I made the trip down from Pennsylvania to my first Fanfest. Because of my work schedule, I did not get the VIP pass, but bought a 1-day pass on Saturday. My friend could not come, so after going back and forth as to whether to come by myself or not, I went ahead and made the trip. And I am so glad I did.
It was so much fun to see the wrestlers I have idolized all my life. It was a pleasure shaking their hands and getting autographs and pictures. I also bought a lot of stuff from the vendors. I hope to come to another Fanfest one day, maybe Charlotte next year. Got to start save my money now. I would say to anyone who didn't make the trip - you've got to go to one of these Fanfests. It is the most fun I have had and everyone there was so nice and knowledgeable about wrestling.
Because I only boght a 1 day pass, I spent a lot of time in the lobby of the hotel, and there is one lady that I talked to a lot and would like to thank because she was so nice to me. That lady is noodlepoodle. She was always smiling and always had time to talk with me about wrestling. She seems pretty knowledgeable, too. Anyway, thanks noodlepoodle. I hope to see you again some day.
It was a weekend I'll never forget. Thanks to Mr. Price for putting on such a great Fanfest.
Doug

This was my first Fanfest too and I had a great time. It was well worth the nearly 7 hour drive from Springfield, OH that me and Shannon took. I'd like to thank Greg Price and his crew for all the hard work they put into making it a memorable experience for all.
The Q + A's were entertaining, the autograph signings were fun, and the 8x10's from the photo opps turned out wonderful.
In addition to meeting all the wrestlers, getting to meet people from the message boards like Bobby, StingMark, GarvinStomp, BrunoGod, etc. was a thrill.
I'd like to make Fanfest a yearly event now and I'll be getting my VIP ticket, along with Shannon, on Sep. 1.

This was my first one too. I came from Cape Cod, on the Heenan/Cornette Q&A Cornette asked "why the F*** are you here?" when I said I was from Cape Cod ;D
Great time all around. I'll be going every year.
