Ken,
That's what Cons are for. You hear lots of neat stories at those. BTW,
does anyone know when the next Fanderson Con will be?

Nothing beats meeting a celeb at a con and hearing stories but to
finally get that information at home on DVD - and to hear new stuff -
as watching the DVDs must jog their memories into new and exciting
stories. Some celebs have the same stories over and over again and
to hear fresh ideas while they are watching the episode is great.

Besides, not everyone goes to conventions and not everyone will see
all of the stars - I for one have never met any main stars from UFO.

I remember years ago watching an episode of Blake's 7 with two of the
stars in the audience commenting on it - and it was fantastic and
when I heard that DVDs were doing this - it was like a dream come
true. Of course I would still love to meet the people and that
brings up another point.......

Many conventions I have attended over the years had their autograph
line right after the guests main talk. This meant that by the time
you got in line after the talk was over - you were either waiting
hours or possibly being cut form the line entirely. So, many times I
had the leave the talk early to get in line - missing the great
stories and such. I know not all cons are like that - I was curious,
how UK and other cons handled their schedules? How does Fanderson so
it?

I think Fanderson does it differently at each con, due to all the
complaints they get about how it was done at their previous con. :-)
Actually, at Century 21, the guests talked, and then at the end of
the day there was an autograph line with one big long line for all
the guests. So no matter who you wanted to see, you had to stand in
the one line. I opted not to stand in the line because it was so
incredibly long, but in retrospect I regret it. My only problem with
what happened was that some fans brought a dozen photos to autograph,
so they held up the line (and all those photos showed up on eBay the
next week). I understand they fixed that in later cons by charging
you money if you want more than one thing autographed.

YES! That's how a lot of Creation cons are - twits. I've had to leave
talks to go get in line. The last con I went to, you could pay extra for
a *GUARANTEED* seating at the talk and a guaranteed autograph - those
who didn't pay extra just may not get in or get an autograph. I know
that George Takei sat for HOURS and signed EVERYone's autograph and
Bruce Campbell does the same, but hey, can't blame a person for not
wanting to get writer's cramp.

One Trek con - Actually, a Klingon con - I went to did that - one big
line. I got all the guests to sign my con program, but I ain't parting
with it! (Unless I have a desperate need for money in the future <eep>)
I covet allllllllll my con stuff and photos and autographs. It's mine!
All MINE! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
