Fine, Sarah Palin's Coming to Town. Now Can We Talk About the Guy From Tron?

Speaking of celebrities coming to town at the end of April ...I just got word that the Sci-Fi Expo at the Richardson Civic Center's done set its April 24-25 all-star line-up -- and, wow, maybe my mom can take my 6-year-old this go-round. That's because none other than Lee "Scarecrow"...

Speaking of celebrities coming to town at the end of April ...

I just got word that the Sci-Fi Expo at the Richardson Civic Center's done set its April 24-25 all-star line-up -- and, wow, maybe my mom can take my 6-year-old this go-round. That's because none other than Lee "Scarecrow" Stetson's on the roster -- though, sure, Bruce Boxleitner's probably on the guest list because he's in Tron and the forthcoming sequel Tron: Legacy (can ... not ... wait). Also on the roster: the great Adam Baldwin, who I plan on beating down with Full Metal Jacket questions in advance; Richard "Apollo" Hatch; Deep Roy, who you'll recognize as every single Oompa Loompa from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; and Mira Furlan, who played Lost's long-lost Danielle Rousseau. (Wonder if she knows where Desmond's been all this time.)

Is it weird that even at this late date, I kinda hope Bruce Boxleitner's bringing the wife?
