John Schneider and Coca-Cola

The Suburban Collection Showplace in Nov, MI is serviced by Pepsi products.  This is a double edge sword for me.  On one hand, I love Coke.  On the other, it probably is better for me, since if they served Coke, I would have too many over the course of the Motor City Comic Con.
While waiting for some interview opportunities, we noticed that John Schneider was enjoying a bottle of Coke at his booth.  I am pretty sure that attendees could not bring in outside beverages, but I am pretty sure that rule does not apply to celebrities.  Then again, Schneider has a history of being a bit of a rule-breaker (or at least he did on The Dukes of Hazzard).
Obviously, Schneider brought the Coke from someplace outside.  That brought up so many questions.  Was the Coke an intentional choice?  Ws it just a beverage he happened to be drinking on the way to the MCCC?  Does he have a strong Coke preference?  Is it strong enough to only drink Coke?  Could we be kindred Coke spirits?
Unfortunately, these questions will have to wait.  I never got the chance to talk to Schneider to ask him.  Yes, I would have asked him about Coke.  I bet nobody else ever asked him about Coke.  Why waste my questions on silliness, when I can cover a truly important topc like Coke!
I will get to the bottom of this eventually.  Stay tuned.

A Hazardous Duke...John Schneider

I had previously met Catherine Bach (aka Daisy Duke) and last weekend at the Motor City Comic Con, I got to meet John Schneider, her Duke cousin Bo. Two Dukes down and only Luke left for the Duke trifecta. The pseudo-Dukes (Coy and Vance) do not count.
To sci-fi fans, Schneider is better known as Pa Kent from tv's Smallville, but Schneider's cash cow is his Duke ties. Schneider embraces his Duke role without overdoing it, like wearing the old Dukes clothes etc.

Schneider was a genuinely nice guy. After reminding the photog to make sure the flash was on, he then told me to come back if there was anything wrong with the picture. Schneider seemed to really make sure each fan got a special moment with him.
