If you’re in Dallas or surrounding cities, lots of celebs are about to invade the neighborhood. The DFW Sci-Fi Expo is going on THIS WEEKEND at the spacious Irving Convention Center. Actors and actresses from all your favorite genre movies and TV shows will be on hand, along with comic book creators, fan groups, and more. Joining the fun on Sunday at the show is THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN Part 1 star Ali Faulkner, who can also soon be seen in the comic book movie adaptation BAD KIDS GO TO HELL. Ali’s appearance is particularly timely as BREAKING DAWN Part 1 hits DVD and Blu-ray today, so fans will be able to get their copy signed by Miss Faulkner at the event. Through a special promotion in conjunction with Summit Entertainment, Bigfanboy.com will be giving away copies of the Blu-ray + DVD combo pack, and a few copies of the Target exclusive edition (packaged with an actual flower from the wedding scene in the movie). No purchase necessary to enter, contest open to ages 13 and up. Must be present to win, and you must enter at the show – winners announced on Sunday at the Bigfanboy.com booth at 1pm.
