MinkyKnights Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 As you might expect (re: my avatar), I'm very happy with this announcement. The 'hour only' thing is a bit scary, but it's probably worth remembering that Mr Harryhausen is 89 years old. Heck, there'll be no whip-cracking from me. I'll try to see him and hope I'm lucky.

Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted November 25, 2009 Showmasters Admin Share Posted November 25, 2009 Ray is a sponsered guest and is coming to sign at the Cinema Store dealers table. He is therefore being looked after by them, not Showmasters. As far as the numbers getting through and the gold pass question, these will need to be asked of them on the day.

cultman1 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I can advise that Ray is hoping to be on The Cinema Store stand for at least the morning from 10am. He is greatly looking forward to the event. From Bruce Campbell The Cinema Store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinkyKnights Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 What's the procedure for this, Bruce? Will it be possible to get another item signed as well, as long as you buy a book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cultman1 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 What's the procedure for this, Bruce? Will it be possible to get another item signed as well, as long as you buy a book?

He is greatly looking forward to the event. From Bruce Campbell The Cinema Store As you can imagine, this is exciting for many of us. I'm travelling all the way from Belgium and hope to meet this legend as well. Is there a limit to the amount of autographs? I would like two or three maybe. And do you know the cost? Thanks!
