A Fan Day Experience

Pngaou from 9thwonders attended the Heroes Fan Day on December 11th. Thank you for sharing your experience and the great pictures!

"I got back from the strike a little while ago and it was amazing!!


I made my "HEROES Fans Support The Writers!" sign last night and packed it up to go for today. I ended up getting there a bit before 12, which was kind of awkward as well as confusing because I wasn't sure what was going on. I ran into a fellow Heroes fan and followed her to the picket site only to see Greg Grunberg there! He's as perky in person as he is in Adrian Pasdar's videos. Great guy. The other cast members who showed up were:

Greg Grunberg
Jack Coleman
Dana Davis
Sendhil Ramamurthy
Dania Ramirez
Ali Larter
Masi Oka
Cristine Rose
Kristin Bell

They were all EXTREMELY nice and welcoming and very thankful for people to be there. Each and every one of them took their time to take pictures and sign autographs, and even make conversation with people. I have to say that I was extremely charmed by Cristine Rose. She was sooooooo classy. Most of them also picketed with the writers. Tim Kring and Jeph Loeb were also there to picket and speak.

The writers are a really inspiring bunch. They were there from beginning to end and spoke with fans. They were VERY appreciative of everyone who showed up and were also grateful to know that people from 9th Wonders wanted to show up (but couldn't for various reasons).

It was just pretty surreal. The only sad thing I found about the event was that you could tell some people were ONLY there to meet the stars and not for the writers. There were even a few eBay fiends with all of their stuff ready. But minus that, it was a really amazing experience."

Now on to the pictures!

-1000 Cranes For Heroes

Mention in Wall Street Journal

Wall Street Article

All sorts of supporters are coming out of the woodwork. There are film
students looking to make contacts and hoping for tips on breaking into the
business. Neighborhood residents want to help out. And there are fans crazy
about some show or other.

They buy snacks for writers who have a lot more money
than they do. They help in symbolic ways. "Heroes" fans are sending origami
birds to the Writers Guild of America because a character on the show once
folded a thousand cranes for a woman he had fallen in love with.
