  1. Does anyone know why the talk was cancelled? On that note -- when will a schedule be posted that shows all the free/open talks? :) Thanks!
  2. Totally, utterly and absolutely agreed :) I loved his charming humor because it didn't seem boisterous but instead, self-depreciating like you said!
  3. Man, I wasn't dissing any crew members. I was just sayin' that the guy I asked didn't know. I wasn't making a big deal out of it, just mentioning it along the way. I figured that perhaps for the big headliner guests, the crew members should know, not moaning about the one who didn't know - it was more meant as a suggestion for how SM handles their poor crew volunteers who I bet are being swarmed with questions like that on a constant basis.
  4. Man, you guys are quick with the guest announcements! And a cool guest too Looking forward to it already!
  5. Oh yes, bring Nicole Kidman over and ask her to bring her husband. Her current one *chuckles* Make European country music fans happy *grins*
  6. I've only ever gotten 1 signature from a stage door signing, and that was Patrick Stewart's. That said, he was amazing - when it took a bit longer for him to come down due to the show wrapping party that night he sent his assistant with a whole plate of hors d'oeuvres for us and then, when he did come down, he took his time talking to the few fans that were there (and there really weren't many, just about 15 of us) and signed everything people shoved at him. He was very friendly and chatty. Despite that, I prefer signing events over stage door signings any day!
  7. He was such a lovely guest, and his talk was hilarious. I never would have guessed that he was dealing with having lost someone so close to him Poor guy. But he was a true professional, and like I said, absolutely wonderful!
  8. LOL When I got to the back of the hall first thing in the morning and asked a crew member (who was handing out VTs for .. either Kristanna Loken or Katee Sackhoff, can't remember now) where the VTs for William Shatner were being distributed, he didn't know, would have sent me in the completely wrong direction and I was only saved by a nice attendee who had just gotten a VT for Shatner and directed me in the right direction. As it was, I got VT #77 for the Saturday autograph session, so it wasn't bad, but I was surprised to see that anyone crewing wouldn't be able to answer such a question. At least they all were friendly :)
  9. There's reasons for that, but I can't get into those on the forum. It's nothing bad though. Oh, ok *chuckles* I was wondering if none of them read this forum or if they had hated it so much that they were given a gag order or something No, just kidding, I was just kinda .. wondering, idly, as I am wont to do Thank for sorta clearing it up for me a little :)
  10. Huh, mine was 74GBPs for 2 nights and the breakfast was great - also, the room was much more comfy and bigger even though it was a single (what you can't see from the pic was that there was a sink and a built-in closet as well within the room, still leaving comfortable floor-space). Doubles are roomier still. I know it ain't the Hilton, but it certainly did it for the 2 nights I was staying there. I'm kinda surprised none of the many crew I saw staying there have commented on the accommodations yet - I thought it was a darn good place at a very decent price in a great location.
  11. Thanks for giving us such a first-hand insight Glad he's well - got a chance to meet him and he is a lovely chap!
  12. I believe that the prints were mentioned in advance, so presumably you knew that you would be getting one. At that point I rather think it's your responsibility to arrange how you choose to transport it. I'm unsure why the organisers should go to the expense of buying several hundred cardboard tubes or whatever, especially as some people wouldn't need them (either because they're prepared and brought their own tubes, or because they're parked outside and can lay it flat on their car's parcel shelf, for example). I'm sorry if that sounds a tad harsh, but I rather think this is a "problem" for individuals to address, rather than the organisers. Yeah, it did say that, but it said nothing about the size these limited prints would have. Apparently, LucasCZ along with a whole lot of other people thought that it would be the regular print size that you also got at the autograph tables, 10x8, a size that is easier to accommodate in a suitcase or bag while traveling in an airplane. Please don't assume people are stupid and don't read - they very well might have but have had different expectations. Talking down on us makes you come across as helluv' condescending.
  13. I agree that he wasn't purposefully trying to be rude or not answer what people were asking or just pushing his own agenda - at his age (and apparently, plagued by tinnitus) and as someone more used to the Americanized English than the British one and with the sound system and people's voices being what they were, I don't find it surprising that he didn't fully understand everything that was being asked. And rather than make an ass out of himself by constantly asking for people to re- and re-repeat themselves, he did what people tend to do when they are embarrassed about not having fully understood - he took what he HAD understood and ran with it, hoping to hit the right answers in the process of talking at length about related stuff. All very human - and I, for one, found it endearing because .. well, it makes him so human too *chuckles*
  14. Dear Leslie, I got a chance to meet you and say hi and I've gotta say that you were a charming guest :) Also, I absolutely loved the talk you guys gave! Rock on!
