FanExpo returns to Chicago (Rosemont) August 15-17. Of course, I'll be back "On the Beat" as usual.
Last year, Mario Lopez was one of the headline guests. Lopez went from a child actor to a big name in the entertainment business. Although I was familiar with a lot of his work (Saved By the Bell, etc.), Tony also knew him from The Golden Girls. That opened the proverbial door to a bit of extra conversation.
Lopez was extremely nice and engaging. He seemed extra pleased with Tony's Golden Girls reference.
FanExpo took over Wizard World a few years ago. While I was initially curious how it would all work, the transition and aftermath has been smooth. Basically, I really can't see a difference.
This year, Orlando Bloom, Ewan McGregor and John Cena head the big list of celebrities. As usual, I will spend a lot of time in Artist Alley, reconnecting with old favorites and meeting new ones.
