Oh, love the picture. Sounds like you had a great time. Sorry I missed it myself. Might have come out for that con if I had known it was going on. Would have loved to see all the actors especially Bruce Greenwood.
OMG, I am just squeeing at how adorable that cast photo is, stand-in head shots and all. Kudos to you for engineering it! DS9 was probably my favorite too in terms of characters, although the original series will always hold a special place in my heart.
I started going to ST cons in about 1988 and it was similar: we'd hang around chatting with the lesser known actors (Majel Barrett, Mark Lenard, Walter Koenig back then) on the expo floor for ages, but the big stars drew ginormous crowds and we'd stand in line forever for autographs. But they weren't the money-making machines that commercial cons are now - no paying extra for anything. You paid one price for one entry and that let you into everything, including all autograph lines.
