The Emperor Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Reconise a few of them like Tommy Weldin and Salo Gardner but who's the guy 6th in from the left with glasses? That is Mike Mungarvan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzic Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) I is pretty obvious that it was - for the most of them - their first convention and signing session... I checked my poster last night (the first time since Sunday) and there are words on it like: "stromtrooper", "A-wing piolot", "imerial scanning crew",... The actors in question didn't write it too big, so it doesn't really catch the eye when you look at it. Guess, this is one of those aspects that makes their signatures truly unique... Apart from this minor let-down, I had a great time! The fact that all the die-hard fans from the boards were there, certainly had something to do with that of course!

Alx Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hi guys, I haven't got much time at the moment, but I'll talk to you guys very soon. For everybody who couldn't be there (and Lee in particular), here is a shot of the guests at the Q&A (except for Warwick Davis, Peter Burroughs and Terry Sach, who - for some reason - didn't attend the Q&A) I'll post some more pictures as promised in the next few days! Cheers fellas, it was nice meetin' y'all! 931516[/snapback] All the guest were asked if they wanted to par take in the talks, and the guests who did not come in were not there by choice A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FON Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 some of the guests I spoke with just didn't understand why we wanted them to sign for us, so I guess the ones who did'nt attend the talk must have thought maybe their roles and time on the film were to short to have anything to discuss.

Mazzic Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 The ones who didn't attend were Warwick, Peter and Terry... I think they just weren't in the mood for it. I was really interested in the things the actors present had to say, but I just couldn't hear them. I think a microphone would have been a great help... too bad SM!

Guest Dr jones Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Did anyone notice that Terry Sachs only signed his autograph - Terry S I did notice a few people had Terry Sachs on there photo but i didnt - not that bothred though. Also when Stephen Fitzalan signed his autograph do you think he actually signed his autograph - It's just i've seen him credited as Stephen Holland which is what it says on convention-guests website. All he seemed to do was just write his name out - is that really how he signs the back of his credit cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FON Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 to be fair these guys have probably never signed their names more then a couple of times a day, never mind hundreds of times. I think I had Terry S also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bounty Hunter Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Lee, you are right. My mistake. I'm strong in the Force but not that strong Emperor, it was a pleasure, mate. Impressive photos you had brought along from your meets and greets. Mighty impressed! Good on you! Fon, I'm sorry we didn't have to for a beer, mate. You had to leave real soon (which I completely understand, mind you). Hope to chat a while longer when we next meet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FON Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 It was a pleasure to finally met you Mark, but next time I'm sure we'll have a lot more time for a chat. I had to be back in cardiff by 3pm or my other option was to miss empire day and Id been looking forward to it for to long to do that. As a result or rushing I missed the talks and also forgot to pack my camera. Mark I can't get the link to your empire day newsletter to open on your site?

Mazzic Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Maybe you guys should come over and visit us at one of the next European conventions? Although I doubt if they are going to be worth it guestwise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_c00per Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I would love to but as you said, it's down to guests. If there are some cool star wars guests we should all arrange to go to another event or maybe FX Show in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee_c00per Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I was ou there 2 moths ago when the FX show was on but didn't go. I absoluely love Florida. Have you been to the ANOTHER EVENT? I never have but so want to go if there's normally 30 or so signers plus much more. Maybe we could all go next year LEE, you know the rules but you keep breaking them, this is the second post of yours I have had to edit within the space of a minute. Please stop breaking the rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzic Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 At those US conventions there is normally a lot of queueing... like another for example: I have met the same guests in the UK and the rest of Europe and never had to wait longer then 30 minutes or so to meet them. I think it's a bit dumb to wait in line for a few hours to see the same people... Nevertheless I was considering to go to Miami or the Keys this Summer...
