Leah Cevoli To Headline Massachusetts’ Pop Culture Expo!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Yesterday we told you all about Massachusett’s Pop Culture Expo, which is bound to be a fantastic weekend in May (the 24th & 25th, to be exact).

We just wanted to highlight the fact that our good pal Leah Cevoli (who has acted in Sorority of the Damned, Nightmare Code, multiple episodes of Robot Chicken, My Name Is Earl, Deadwood, and more), is one of the expo’s special guests, and she’ll also appear on multiple panels during her time there.

Panel information hasn’t been revealed yet, but we do know that Leah will partake in the voiceover panel on Saturday (with other guests that may have not been announced yet), and she’ll also be moderating an interactive celebrity panel with details still to be determined.

So, if you’re planning to attend the Pop Culture Expo (again, you can find all of the info here), be sure to look out for Leah!

Briefly: Image Meet & Greet has just announced the first annual Pop Culture Expo, which will debut at the Shriners Auditorium in Wilmington Mass. Memorial Day Weekend, Saturday and Sunday, May 24 and 25.

Image CEO Gary Sohmers will even debut an interest ion variation to the standard autograph signing called a “Video Op,” where video will capture the signing of your autograph for authentication and to allow the fan to be in the video with the celebrity when they sign the autograph.
