aayesha Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Jacko did do a signing event a few years ago in Japan. I think it was about £300 a ticket, to get to meet him. it was $5000 each auto with the best prof you can have a photo with him and now its worth that money and so much more , now what would a lot of us pay to meet this man :-( no more they paid and got something real great they meet him jason he did a signing?! how the hell did i miss that!? although in fairness i'd have been in my early teens and had severe lack of money to go to japan way back when....although apart from getting older....i still have no money haha. such a shame about him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bundyse Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Whoopi Goldberg before anyone says she wouldn't do one. if you watch the extras on the Blu Ray Star Trek movies collection she says she would do one but has never been asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its the thoughts that a lot of people on here have - that the guest is too big to be asked, but you never know unless you ask them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Fooku Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Whoopi Goldberg before anyone says she wouldn't do one. if you watch the extras on the Blu Ray Star Trek movies collection she says she would do one but has never been asked Thats her story, after all it can make a good get out so she is still perceived as fan friendly without the hassle of coming into too much contact with the great unwashed. Look at some of those huge ST events in the US for example, I find it virtually impossible to imagine she has never been approached to attend one of them.

Robin is a really lovely guy, real fan pleaser. I met him when he was over last and he signed 2 things and posed for a photo and he did the same for pretty much everyone. Wes Craven was booked for the other lot once wasnt he, had to cancell though. Dont know if that was meant to be a 1st time signing though or not?

I'm sure he was booked to appear at another UK event last year and he either cancelled or it was just a strong rumour that the organiser didn't deny so I'd say he was a possibility.

cyberem78 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Hey, haven't really kept up with this thread seeing as it's 90 pages long now but the last post with the "take the Mickey" line made me think it could be a hidden clue and the guest is called Micheal something. Mickey Rourke? I can't think of any other Michaels right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
