16 years ago I hollered out to Boba Fett as he walked by the SDCC Heavy Metal Magazine booth, where I was working, to ask for a photo. @bullyart07 (thread incoming)
I asked to take a photo together. He obliged. When he left he stepped to the corner of the booth, avoiding foot traffic, to remove his bucket and take a breather with his friend. I was smitten. So of course asked for a no helmet photo. See the smirk? He KNEW.

😆
He came back a different day to "see how the photos had come out" and THEY JUST SO HAPPENED TO BE FUZZY. So we took more pictures. See my smile? We had sparks from the jump. He was so pure. 😭 So beautiful.
SDCC 2004 is where this journey began. It's where I met my heroes and also the love of my life. It's where I first knew I wasn't alone. 16 years ago I literally ran away from home to join the nerd circus.

For all its faults, SDCC will forever hold a special place in my heart.
