Which wasn't too long ago, actually. I first decided to go to London in October when I realized that Shater would be in Düsseldorf in May. I promised my mother to take her on a belated Mother's Day trip that Sunday, but then she cancelled our appointment. And off I went... :)

Nice!!! Was it your first time seeing the Shat in person? How did he compare to your expectations if you had any?

Yes, it was my first time. Actually, viewing him from the balcony was a bit like watching another YouTube video and when he started telling some of his stories I went all Homer Simpson inside ("Bo-o-o-o-oring!").
But I liked the relaxed atmosphere of the con. It didn't feel like 6000 people or what it was, more like a friends & family meeting.

Seeing him and Walter Koenig live, I really realised how young Shatner looks (talks, moves ...) compared to Koenig, who is five years his junior.

After a while he interrupted her, wondering if there was a question buried in her remarks.

HAH! I love it. People who gush on the mic instead of asking their question right away are one of the reasons why I fear the open mic segments of panels. Thanks for posting.

Felicia Day is also on the show Eureka. Love that show. I would love an opportunity to see the Shat live. He is just awesome. :) Thanks so much for sharing your experience!
