Largo, Maryland

Largo, Maryland is a hidden paradise. I love going to the Capital Bookfest in October. My family and I have been going for three years to promote my father's book and every year I'm shocked. I'm shocked at how inviting and kind the people of this city are.

The adults are courteous and kind when you smile they smile back. And God bless the children they've raised who are mannerly and respectful.

Only in Largo would I be able to not only see in person but meet Nikki Giovanni. I hope the citizens of Largo realize what kind of treasue they have in their citizens and work hard to perserve that, because it's rare.

Everyone was welcoming and sweet, even the people who didn't buy my dad's book. If you don't like sci-fi that's fine, but they were still very nice.

Off Topic: Devor is an AWFUL movie

There's SPOILERS in this post for both Devour and House of Wax

And I own it.

It has taken me weeks to actually come to terms with how bad the movie is. But it is a bad movie. But I love Jensen and I just couldn't admit to it right away.

But tell me why I taped/burned it and have it on disc right now?

I watch the beginning and the middle and I just don't watch the end. I have my own ending, which you know I will post later because I am a writer and I fix things like this.

I have this fear that Jensen and Jared will quit Supernatural and we'll never see them together again. But they're sooo cool together. But I'm afraid they'll quit because of type casting.

Here's my deal...I'm watching House of Wax, ok and I'm looking at it like. OH MY GOD! Sam would never do any of this crap!

And I'm watching Jared as Wade be an ass and I'm like. Sam would've gotten out of this. What a horrible way to die. Then as Wade is being covered in the wax and all, I'm expecting Dean to jump in and save everyone.

Same thing with Devour I'm looking at it like. Damnit! If Sam were there this would never happen. But of course this was BEFORE Dean died and went to hell, so maybe the ending of Devour would have happend the same way wether Sam were there or not.

Don't drink and watch movies. It's...it's bad. I wish I was drinking when I was watching Devour.

Like, if you're a Jensen Ackles fan by all means watch Devour. You get to stare at him for about an hour and a half he's such a good actor. I really mean it. I really want him to be Matt in my dad's book. If it's ever turned into a movie!

But DO NOT watch House of Wax expecting to get a lot of Jared time in. LOL! I FF past his death. It was upsetting.

omg

Off Topic: Federation Convention USA

The second week of June I attended a Federation Convention, USA chapter. The first and last ever. I went to promote my dad's book Escape 2 Earth, but we had a horrible time with the organizers. Because nothing was organized. I must've called Tim four or five times since we landed on Thursday and the madness continued into Friday. I understand that he was sick, but pass the torch to someone competent.

They refunded everyone's money but there's no way to refund our flight from PA to TX or to refund the hotel rooms. Not to mention the promotional materials we brought for the fans. This was our first convention. The convention was cancelled after one day.

First of all, I want to say all of the other guests were professional and outstanding. My dad enjoyed meeting all of you.

John Billingsley (I look forward to seeing you on 24 next season)

Bonita Friedericy (I look forward to seeing you more on Chuck and future projects)

Menina Fortunato (Thanks for stopping by to say hello)

But the big thanks goes to Lindsey McKeon and the Cole and Tim of Vadercast.

Mainly because I knew her from the IMTOD, Supernatural episode and I'm a big Supernatural fan. So just think your at this convention to help promote your dad's book Escape 2 Earth and then you find out everything is over. You took off of work and flew out here for nothing. I mean we got a couple of sales that Friday but Saturday is the big day it wasn't even 12:00 yet and you find out it's all over.

I'm darn near hysterical (not really but I was close to crying). And I got her autograph. It was very sweet of her and I doubt if she'll remember me tomorrow but it was very nice of her to not only sign an autograph for me but to also take a picture with me so that made the day better. So instead of all bad, it was half bad.

I hope to meet all of these people again one day. Prefferably at a better managed convention.

If I feel like it I'll post the picture.

Now the Vadercast folks I also ran into in my state of crazy woman panic while they were announcing the cancellation. I met Cole who introduced my dad to Tim and the two later on interviewed my dad about his book soon to be books. Escape 2 Earth. Return 2 Earth is coming real soon.

Big miss. I missed meeting Conner Trinneer. Darn! He was only there on Saturday at the same time that we were and SO MANY people signed up to get his autograph. So I missed meeting him. One day, Conner, one day.

Escape 2 Earth: The movie? Starring Jensen Ackles and John Billingsley???

My dad is an author he wrote the science fiction novel Escape 2 Earth. He made my day when she said that Jensen Ackles would make a great Matt - one of the very main characters.

And he also thinks that John Billingsley would make a great president. I think he would too.

I would LOVE that!

Now where would Jared fit in???
