Great Celebrity encounters this year?

All right everyone, fess up...who had a great time meeting a D*Con guest this year?

My roommate had a memorable Skittle-related encounter w/Ghost Hunter Steve while I was bowled over by my time with Bruce Boxleitner (with a little side heckling from Peter Jurasik).

Bring on the stories!

Felicia Day was absolutely delightful. We were the first people in her autograph line, and she arrived without her handler, so she couldn't start signing or taking money until he got there. We ended up just standing there chatting with her for like 15-20 minutes until he got there, and she is completely down to earth, funny, friendly, and appreciative. Much love to Felicia. I already was a fan, but that encounter cemented my respect for her.

She was awesome. She squeed over my picture with John Schneider. :)

I saw her walking and very nicely asked to take a quick picture with her and she was very rude and refused. I understand she had table or you could pay for Froggy photos, but she is one of us. Kate Vernon and Richard Hatch had no problem at all taking free pics with me. I was really surprised at the snub.

Depending on the timing, she may have been walking to/from an event and didn't have time to stop (or explain).

The thing was we I probably talked to her for 30 seconds to a minute. In the time she kept giving me excuses about not wanting to take a picture (she wasn't happy about her make up) we could have taken it 3 times. Yes, she was walking somewhere, but I was walking with her. I've got very good at not slowing people down to get a quick pic.

Sometimes celebs might need a break and the fact that you kept walking with her and asking could have justifiably ticked her off. They do have the right to say no, It sure would aggravate me if I were a celeb and nicely said no and a fan persisted and kept walking with me. On the other hand if she was rude from the start then she has no business being in show business, fans and autographs come with the territory. Was she rude when you initially asked?
