gas and knocks on your door for help. Which I must say has never happened to me.

I don't think I'd enjoy myself, I'm not really into comics. I don't really understand why the actors are there either, what have comics got to do with the films?

This would be awesome to go to. Matthew Lewis, as far as I am concerned, is one of the best child actors they have on the set of the movies. He was great from the start, while it seemed Rupert and Dan were still learning the ropes of acting.
