I found out that there was this food truck called the Bento Bus around, so I hit that up for lunch and I got an Asian steak bowl and ginger lemonade. The steak bowl was pretty good, but I <\/span>loooooove<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;\"> that ginger lemonade.

Voice Actor #1 John Swasey was just sitting at his booth, so I just walked over there and got his signature for Kumatetsu from <i>The Boy and the Beast. <\/i>He was very nice, but we didn&#8217;t talk too long because I was still overcoming my initial&nbsp;con shyness.

He told me it was fun to work on but that he\u2019d actually never seen it and still has the VHS tapes! We also talked about Wolverine and The X-Men. I loved him as Wolverine and he told me that the show got <\/span>canceled<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;\"> because funding from an overseas company got pulled and he didn\u2019t get paid for the show even though he loved it. They even had more episodes ready to go! This is why I don\u2019t trust network television. XD Overall he was very sweet. It was so great to meet him.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Mary Elizabeth McGlynn was right next to him, so I slipped into her line and got her signature for Jagara from Wolf\u2019s Rain who is Lord Darcia\u2019s love interest which is really funny because Mary and Steve are engaged.

I told her about the day I figured out that she plays Azula and Emily Elizabeth from Clifford the Big Red Dog and how jarring that was for me.
