To E_N and all my Spy friends,
I had a great time at Memo Brum. It was a really fun event with lots of fans and cool people to meet and greet. I was sitting between Brian Muir the marvellous sculptor who created so many of the icons we recognise in the Saga. On my left was my old mate Norman Chancer (Tamizander Rey) whom I haven't seen for almost 20 years. The 501st was there in force along with many other Cosplay fans, and the show was spectacular. I just have to mention Beautiful Zena and her friend Capt Jack Sparrow and the stunning Red and Black Harlequine. The only sad note occurred on Sunday morning when one of the troopers dicovered that major parts of his armour had been stolen and the 'secure' changing room had been ransacked. The poor guy had no insurance and was heartbroken. Surely no true fan or stall holder would do something like that and all our hearts went out to him.
On the other side of the divider, behind me, were stars from Bond and other films. It was great to meet Burt Kwouk and to renew my acquaintance with Victor Spinetti. Long ago, when I was appearing in Pal Joey at the Albery Theatre, he came backstage and took the time to come to my dressing room and say the kindest words of praise and encouragement. I will never forget that act of kindness from from someone whom I so much admire.
I had an absolute ball meeting and greeting fans from all over the UK and beyond. That's the real pleasure which I have discovered in attending Conventions. I just hope that I will continue to be invited...
Take care everyone and I hope to meet you soon,
Chris
