Yeah, good ol’ autograph lines…what are you gonna do? They are always horrendous things to endure, no matter what. I was an hour and a half late for the Stratosphere party that I paid $200 for, because the autograph line took so long! The handlers did their best to get everyone else to their other scheduled events on time, but they dropped the ball on that one, big time! At times like that, I don’t even want the stars to get up to go pee, much less chit-chat with everyone!

Those are good points regarding how tired the stars are and how they interact depends on handlers-in 2006 at the vegas con our shat photo op the shat did glance our way and said hello-i said hi bill they took our pic and even wasted a few secs to take a 2nd one cuz i had a goofy look on my face haha then i said thanks bill and bye bill haha-now with our 2nd photo op with nichelle,walter and george,mr takei immediately recognized us from the celebrity breakfast and in his distinctive sulu voice said i remember you-we had breakfast together, hello again-made our day and i also got to say a few words to nichelle-it was quick but cordial and they were all nice-walter was quiet at the bfast and photo op did not seem to be well at all.

The Chicago location is about a mile from my house!!! And, I’ve made the trek to SBI’s events more than once. This will be a good year.

I’m not going to another con until they get actors from the new Trek movie like Chris Pine and the like. I’ve see most of the regulars at Vegas and Jersey and it’s gettting old.

We had our photo op with Shatner/Nimoy on Sunday at the recent Vegas CON.

Don’t be so hard on the actors not saying hi or shaking hands or whatever. Blame the handlers…. before we got to the duo, 3 people /handlers told us: “don’t say anythng to the actors, don’t ask questions, don’t grab them, don’t shake hands and don’t hug them. I like Cpt Kirk as much as the next person but there is no bromance so I cannot fathom what this handler was getting at other then he has to state the policy over and over.

I talked to the women volunteers at the photo booth and they said that the Shatner/Nimoy duo photo op was their largest crowd of over 450 people. I can only imgine how long it would take to get through that line if every one took an extra 4 or 5 seconds to shake hands.

I timed each person getting photo ops and you have an average of 7 seconds with the actor. At 5 seconds, the photographer Chris has snapped your photo.

The best time to engage the actors is at an autograph session, they were always very pleasant and outgoing then to us.
