Guest Encounters of D*Con 2010

So, as I duck what my friends have been calling the "Tail of the Dragon," i.e. ConCrud and post-con funk, I was reflecting on the awesome encounters and experiences I had. I posted a Celebrity Encounters thread last year and it was a lot of fun, so I thought I'd do it again.

This year's faves for me, besides hanging out with Emerald Rose, Tom Smith, and Marc Gunn, had to be standing with Dean Stockwell in the Marriott elevator bay, watching him watch several Stargate-suited guys try to cram a huge inflated T-Rex into an elevator. That was amusing. Then I spent over half an hour hanging with Jason Carter on the Walk of Fame, talking about driver's licenses, the existence of God, signing pieces of flesh, and reciting pieces of poetry...all the while ducking his windmilling arms! Jason's not just one of my favorite guests, he's one of my favorite people. :-)

So, speak up...what were your memorable guest moments this year?

Short backstory, ex- and I are still great friends, and she's a Trek geek from Europe.

I complimented Brooks' voice, and he pointed up and said, "My father. It's from my father." I also said how great it was to hear him in nature specials, he sounds so authoritative. When I asked if he could sign something, he said, "To whom should I sign it?" With my experiences with Trek stars last year, I wasn't even going to ask for personalization, but he offered... so I said, "Magdalena." "Magdalena! And who," he said with a knowing smile, "is Magdalena?" "An ex-girlfriend..." "EX-girlfriend?" "She's the one who got me into Deep Space Nine..." "You need to tell her she made a mistake!"

LOL! about DS9 or trek in general?

I think he was saying she made a mistake by breaking up with me.
Not true, but sweet nonetheless.
