Stargate Chicago Con 2012 - Autographs
Robert Picardo:
Robert was by himself in the Vender’s room so Saturday morning while I was killing time I decided to get his auto. I figured once I met one of them, I wouldn’t be nervous about the rest. And actually I wasn’t nervous about any of them. They’re all too nice! Robert thought we had met before, but of course we hadn’t. He wondered if we’d done
a prison movie together. LOL
Steve Bacic:
The picture he autographed had a pillow in it and he wrote This pillow stinks! Then told me how these pillows on set were awful. Then he laughed and said he writes really random stuff on autos.
Kate Hewlett:
She rags constantly on David, but she also has two sisters. I told her all I had were brothers, so she put sorry about all those brothers on the auto. She is so sweet.
(Side story: Next up were Joe, Torri and Jewel. They were on the right side of the hall with Joe at the first table, then Torri and Jewel at the second, longer table. After signing for a while for some reason Joe and Jewel switched places. Have no idea why, but it left Sparky at the same table. Hee)
Jewel Staite:
Told Jewel my name for the picture and she said LOOOOVE that name. I think there may be a Roxanne on her new show. She’s so cute!
Torri Higginson and Joe Flanigan:
Neither Torri or Joe personalized my pictures. I know someone on Gateworld said Joe said he was definitely personalizing, but it wasn’t made plain to everyone I can tell you. Another lesson learned - take post its and just go ahead and put your name on it and attach it to the pic. It’s worth a shot.
Anyway, Torri signed my picture, then I had her sign a second item. I took the Certificate of Authenticity that came with Elizabeth’s pocket watch. The handler gave it to her and she got this puzzled look on her face, so I told her I have her pocket watch. Immediately she’s like, awwwwwwwwwwww, keeps reading, then awwwwwwwwwww. So while she’s doing that, Joe’s just sitting there so I hand over what I want him to sign…and here comes my other disappointment.
There was this guy wandering the convention who wasn’t quite all there. Older guy, and he kept coming up to people and telling this story about William Shatner losing his pants in an airport. Well, he was in the line way behind me, but the line curved and he was actually RIGHT BEHIND ME and he just butted in front of me and blabbed his long story to Joe. So everyone’s kind of watching this guy and Torri hands me the Cert. The guy wasn’t moving so I just walked in front of him to get my picture from Joe (who looked at me and murmured “poor guy”). I nodded and kept moving. But it was disappointing because the guy kind of ruined my moments with both Torri and Joe. Ah, well. I just have to meet them again, right?
Tony Amendola:
When Tony’s handler saw my name, she said it made her want to sing. Tony, however, said he had a different reaction and quoted something from Cyrano to me. That was cool.
Cliff Simon:
Cliff, on the other hand, went ahead and sang to me. Hee
Paul McGillion:
I swear, Paul was talking five minutes with everyone. His line took forever! He asked me if I was enjoying the convention and I said it was great, then confessed it was also my first. He’s like, oooooo, a con virgin. LOL Then he wrote - so fun being your first. Oh Paul.
Michael Shanks:
Michael didn’t say a whole lot. That’s okay. *stares*
David Nykl:
I could hear David humming my song under his breath while he signed my picture. Then he said, you must hate that, huh? I’m like, no, everybody does it so I’m used to it. He says, really? and then he was really loud: ROOOOOOOOOOOXANNE! Then he proceeded to rag on Sting for not writing better lyrics for Message in a Bottle. Fun guy.
