August 5, 2006: “Smallville” Convention Report
Cinescape's Matt Kamen attended the inaugural Insurgence Convention held in Coventry, UK - a convention created specifically for "Smallville" fans, with guest stars including Mitchell Kosterman, who played Sheriff Ethan in the first two seasons of Smallville; Sarah Jane Redmond, Nell Potter (Lana Lang's aunt); Alan Ritchson, Arthur Curry/AC/Aquaman and Margot Kidder who cameoed as Dr. Crosby in season four. Here's part of the Cinescape report...
- The structure of the convention was well thought out - the stars' appearance schedules were cycled between on stage talks, autograph signings and the rather innovative (in my experience at least) coffee clubs, where small groups of attendees could buy a 30-45 minute 'up close and personal' session with one of the guests, the proceeds from which were donated to the Christopher Reeve Foundation.
As is almost mandatory for these types of events, there was a dealer room with a selection of cult goodies to tease money from the wallets of those present, though I resisted the siren's call.
Interesting things gleaned from the con:
Alan Ritchson is a giant of a man who dwarfs us mere mortals.
Sarah Jane Redmond is very nervous in person but extremely chatty.
Mitchell Kosterman can kill you in a variety of ways.
Margot Kidder likes the theatre enough to run to London for a show.
Thanks to Shaun Hemmings, aka "last man of krypton" for brining this article to our attention. Shaun's the guy posing with Aquaman and Margot Kidder in the photos in the article.
