Did you miss FAN EXPO DALLAS presented by Dallas Comic Con a week ago? If so you missed quite a few entertaining panels with some of the most beloved figures in Sci-Fi and pop culture. The first big one that kicked off the event was on Friday night, with the wonderful Carrie Fisher. I had genuinely hoped to moderate this, but Carrie wanted to do her own thing by herself on stage… well, not completely by herself, as her dog Gary was by her side the whole time. This wasn’t so much of a traditional Q&A as it was Miss Fisher just talking and sharing thoughts with the audience. No juicy STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS tidbits here, just Carrie being Carrie for an hour. Check out the full video below, which runs about about an hour. Our thanks to yodasama who posted this and other great videos on YouTube. If you’ve never been to a Dallas Comic Con event, check out more info on the shows here.
