Yesterday I told you all about our day at the Rhode Island Comic Con.  We saw and did tons of stuff, but when we walked into this, I was GIDDY.  I love Ghostbusters.

Yup, that’s Ecto 1. The one from the movie.

But then this happened:

Yes, that is Winston Zeddemore aka Ernie Hudson. I kid you not when I tell you that this is one of the highlights of my life.  I seriously love, LOVE Ghostbusters and meeting a “real” Ghostbuster was totally awesome.

When we were done taking the picture, I gave him a huge hug and told him that we had just gotten back from Disney World and meeting him totally topped that.  I’m sure he thought I was completely nuts.

    As soon as you said Ghostbuster, I had that song stuck in my head! I remember loving the game too!

  10. Becky Lyons Borgia says

    January 17, 2014 at 11:20 am

    Who you gonna call…? GHOSTBUSTERS!!!!!!! I loved those movies. It might be time to introduce my kids.

  11. shoaib says

    January 17, 2014 at 11:22 am

    Wish i had these kind of things at my place…

  12. Rosey says

    January 17, 2014 at 11:29 am

    I’m sure he was flattered!! How cool!!

  13. Sue says

    January 17, 2014 at 11:31 am

    I heard the may make part 3 sometime 🙂

  14. Diane says

    January 17, 2014 at 12:21 pm

    Awesome! I met the cast of the Young Riders once. Great times!

  15. mamakujo says

    January 17, 2014 at 12:47 pm

    Oh wow! My husband would be so jealous! Such a fan boy 😉

  16. Tammy/Our Neck of the Woods says

    January 17, 2014 at 1:02 pm

    That’s awesome! What a great photo of you all. Sounds like a day to remember for you 🙂

  17. Elise says

    January 17, 2014 at 1:16 pm

  18. Teresa Mccluskey says

    January 17, 2014 at 1:23 pm

  19. Kisa says

    January 17, 2014 at 1:28 pm

    Squee!! I would have totally fangirled too!!
    Actually when I met one of my favorite English voice actors (he dubs anime and various other things) I was soooo nutso over it! Then again I was only 17! He used one of his characters voices at me, and my heart still races thinking about it! 😀

  20. kungphoo says

    January 17, 2014 at 2:48 pm

    Great photos! Who ya gonna call???

  21. Annie @ Mama Dweeb says

    January 17, 2014 at 3:06 pm

    OMG!!!!! Ok I am mad with jealousy right now!! So glad you got to do this though!

  22. Rorybore says

    January 17, 2014 at 3:19 pm

    SO Awesome!! I know I had a blast this past summer at the Toronto Fan Expo — and meeting some of the cast from The Walking Dead, and other shows/celebs. It’s quite a strange experience isn’t it? You swear before you won’t be star struck, and the next thing you know Daryl Dixon himself is holding your hand and giving you a hug and your brain just goes…”um…duh….smell good.” Bravo fangirl. LOL

    And LOVE Ghostbusters too!! I kinda have a unfair advantage on that one, since Dan Aykroyd lives in my hometown. But it is strange to see him out about the town and resist the urge to yell “who ya gonna call?!” 🙂

  23. Joanna Sormunen says

    January 17, 2014 at 3:25 pm

    I love Ghostbusters also. And I don’t think he thought you were nuts, Robin. He’s an actor so he needs to hear something like that, lol

  24. Wendy Bottrell says

    January 17, 2014 at 3:36 pm

    Sounds like you had an amazing day! Your photos definitely show that. Thanks for sharing your great experience

  25. Cascia Talbert says

    January 17, 2014 at 3:59 pm

    That is so cool! I remember watching Ghost Busters when I was a kid. Have a terrific weekend!

  26. Amberlee Cave says

    January 17, 2014 at 4:11 pm

    That is awesome! I used to be obsessed with Ghost Busters! I wish I could have met him!

  27. Ellen Christian (@scentednights) says

    January 17, 2014 at 4:17 pm

    That must have been so much fun. We love Ghost Busters.

  28. Lawna says

    January 17, 2014 at 4:26 pm

    Who you gunna call…ghostbusters!!!! OMG, how totally exciting that you were fortunate enough to meet a REAL Ghostbusters!!!

  29. Healy Harpster says

    January 17, 2014 at 4:45 pm

    Oh, he is so lucky to received a big hug from you! I love ghostbuster too.

  30. Karla says

    January 17, 2014 at 4:47 pm

    I love Ghostbusters! It was one of the first ‘scary’ movies I watched as a kid, and now I just laugh as I relive those moments!

  31. brett says

    January 17, 2014 at 5:51 pm

  32. nevafels says

  34. Pam W says

    January 17, 2014 at 6:08 pm

    I love Ghostbusters and I would have loved to meet a real Ghostbuster! That is so cool.

  35. Sarah says

    January 17, 2014 at 6:50 pm

    Ahh that would have been such fun – I would have been so tempted to nose in the car and poke Marshmallow Man!

  36. casavilorainteriors says

    January 17, 2014 at 7:24 pm

    that is totally cool! Did you get his autograph?

  37. Ave says

    January 17, 2014 at 7:30 pm

    Wow! Lucky you to meet a real ghostbuster! Looks like you had a lot of fun!

  38. Kim P. Miller (@klpmiller) says

    January 17, 2014 at 7:39 pm

    How fun! I have always thought my kids would enjoy a comic con. Very cool you got to meet one of the original stars!

  39. [email protected] says

    January 17, 2014 at 7:49 pm

    I just watched that movie with my kids, they would love that.

  40. Amanda Love says

    January 17, 2014 at 7:53 pm

    How cool! Who you gonna call – Ghostbusters!. My husband would have loved to meet him. He’s a big Ghostbusters fan!

  41. fredamans says

    January 17, 2014 at 7:59 pm

    It would be awesome to meet him.
    I have met Dan Akroyd. I lived in Kingston, near where he is from. In that town, his wife and him drive their old car about. Had a nice chance meeting him on one of those drives. Also met him at a charity golf event when I worked for Mac’s Milk/Mike’s Mart stores.

  42. Jennifer Van Huss says

    January 17, 2014 at 8:13 pm

    So jealous!! I grew up watching Ghostbusters and would have loved to meet them!!! My kids hear me sing the song and have no clue what i’m talking about

  43. Janel says

    January 17, 2014 at 8:36 pm

    Oh, how cool for you!! I used to watch this show when I was younger. I don’t remember anything about the show anymore, though.

  44. Michele says

    January 17, 2014 at 9:10 pm

    Ah–it is great that you got to meet one of the Ghostbusters! And I rather doubt he thought you were nuts–he probably ate up the compliments I’m sure you showered on him!

  45. [email protected] says

    January 17, 2014 at 9:55 pm

    That would be so cool.

  46. Chubskulit Rose says

    January 17, 2014 at 10:22 pm

    Oh how awesome is that! You must be so thrilled seeing Ghostbusters in person.

  47. Melissa says

    January 17, 2014 at 10:26 pm

    Whaaaaat?! This is just too cool! I would have loved to meet him!

  48. Foodie in WV says

  49. Jennifer Brown says

    January 17, 2014 at 10:34 pm

    I love these shows. It’s just so different from the everyday life.

  50. Theresa says

    January 17, 2014 at 10:38 pm

    I’ve so got the “Who You Gonna Call?” song running through my head now! I think that is too cool you got to meet a Real Ghost Buster!

  51. craftcraving says

    January 17, 2014 at 11:32 pm

    How awesomely cool is that? I love the Stay Puff inflatable. It gives it a nice touch. Now you just needed a slimer! I’m sure he hears a lot of accolades but it’s probably not often that someone tells him that he topped Disneyland!

  52. Alissa Apel says

    January 18, 2014 at 1:20 am

    That’s so sweet! I’d love to be there.

  53. Pam says

    January 18, 2014 at 1:21 am

    That is pretty cool. I had completely forgotten about that movie but it was a big hit. I will have to try and watch it again sometime soon.

  54. Christina @ It's a Keeper says

    January 18, 2014 at 1:31 am

    Too cool!! So jealous!

  55. Janeane Davis says

    January 18, 2014 at 1:36 am

    It seems as if you had a great day. You probably will earn cool points with a lot of people when they see the cool photos!

  56. Liz (@blueviolet) says

    January 18, 2014 at 2:09 am

    I think it’s awesome that you were so excited about it. He’s from my hometown area. 🙂

    January 18, 2014 at 9:58 am

  66. Marvelous Mommy says

    January 18, 2014 at 8:07 pm

  67. My Journey With Candida says

    January 18, 2014 at 8:52 pm

    LOL… Chris Beat me saying Who You Gonna Call… That would have been the highlight of my life too getting to meet Winston. My Daughter met John Denver on a cruise that I took her on for graduation many years ago. She had no idea who John Denver even was.

  68. Shell says

    January 18, 2014 at 8:55 pm

  74. Tami says

    January 19, 2014 at 10:32 am

    Reminds me of my childhood…staying up ‘late’ and watching Ghostbusters and asking everyone ‘Who you gonna call?’ Haha This is absolutely awesome!

  75. jamie4flanary says

    January 19, 2014 at 12:25 pm

    January 20, 2014 at 12:18 am

  81. Dollops of Diane says

    January 20, 2014 at 9:12 pm

    That’s awesome! My 5 year old is a HUGE Ghostbusters fan. He would have died if he saw the car and a real, live ghostbuster!

  82. Teena in Toronto says

    January 20, 2014 at 9:35 pm

    So … what you’re saying is … you’re a fan?!

  83. Liza @ Views From the 'Ville says

    January 21, 2014 at 12:23 am

    How cool is that? I’ve never been to a Comic Con before, but I think it’s fun that it’s possible to meet actors and favorite characters there.
