Never expected it - don't know if he's a slow signer, but the numbers are not moving fast.

There was a bit of a queue for him yesterday, I think he's just a slow signer and likes to take time with the fans

Yes that was the reason. His daughter was taken ill suddenly (btw, if that was his daughter with him Sunday, she looked very nice :rolleyes: )

As for VQ tickets, there wasn't tickets to start with but as it got busier, they were handed out.

I was Brad's assistant on saturday and he got through an amazing amount I can't tell you the exact number but it was way more than the 170 you thought) considering he went off to settle his daughter into hospital which took a few hours.  
He loved meeting everyone and was very careful to ensure that everyone who came to meet him got exactly what they wanted. He personalised, wrote quotes and had pics with everyone who wanted one. We had to stop photos for about an hour at the end of the day,  beause there was a fear that he would end up turning people away which he really would have hated doing. Plus, when he'd finished the massive queue he had, he posed for pics with everyone who came back if he missed them earlier.

He was an absolute star.

ps. There were no VQ tickets at the beginning because it was quite hard to guage how busy he'd be but like someone else said, once they realised he was going to be busy they started handing them out.

Brad was very cool, i'm happy i got to meet him, it took a long time to get to him, he was on the phone for a while, then the guy in front of me handed over 14 things to get signed, during which Brad gave me a funny look and half shook his head  ;)

You must have been standing just in front of me 'cos I remember thinking "14?!?"  

It was just after he signed your stuff that he said he had to go to the hospital and I felt kinda bad for holding him up by wanting an autograph :thumbup:

Not sure I should give details on here but she was fine by sunday and even came to the show for a while.

Like I said before,  he was an absolute star and was desperate to make sure everyone who met him had a nice meeting. I hope he comes to another show.... He was a great guest. Glad you enjoyed meeting him  :D

I met Brad on Saturday, he wrote out a fairly long quote from Deadwood for me on a poster and posed for a photo, I had no idea he had other things on his mind. What a gentleman, how many other actors would have used the excuse he had and cancelled or turned up for the minimum time etc, you can be certain he obviously has time and respect for his fans.
