Guest Encounters of D*Con 2010

[ladystarblade.livejournal.com]

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?

It is among the very best of shows, both animated and not. I got into it just because of all the ST:TNG actors doing the voices, but I stayed because it was just that awesome.

When I saw that Gargoyles was on the D*Con schedule, I squeeed like crazy. I had hoped they would do a panel, but when Salli Richardson-Whitfield canceled I thought we were out of luck. I hope they do another one if she comes back next year. The Eureka people seemed really keen to all be there.

I got into it because Goliath and Xanatos was hot. It was easy to please me as a teen.

Salli didn't make it because of shooting, but from what I noticed with Erica and Neil when talking at their table, there was a big regret for not making it. Considering how bouncy they still are over the con, I'd say there's a good chance that should shooting work out, she'll come along to play. Considering Colin's already been asked back at the con, I'm assuming they made an impact.
