I had a fantastic time at Gamma in Wagga Wagga yesterday, where I met Mouse and Deadpool.
Con-goers were excited to be there and genuinely enthusiastic about the event’s return to their city for the first time after Covid shut everything down.
Wagga Wagga is a few hundred kilometres inland, so I suspect events like Gamma are rare, and appreciated. That seemed to make a huge difference.
Meeting Deadpool was awesome (who doesn’t love Deadpool?). He even bought a book and posed for a photo.
And, of course, I met Matt Doran – Mouse, from The Matrix. And you know what? He’s a bloody nice guy, and more than happy to chat and talk about his favourite movies and movie-making experiences. He even stopped by my table after the event for another brief chat and to say goodbye.
Hopefully he’s at Gamma Canberra in September. It’d be great to catch up with him again.
