Today I went to a small convention that I'd never been to before. A spring version of Sacanime, but in Roseville, about half an hour away. I was going to be up there anyway, and thought it would be fun to check out.
It was smaller than I expected, but luckily not nearly as crowded as Fanime. I headed to the back, and spotted the tables of guest visitors. I walked along the aisle, looking at the posters of the guests. And I froze in utter astonishment. Anthony Gonzales was there. He plays Miguel, the main hero from Coco.
Unable to believe this remarkable turn of events, I got in line. The lines weren't nearly as insane as Sacanime, so it wasn't long before I made it to the front and shook Anthony's hand. I told him that Coco was my favorite movie, and teased that my friends and family got sick of me talking about it when it came out. He signed a poster for me. This time I decided to pay for a selfie. The hero from my favorite movie!
He asked if I was excited for Coco 2. I had only learned about it a few days ago (which is also remarkable timing). I admitted I was nervous, because you never know about sequels. But I said I was really excited, so now I'll have to be excited for Coco 2. Even as I hold my breath and pray for a beautiful sequel XD
Then my classy goodbye was to say, "I love you guys." I don't even know who "you guys" are. Could mean anything.
It's silly how we hope to make in impression on some people. Considering Anthony probably sat there for hours talking to all kinds of strangers, it's unlikely that he'll remember me.
But I still can't believe my insane luck.
