Background: The TV show Psych is Nate's favorite by far! He's seen the entire show like 3 times. I saw on Facebook that the two main characters, Shawn and Gus (James Roda and Dulé Hill) were coming to FanX, similar to Comic Con but not as nerdy. And they were coming 3 days before his birthday. I thought this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, like bucket list stuff, so we went all out.
I paid for tickets to the Con, paid for a photo Op with Shawn and Gus and bought shirts for the event. (I was going to make psych shirts but they horribly failed so I had to purchase them). We went with me, Nate, Anna and Chelsy Broome.
The day of the event came and we got there early-ish. We barely made it into the Psych panel where they talked for an hour about the show and answered panel questions. It was so fun to see them interact.
After that we ate an early lunch and then Nate got in line to get Dulé's autograph. While he was doing that the three of us walked around the vendor floor and looked at all the people in costume. When we met up with Nate, we were the last ones in line that could meet Dulé. We paid our $50 for the autograph and he even did a video for Nate saying our favorite phrase. From th ere we jumped over to get James Roday's autograph and we made a whole bunch of people mad. I felt bad but also knew that is why we were here.
After getting autographs, we got a funew cake and took a nap until our Photo Op with Psych. Our time was 4:30 but they were running late. The photo Op area was a mess. Super disorganized. I'm glad we talked to them because we didn't get any time during the picture.
Overall it was a fun day. We laughed, played, waited in line, took pictures, ate food, and got sore feet. I'm glad we did it because Nate said I don't need to get him anything for his birthday ever again ;)
Here are some of the pictures:
