Dear Panel Attendees,

I realize that you really want to ask a question so that you can talk to famous people (I mean who doesn't?), but please, try to ask GOOD questions. Now I am not saying that every (or any) question that I could think up would be genius. However, I am saying that I could filter myself and not ask the stupid ones. Rude and idiotic questions are just not necessary.

You do not need to ask the same question someone else just asked, but in a slightly different way. You do not need to ask a question just for the sake of asking a question. You do not need to point out how it is "unrealistic" for a lady in an action show to be wearing high heels (yes I am talking to you Button Lady). You really do not need to say negative things at all when these people have come in person to entertain you. I could go on, but I think you get the point.

Please, next year just think a little before you immediately ask the first question that comes to mind. And to those with interesting and pertinent questions: keep up the good work!

Love,
A

Dear People Who Complain About Things That Are Free,

I know that you were very upset that the shuttle bus to Comic-Con was ten minutes late, or missed your stop, or was purple, or whatever not-that-big-a-deal thing you were whining about to management was, but you do realize that it is FREE right? They are not obligated to have a large comfy bus available to transport you directly from your hotel to the convention center at convenient intervals. They are in fact not obligated to make your life easier in any way, but they do out of the goodness of their hearts and their desire to provide good customer service to an unruly throng of nerds.

If your complaining creates a problem and they decide to scrap the whole bus idea and I have to wait for the damn Red Line for three hours and then pack in like sardines with many other unwashed folks overburdened with what are quite possibly the largest bags I have ever seen (on the up side you can use them as blankets while camping out at the tram station like hobos waiting for the Red Line to show up), I will quite possibly murder you from sheer exhaustion. I love the Con, but at the end of a really long and amazing day it is freaking awesome to be able to get back to the hotel so easily. Please just appreciate that the bus is there, and free, and don't ruin it for the rest of us. Thank you.

Love,
A

Dear Barenaked Ladies,

You rock. Thank you.

Dear Guy Exiting The Theater Behind Me After A Midnight Showing Of Pirates Of The Caribbean Four,

First of all, using the word "retarded" to describe a movie? Really? Come on man, you are better than that. 

Secondly, that is fine if you didn't like the movie (if you hate fun that is your problem), but you really thought it was "boring"? I think there are a lot of things you could say about the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but boring is definitely not one of them. I am sorry if Number Four was too slow or understandable for you after the eight hundred things happening at once in Number Three (I still like you Three, don't worry). However, I do not believe that qualifies it as "boring." 

And last, but not least. Were you so disappointed because you were expecting more? I mean, did you or did you not see the first three movies and enjoy them? And if you didn't, who the heck goes to a midnight showing unless it is a movie they are excited to see?!

Just a few questions I had. See you at POTC5 sir.

Love, 

A
