I had a chance to meet Wil last weekend at Emerald City ComiCon, but was called away on family business at the last minute. Sigh!

How I met Wil Wheaton

We attended his book signing (for Just a Geek) at the Alamo Drafthouse (Anderson Ln) a few years ago. My efforts to squash my inner squealyfangrrl were so successful, I would up saying nothing but “thank you.” At least my husband stepped up and congratulated him for breaking orbit of STNG.

I am such a dork, and not the cool kind, either.

How I met Wil Wheaton

He signed a copy of Dancing Barefoot for my wife at a Powell’s in Portland.

Why I want to meet Wil Wheaton

He just was this annoying kid. Then I heard his session at Gnomedex reading from his books, nah performing.

I love this recording. And discovered that he also has a great way of story telling. So now he is this cool, funny, smart guy with this compelling smile. And who does not want to meet a cool guy like Wil? :)

Why I want to meet Wil Wheaton

Why wouldn’t you want to meet Wil Wheaton? He’s the geek’s geek. Smart, funny, a talented writer, played a small role on Star Trek before becoming the celebrity version of the “everygeek.” Wil. Rocks.

And, this Sunday, in Boston, I will get the chance to do just that.

“Wil Wheaton, you’re my hero!”

The last time I saw Wil Wheaton

I played a teacher on the set of “Toy Soldiers”. Wil kept to his peeps pretty much, and seemed to be basking in the success of “Stand by Me”.

Glad to see he is blogging now!
