Welcome to Fangirl Adventures


Welcome to Fangirl Adventures

I’ve been a Fangirl my whole life.  When I was 13, my Dad took me and my sister to a local Star Trek convention, the special guest star was Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard).  We had no idea what we were walking into, the fans, the costumes and the devotion that everyone had for that show had me in awe.  I remember waiting in line to meet Mr. Stewart and with each step closer I got more and more excited.  I can’t remember what I said to him that day or if he said anything back to me, but I remember that feeling of euphoria afterward and it’s one of the reasons I’m still a Fangirl today.

I’ve been to many conventions since then, but that rush of excitement and awe is still the same as when I was 13.  I hope you have as much fun reading and watching our Fangirl Adventures as Dawn and I have doing them.  Make sure to check back for updates as we get ready for the biggest east coast comic convention, New York Comic Con!   So many obsessions to cover and only 4 days to do it! Can we make them all?

On a side note, at my first meeting with Mr. Stewart, we couldn’t get any pictures with him.  I always said that one day I would meet him again and get that picture.  25 years later it finally happened!  Now that’s Fangirl dedication.
