Alicia and I are back from Gettysburg and the Horror Film Convention.
Her movie was played to a full house and they added another show on later since more people wanted to see the movie.
It was incredible seeing my little girl on the big screen in a movie. She had a small part but still it was awesome.
We had such a good time. Here are some pictures.
Alicia and the star Christina Rose.

While creatures were out to kill me, daughter was signing autographs.

I was there to see my daughter get asked for her first offical autograph.
This man was number 5 or 6. She was so surprised at first. Mom was trying to keep tears and smiles in check.

Looks like you had a great time!
Wow, looks like fun! Looks like you were lucky to get out alive with all those creatures after you!:eek: Your daughter's very pretty and I love her dress!:D
Oh, I've always wanted to go to Gettysburg. I love historical sites.
And the horror film convention looks like great fun. There is nothing quite like a great zombie movie. :love:
Precisely what I was going to say. And Congratulations to her on the movie.Quote:

Looks like you had a great time. Love your outfit, Monica. :)
Marigold, What a fun weekend you had. Thank for sharing it along with the pictures. Some of those monsters looked serious.:eek: Your pretty daughter is a star.:) How proud you must be of her. ;)
Thanks everyone,
We had the best time. Everyone was very nice, supportive and helpful to one another. A truly kind group of people.
The convention was very upbeat and fun, lots of laughs and sillyness.
The people of PA are so friendly. Where ever we went to eat the waitresses was super sweet, helpful, cheerful.
I could not have asked for a better time.
We capped it off with Taste of Cleveland today. Alicia, Lance and I went and I so enjoyed the Led Zepplin Tribute band. The one Doc I work for is also a fan, he was there with his girl. We were rocking to Stairway to Heaven.
There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have
Two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are
Misgiven
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying
For leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those
Who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will
Echo with laughter
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, ooh, whoa, oh
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean
For the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change
The road you're on
And it makes me wonder
Aw, uh, oh
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow?
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
(Solo)
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The truth will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a stairway
To heaven...
As I listened to those words I felt 16 again with a world full of endless possiblities waiting for me.
Tis beautiful.

I would say it is for 14 and above, some topless scenes.
It is a very funny silly movie. I was laughing out loud many times.
In fact the star and director were sitting behind me in the theater and later commented on me laughing and how much I enjoyed the silly.
The star Christina Rose was great, great, great as the nerdy Wanda.
First rate performance, this girl will go far. I see her as being another Reese Witherspoon. Incredible talent.
As for my daugher, she played a mean, nasty girl and she did it brilliantly.
I was so proud of my daughter the actress. Hollywood has always been her dream, she is on her way.
Sorry Monica, bit late here (been very busy)... but just wanted to say I love the photos and it looks like you both has a great time :) Congrats to Alicia :D
Wow....she really is a Hollywood Star in the making ;)
Very nice pics Monica.
Thank you John. I am still amazed and so incredibly proud of my daughter.
She wanted to be an actress since she was a wee bit. She went and got this part on her own and it took a lot of guts.
I hope it leads to more acting jobs for this is what she wants.
I was there when that first guy asked for her autograph, that was one of the most special moments of my life. I stood on the side, was very quite and the tears started to well up. It was her moment and she handled it well.
I always told my kids to follow their dreams big and small ones. I am glad she is doing want she loves.
Yeah, good on her mate. I'm sure she will do well. ;)Quote:
