I did not enjoy this con as much as the last. I enjoyed it very much, but quite simply put, it was a game of priority and sacrifice. Of course, you can't see everything, there was so much going on that in order to fend of exhaustion I had to say no to certain things.
Although things certainly seemed a little more controlled, I could not but perceive that this con was more of an attraction for people because of the big named celebrities.
What burst my bubble a little was waiting in line for Bill Shatner, knowing that I had to to do this otherwise there would be no other chance. I finally got to him and I politely asked him to personalise my Boston Legal dvd when his handler was suddenly very abrupt. I understand, as I stated before. It's just, you spend 75 dollars, wait in line to get the ticket, wait in line for the signing and get a very subtle and brief 'Thank you'. Not being whiny or anything, I suppose it's just my first time with a very big celebrity, Malcolm McDowell asside.
I'm still suprised that the dealer rooms were full on both Sunday and Monday morning. Last year it was a ghost town, people were in bed or resting or doing other stuff.
