Lizzy Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) It was previously thought that Wil has a phobia of flying, but it seems this has now either relaxed or gone as he's now appearing at an event outside of the US! He would be an AMAZING guest to meet, for either CM MK, which is in the same month, or even sooner for EMS or later for Warp 10. We CAN'T miss out on getting Wil over here for a show if he's now willing to travel! I'm sure he'd be a HUGE draw for Trek fans, plus Leverage fans! Also, I'll add that Garrett Wang is going to this con (not been to a SM show since 2005), and Carel Struycken (Mr Homm- not been to a SM show!) and Marina Sirtis, SM favourite who hasn't been to a show in a while either. I can't be alone with this request! (oh, and while I'm at it- Nichelle Nichols, Nana Visitor, Casey Biggs, Vaughn Armstrong, Brent Spiner, Jon Frakes are doing quite a few US cons this year that don't seem to clash with any of SM's dates. Yes please for all!!) Edited January 25, 2011 by Lizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted January 25, 2011 Showmasters Admin Share Posted January 25, 2011 I've removed the reference to the other event because Jason is fully aware of it as he goes to it almost every year and so doesn't need to be referenced to make your case. I agree it would be great to have him to either MK or LFCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzy Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Can I at least edit it to read that he's going to a EU con? Or some of the rest of the post doesn't make much sense for people not aware of it who are reading this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted January 25, 2011 Showmasters Admin Share Posted January 25, 2011 How's that? If you want to re-edit it, not a problem, it was just a bit much before with the country and the specific dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzy Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Just sorted the sentence structure lol! I just wanted to make the point with the dates that it was near to MK, in case he fancied a long holiday to do the 2 in the same month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzy Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Excellent. If you could add the other names into your bugging too, that'd be mighty helpful lol!! The upcoming Wedding is seriously restricting my finances and ability to travel, hummm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Fooku Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Whilst I'm not especially a fan of the Big Bang Theory, if he was to attend I might be tempted to bellow "WHEATON...WHEATON...WHEATON" in a Shatner style, especially if I somehow wasn't able to get something signed by him!

JacknDaniel Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Would love to meet Wil. Also have to add I've recently seen Carel Struycken in Twin Peaks and thought he'd be good to meet but I actually thought he had died a while back. Glad to see I was mistaken!

Though they cut Wesley out this photo... Ok, add him, make Troi me and it's sorted ...oh, and I guess I'd better stick James in somewhere, too. Or I could just stick with Riker? That sounds acceptable!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackewing98 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I would be great to meet Wil, one of the main cast members I haven't yet met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farqhuarbeedlebum Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Wil is an amazing guest, he usually does a reading from one of his books or a general talk about geekdom. His story about meeting William Shatner is ..... enlightening :) As far as I know (and I'm open to corrections) he doesn't like to charge for autographs, so not sure how SM would handle that ..... actually I'm curious to know if any previous guests have ever signed without charging?

Lizzy Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 I think Seth Green is another one that's not meant to like charging... but he's never been over as a guest to any show as far as I'm aware. I believe that Wil will likely charge at this show... I've been told prices for autographs and pre-orders should be up soon, so I guess that'd give us our answer! Plus, we're in a tough climate... people's finances change and they may be willing to both ignore a flying phobia and start charging if needs must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Simon Pegg attended LFACC a few years back, I believe that rather than paying for a signature, you paid £15 or whatever it was to attend his talk and an in person autograph was included in the price. Only downside to that was he could only do so many autographs because they were limited by the number of talk tickets that could be sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His LFCC must have been before I discovered SM I remember he did the manchester one a while back. When they were promoting Hot Fuzz if I recall correctly. Him and Nick Frost did a talk and then you got another ticket to queue to get them to sign a promo for the film maybe, I cant really remember. But it was free both the talk and the autograph.

Count Fooku Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 It was a few years ago when LFACC was at Wembley Arena or somewhere like that. I think it wasn't long after Shaun of the Dead came out if memory serves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been 2 years before I found out about these events. LFCC 2006 was my 1st due to the Lost guests. They should bring Simon Pegg back. Just finished his book, wouldn't mind getting that signed. And of course Will Wheaton would be cool. I can't stand TNG, but his appearances on the Big Bang Theory have been pretty funny so far.

Avengers7 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Don't ask me why but I've just bought Stand By Me on Bluray. I'd never seen it before and was blown away by the performances which were fantastic. Hopefully it would be possible to see Wil Wheaton at an event soon.
