TheBilcourt: Superman Celebration in Metropolis

Superman Celebration in Metropolis

On Saturday, I headed up to Metropolis to Superman Celebration. I only found out about it a few days ago by chance. It's really weird to see this town about the size of Gallatin take Superman and run with it. Everything up there is Superman. It's one of those places you need to go to just to see what I mean. The city is basically known for two things: Superman and a Harrah's casino. It's almost exactly a two hour drive from Nashville. While I was there, I went to the giant Superman statue in the center of town and I stopped by the Superman Museum and Superstore. WOW! Talk about Superman overload! The museum covered every detail of the history of Superman. The museum has tons of props, costumes, artwork, and memorbillia. Seeing one of the original costumes along with other props from the Christopher Reeve era was great. The only thing that sucked was not having any money to buy anything. I have hardly no money until next Friday and I couldn't buy a thing in the store. Not having money to spend was probably a blessing in disguise. After I visited the museum, I got to meet Michael Rosenbaum and Noel Neill. Michael Rosenbaum plays Lex Luthor on Smallville, one of favorite shows on tv. He was awesome. You could tell he really appreciated the people there to see him. It did stink that he didn't have time to take pictures with everyone. Noel Neill was the first actress to play Lois Lane back in 1948 with Kirk Alyn. She's 85 now and is considered the "First Lady of Metropolis." She was really nice is a grandmother kind of way. Well, here are some pics from my trip to Metropolis.
