Ssalefish GSO First Look #256 for 3.30.22
The mission from last week’s blog, to make it to Galaxy Con in Richmond on Friday, meet Ahsoka Tano role-originator & voice actress Ashley Eckstein, get her signature, and consume $150 worth of ribs at Buzz & Ned’s, was a complete success! She was super-sweet and down to talk all things Disney before reciting the line I had inscribed on my lightsaber case in Snips’s voice!
It was weird to go to a show like that in the vein of a comic convention (I’ve never been to the Raleigh show), or about the same size as HeroesCon, and only have three comic dealers in the building, and no one be bothered by it. I guess that’s the direction these things have been going…
