Six Million Dollar Man stars Richard Anderson and Lee Majors.Īfter finally securing our tickets (so we thought), Anthony headed to a “bionic” panel with Lee Majors and Richard Anderson while Sean and I checked out the celebrity and merchandise areas. When we finally reached our turn, we found they could only accept cash, which fortunately wasn’t a problem for us but appeared to be for a few other potential attendees. Apparently no one knew where to go to purchase tickets versus picking up prepaid ones and signage was in short supply. It was about an hour into the show when we arrived and there was a small line of about fifteen confused people in front of us. Reduced to a trio, our remaining band kept our eyes on the prize and headed upstairs to the admissions table. Instead, he had decided to wander around the local countryside in search of adventure and alcohol and told us to call him when we were done. He was disappointed that guest Richard “Jaws” Kiel would not be at the show due to passing away the previous week (the best excuse I have ever heard). Thankfully it was still early and not raining so the hike back to the hotel wasn’t too bad.Īs we reached the hotel entrance, Aaron decided to part company with us. When we finally got to the hotel, located in downtown Tampa which is always a pain to get around in, we had to park several blocks away due to the poorly marked and/or insufficient parking. Anthony was decked out in one of his father’s old 70’s leisure suites that looked just like one of the outfits for the Six Million Dollar Man action figure from the same decade! We stopped just off the interstate in Haines City and picked up Sean for the final leg of the trip down.

FANBOY EXPO TAMPA 2014 FULL
This required some hasty eleventh hour reshuffling to fit everyone in but the final result was like an old college road trip with a car full of friends heading for new adventures! As the event approached though, things changed, and at the very last minute we were joined by Aaron O’Laughlin from Jacksonville and Sean McFadden from Winter Haven. As soon as we had our plans set, I floated the idea to a few friends but it wasn’t met with much enthusiasm due to timing, location, and various other factors. A review of the information on their website made this look like strictly one day’s worth of activities so we decided to attend on Saturday and just pay $20 for the single day admission. The 2014 Fanboy Expo was held at the Downtown Tampa Hilton on September 12-14. Neither Anthony nor I had been to a Fanboy Expo before, even though this was its third year in Florida, so since we are both big fans of The Six Million Dollar Man, we decided this was the year to give it a try.
FANBOY EXPO TAMPA 2014 SERIES
I was sold on Fanboy Expo thanks to both the appearance of Lee Majors and Richard Anderson, best known for The Six Million Dollar Man television series but each have a list of credits a mile long, and my friend Anthony Lopez wanting to attend. I am always up for trying something new where conventions are concerned, especially given the disappointing stagnation many of the Florida shows seem to be in these days.
