cool pictures. did u have a good time?

 

[AmShak]

It was nice. Not really much different than most of the others, except for all of the comic artist and the auction. Those don't really interest me, so it had little impact for me.

Ray Park went out of his way (again) to make each person who came up to him, feel like they were the center of his attention. Even though his lines were long. (some guest seem like they could care less, even if you were the only one in the room)

The other guest at this show were nice as well but they are not nearly as in demand as Park is, so it's easier for them to make time for chit chat.

Carrie Fisher was not one of the more enjoyable guests that I have met but I have no complaints... she is very "in demand" and the convention staff get you in and out of there as quick as they can. She would not allow photos, so that's why there are none of her.

 

[Jacen]

i must say, Traci Lords was totaly cool. I got there when there werent many people wanting to see her, so we talked a bit. mm... traci lords...

 

[AmShak]

Yeah, I saw Traci over there but Linda Blair's Line kind engulfed that part of the room so I didn't too far in that direction.
She and Ray Park were supposed to have been there on Friday, but neither showed, wonder where they were?
