Armageddon Expo is pretty much like San Diego Comic Con, and it was a great time. I met Raven and talked to him for at least 10 minutes about matches, TNA, his blogs, etc. Really cool guy! I stood next to him talking and watching the wrestling matches that were on.
I also met Nicholas Brendan (Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer), but only briefly. He seemed nice, though he hasn't aged that well, haha. Also met and got signed photos from Kyle Hebert (Gohan/Ox King/Pikkon from Dragonball Z, also from Naruto/One Piece/Sonic/etc.). Cool guy.
I then met Paul Eiding (Ben 10, Diablo, Starcraft, Metal Gear, Transformers). He was nice too. Kevin Conroy (voice of Batman in all the animated movies, games, etc.) was next, got a signed Arkham City poster from him. Finally, Steven Blum (Grayson Hunt from Bulletstorm, also in Dragon Age, Dragonball GT, Dead Island, Fallout: New Vegas, Halo: Reach, Call of Duty, etc.). He was incredibly nice, and talked to us for awhile, doing random voices of characters he had played, etc. Really cool guy!
Had a great time. There was also booths to play games, free comic giveaways, celebrity Q+As, bands performing, heaps of shops, etc.
Anyone else been to events like this?

That sounds sick. I'm not surprised that Raven was there. Meeting Kevin Conroy is awesome, as is meeting everyone else. The voice of Colonel Campbell, Paul Eiding, must have been awesome.
I've never been to a convention like that. I've wanted to, though. I've been debating about going to Power Morphicon, the Power Rangers convention, but I don't know that I'd have the funds or anyone to go with...
Take any photos?

Only took some photos of us with people dressed as giant minecraft characters. Generally, autographs and talking to celebrities was free, but photos with them cost extra, so I didn't get any.
The next convention I have coming up is a horror one, which is in March 2012. Robert Englund (Freddy), Tony Todd (Candyman), Heather Langenkamp (Nightmare on Elm Street) and Jim and Glenn from The Walking Dead will be there.

Even though im not much into wrestling anymore, i'd love to meet Raven, from interviews i've seen, he seems to have a lot of crazy behind the scenes stories, and not afraid to share them lol. Sounds like you had an awesome time

Yeah he shot down Vince for shitty booking during the Invasion, and basically said TNA was shit to work for. Something along the lines of them giving him the world title when they werent on TV and Dixie making it seem like he was a real champion, when he was just a placeholder until they got on TV. He said winning the NWA title meant nothing to him, because its legacy meant nothing after all the hacks held it over the last decade. He was really nice.

I actually watched a TNA DVD where it had Raven losing the title before TNA went on TV. He won it and was expexted to carry the belt on TV then they screwed him in Canada at a house show by having AMW come in and interfere and Jeff Jarrett won the belt.
