Avengers7 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Just wondering how everyone found Patrick Stewart today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzy Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I noticed he only signed for 3 hours again today- but obv no probs cos it was open q for most of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zephyrbrett Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Really good surprisingly. As everyone one was getting marched through we went up and he liked the photos I had taken along for him to sign so he started talking about 3 of them so I had a great experience.

Avengers7 Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Have to say, as nice as he was we were ushered in and out very quickly again so that he could sign for everyone in the q. He told me that he couldn't shake my hand because he had to sign sign sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonniesrg Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Really a pleasure to meet, he asked how I was I said fine, so I asked him back and he said good, especially cause he had some coffee.lol. And I got to stand and stare at him for an additional 10 secs before he signed my 8x10's while he took a sip of his coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatrixKiddo88 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Yes it was very good. Nearly as fast as Wiliam Shatner but with added talking and looking up lol  Seemed like a gentleman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinggodzillak Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Yeah, much better. 117 VQ instead of last year's 1072. Except he's buggered up the up/down/up/down rotation on my horizontal cast print. Damn you, Stewart!!!! Â Nah, it's great just to have it signed - and to follow that up with a great talk, and a free piece of fluff! What more could you want? Â I've just changed my avatar to show that all is forgiven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avengers7 Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Free piece of fluff? I had a tiny square of carpet!!! Not sure what to do with it though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carson the Muskrat Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Sadly I was unable to attend today and was just wondering if Patrick Stewart was personalising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avengers7 Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 (edited) No personalising - he was going through a lot of signatures a minute! Edited July 20, 2008 by reddragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Soul Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Didn't go to see him, mainly because of the price. But I was astonished to see that he was open queue at half 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) Happened so fast I didnt get to mention I wanted the sig in the top corner of my poster and not in the middle. Also I got a bit tingue tied with what I wanted to say to him, so that was a bit of a downer. Glad to meet him though.

Kyle Beech Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 It was quick but nice he thanked me for seeing him and said hi to me and actually looked up for being an extreemly busy guest he was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superman. Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Here's a nice little Patrick moment I witnessed, Â When I was at the desk of David Warner Patrick walked behind David to leave & David said "Patrick darling, look what someone gave me" David pulled out a A4 picture (I could not see what it was other than it was B&W) Patrick looked at it & said "my goodness look at that" than put his hand over his mouth while shakeing his head (My guess is it was a pic of David & Patrick from then they were younger). David said "isn't that incredible", Patrick put his one arm around David while handing the photo back with the other & said "I love you" & kiss David on the forehead. Â I thought that was really nice, looks like they are old friends that really love each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennybear Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) I was 4th in the queue and i did hear him say to the chap in front he is not shaking hands today but he was very pleasant aknowledged me and thanked me for coming which was great. Short but a very pleasant experience. Fairplay to showmasters when that annoying French TV crew tried to push to the front the tall crewmember told them where to go in no uncertain terms.

kensei Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Patrick Stewart was amazing I loved his talk and he was very courteous when signing my autograph (I managed to get in just as they declared it an open queue) Â I was a bit annoyed at the woman taking the money for the autographs as she was very rude and obviously overtired. Still, it was utterly horrible to see someone roll their eyes and gesture uncaringly to the different pictures when I asked which one she liked. Glad to see people enjoyed helping out at the con :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosfer2 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 It was great - I had time to tell him how much I'd enjoyed seeing him in Antony and Cleopatra, to which he replied "It was a good little show, wasn't it?", and signed my 'I, Claudius' DVD - and he was on good form during the talk. Anyone know what I could use to store the Enterprise bridge sample safely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDonovan Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I had a "Anthony And Cleopatra" programme for him to sign. He seemed genuinely surprised to see it, and asked me if I enjoyed it - I said I did, but was gutted to have missed him in "The Tempest", so I asked him to come back.

Â How funny - I missed that show too (couldn't get a ticket for love nor money!). I do hope he plays that part again as I was gutted not to get to see it.

Â I know - was very annoying - like you I just couldn't get a ticket. Pity since it's definitely my favorite Shakespeare play - and seeing it with Patrick Stewart would have been fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Fooku Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I saw him when he was probably in his real full flow of signing so not much time to chat or anything but he gave a nod and approval noise at the Smiley's People DVD I asked him to sign. He even flipped it round to have a look at his picture with Alec Guiness on the back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farqhuarbeedlebum Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Managed to get a thank you out of him but unfortunately there were two little fanboy idiots in front of my trying to ask a "do you remember in that one show" question ........... I was about to start kicking them when one of the crew came over (thanks crew).........so if you're reading this idiot-boys my friends Keith and alan thank you for ruining any chance of facetime with Mr. Stewart .....have some consideration in the future and assume that no handshake or personalistion also means no inane questions :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selby Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Amazing the guy ruled and would love to meet him again. He talked to me asked how I was etc and made eye contact all the time I can't see how he has a bad rep he was a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentinel Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Have to agree with everyone here; good albeit brief experience - he's gave a smile and eye contact when we went to the desk, and did the same again with a thank you after he signed. Seemed like a genuinely nice guy who tried very hard to welcome everyone even though he was initially very busy. Top man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
