Last night Ryan and I (Joe) had the opportunity to attend the Wizard World St. Louis kickoff party at the Hard Rock Cafe. The kickoff party included a red carpet where we could get pictures of some of the Celebrities and Artists that will be at this weekends Comic Con as well as get a chance to ask them a few questions. Celebrities on hand were Christian Kane ("Leverage & The Librarians") and Chris51 ("Epic Ink"). Artists in attendance were Victor Dandridge, Rob Schamberger, and Clinton Hobart.

The festivities began with a brief Q&A with both Christian Kane as well as Chris51. Most of the questions came from the numerous ladies there in attendance known as the #Kaniacs. Check back for video of that panel!

However, during the red carpet entrance we got to chat with Chris51 and ask him a few quick questions:

NerdLife: How bad did that Simpsons Donut tattoo hurt when they "set it in?"

Chris51: Hurt like hell! It was literally 20 minutes after the tattoo and I told the production crew that you only have 1 take at this and that's it!

NerdLife: Is the entire weekend booked with scheduled tattoos?

Chris51: Pretty much but I still have some time to go around and look for some action figures! Which is crazy, I never make any money from these because I always spend it all on awesome stuff!

Thanks again to Chris51 for taking a moment to talk and snap a selfie with us! I can definitely say without a doubt you sir are Living The Nerd Life!

The Last person we got to meet with is Victor Dandridge from Vantage:Inhouse Productions (V:IP)!! Here is a brief bio about Victor.

Victor Dandridge is a rising star in the small-press market, rapidly gaining notoriety and acclaim through his creator-owned publishing imprint, Vantage:Inhouse Productions.

The night was capped off with a brief acoustic set by Christian Kane which was the icing on the cake, if you will, for the evening. Check back in for the video of Christian Kane's live set!
