OK, that's it. For whatever reason, I have typed up Saturday's report TWICE and the computer ate it. THAT'S IT. I'VE HAD IT. I'm posting the damn pics and leaving the story out of it!

I'm at so frakin' mad at this piece of machinery right now!

Here! Enjoy before I take a baseball bat to this thing! Warning, image heavy.

( Saturday pics, no story.........dammit! )

I was like 5th row isle on the right side of the room for the Stargate panel. Seems that we both got great seats!

HAHAHAHA!!! It sounds like he came to that photo op straight from Chicago... Black shirt, black pants and flip flops ( ... )

You mentioned being rushed through an autograph line in Chicago. Well, down here it was the photo line, but at least it involved being squished up against Joe for a moment before you moved on. As far as his autograph, you couldn't stay forever, but you definitely had a couple of minutes to speak to them, and they would definitely personalize your autograph with your name. (Now Nimoy/Shatner/Stewart? No personalization, even with the high price tag ( ... )

Thank you for these reports, seems Joe adapted to the large con since in Chicago he told a few people he wasn't looking forward to it b/c of the size.

That makes sense. On stage, Joe was "on"--he was animated, funny, intelligent. In person, he was much more reserved, quiet, but polite. I had the impression he was a private individual that was trying to take 35,000 people in stride. I got the impression that "I will respect you if you will also respect my wishes". Did that make sense? He was kind, but slightly aloof, but not in a bad way. Just private.

From my pals who had done the cocktail thing before, Joe is a really private guy and I think after 5 years he still has a hard time dealings with the whole con/celb thing, but as you said takes it in stride while also being appreciative of his fans.

There was someone in Chicago who complained about Joe not doing one of the breakfast/desert things for Gold Memembers there. One of the handlers explained the last time Joe did one of those breakfast things where there 300 people at tables that you go to each table and chat with a for a few mints..anyways when he saw how many ppl were there from around the corner he was terrified and has backed up against the wall before taking a moment to deal with it. She said after that he stopped doing them---but does the private cocktail thing since it consists of 9 people.
