Fan Expo returns to Chicago (Rosemont) August 15-17. Of course, Tony and I will be "On the Beat" all weekend, covering the pop culture fun.
A few years ago, actor Patrick Warburton was scheduled to appear at Wizard World (since bought by Fan Expo). I begged WW PR man Jerry for an interview with him and it seemed a good possibility. Then Covid hit, causing that year's event to be postponed.
When I saw Warburton was returning at last year's Fn Expo, I immediate tried to get the interview. Unfortunately, it did not happen, but I did have a great experience with him. I brought an old picture of us from when he was Guest of Honor at a Global Traveler function about 12 years ago. He actually remembered me and details about the event. We chatted for several minutes before taking the pic below.
While I failed again to get that interview, I got more than expected. It's a great memory, one of my best from my years of covering Wizard World/Fan Expo.
