the last guest was a suprise ... I had enough cash and patience to get one more guest's picture/autograph.
initially i wanted my son and i to get a pic with Roddy Piper (i got his autograph friday but i saved the photo for saturday when my son would be there - but we didnt get the chance)
so when i got out of the shatner nimoy thing my wife and son were somewhere alse and i couldnt find them ..plus - Roddy Piper was gone ... he was in his Q and A and wouldnt be returning.
so i thought - shit - the only guy left was Vern Troyer (Mini-Me) but every time i passed his line he didnt look like he was into the whole signing thing... but i thought what the hell ..
I still wasnt thrilled because my son wanted to meet him and he wasnt around. I figured i might as well do it - i brought Goldmember to get signed and the guests were quickly starting to leave so i got in the short line.
Man what a suprise ... he turned out to be one of the best guys there. He was talkative and super nice - my impressions from a distance were complete crap... I asked him about Michael Caine and we chatted about that for a bit ... if other people werent in the lineup i'm sure we could have talked for a long time ..
I asked him if i could get a picture of him and he asked... dont you want to be in it and started asking a guy to take my camera and get a pic of us .. when just then my wife and son miraculously appeared - perfect timing - so my son joined me for the pic.
he was eating this sticky gross sucker so i stopped him from shaking Verns hand just in time (that would have been lovely)
so we all did the 'knuckle rap' instead ..
a great way to end the con !
