yet another n00b with a question

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm reading all the things about photos and walk of fame and I'm just a little confused.

The Froggy things are like photo session right? Like, a professional photographer takes your photo with the star of your choice? Should these be purchased in advance or can I decide when I get there?

But if I just want to get an autograph, can I just get in line for that? What if my friend snaps a candid photo of me getting the autograph? Will I be jumped by the handlers in the area?

This is my first convention, so I'm new to this whole thing. Tips and tricks appreciated.

Except for the Nimoy/Shatner/Stewart ones, I wouldn't worry about the photo-ops running out at the con. You can save a few bucks by buying there instead of online (because of PayPal fees). But it's cash only at the con. Froggy's sessions move rather quickly. You show up in the designated area, get in line once the celebrity arrives, and things start rolling. You get a few seconds to say hi and strike a pose, then it's on to the next person. My only suggestion is to get the photos done on Friday or Saturday in case something goes wrong. If something bad happens on Sunday, you don't have a day to make it up.

Yes, you wait in line in the Walk of Fame if you want to get autographs and chat with the guests for a brief period. You have a higher chance of getting a candid if your friend turns the flash off. Just be discrete and you can get away with it in most cases. However, some handlers could be in a bad mood, so be warned.
