Just wanted to say Hello!!

[kidflash]

Hey everyone!!
I just joined the site after months of being on it! Having experienced some discrimination at another site, I am glad there is a whole LGBT community on here! So thank you for allowing it and I hope i can make some cool friends who LOVE going to Disneyland and love collecting pins! lol

 

[ConcKahuna]

Good to have you here! I'm over at the "other" park (WDW) and I am ashamded to admit that I have a full suitcase packed with pins, as well as a few dozen (or maybe it's hundred?) more floating around in various nook and crannies of my home.

Welcome!

Glad that you've decided to join our crazy little corner of the DIS!

You'll find a few Disneyland fans around.

There are also a few people who suffer from the PINsanity as well.

The best way to fit in around here is to just jump into a conversation!

Dont worry, we dont bite.....Well Wally does, but it's OK, he's had his shots!

(Even though he drinks shots like a girl)

Speaking of Barry Allen. On Saturday night, I got to listen to George Perez talk about drawing the classic issues of Crisis on Infinite Earths where Supergirl and the Flash died (WAAAAAY back in 1985). He's the nicest man, and fascinating to talk to.

For those of you who will be in the Orlando area in March, he'll be attending MegaCon and doing signings (he's local, so he never misses the Orlando con).

How I'd love to spend a day just picking his brain....thanks for the info, Rob.

I've had the priviledge of touring his studio on two separate occasions. I do my absolute best not to totally geek out (so I won't embarass Scott too much), but he's got his art work and prints up all over their house and I just stare at them in awe.

I'd have to be on my best behavior, lest Lex hang his head in shame...

And just so that kidflash doesn't think we're hijacking his thread for no reason. . . . here's a George Perez illustration of Kid Flash. (George gained a lot of his initial fame from his days drawing the Teen Titans including Kid Flash)

Well, we were invited to their house for a cast party for a community theatre show that both George and Scott were performing in, so I was there as Scott's guest, so I had to try and remain calm as I met George for the first time (Scott had warned him that I was a big fan) and not embarasss Scott in front of the rest of the cast for bringing me along. I barely maintained my composure when George offered the tour of his studio. He then signed a trade paperback of Wonder Woman for me and gave it to me. I was speechless (which NEVER happens)

WOW!! That's all I can say....is WOW!! I hope you have it well preserved...

BTW, I wonder if we lost KidFlash? Maybe he's googling Barry Allen!!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Welcome!!
You sound like the perfect friend for zeitzeuge! He and his partner are DL fans AND pin collectors!

Not only did he sign it, he sketched WW freehand (IN SHARPIE) on the fly leaf. I was blown away.

Like I said, he's the nicest guy you'll ever meet.

I hope we didn't lose kidflash, but hey, if you're going to hang on the GLBT forum, you have to get used to threads getting hijacked!

True enough....
