First time, I met Jeri we were given instructions like no personalised autograph, no chattingand other things and never told why, just would have been nice to know.

ptenbob Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Late to the party, but... From a sheer logistical point of view, someone signing their name only (for instance) can take 2 seconds. It's a practiced art. They've done it hundreds if not thousands of times in their life and the pen just flows. Writing an unfamiliar name can take another 30 seconds, more if there's an unusual spelling or if they make a mistake and have to start again. Every personalisation can mean that 2 attendees don't get to meet the guest (long time crew here, I'm talking from actual experience). Now, I do *completely* agree that personalisation is awesome. I've got many over the years made out to me and it does add that extra something, but at the end of the day I also appreciate that there's more than just me wanting to meet the guest. As I've said before, if you had ticket number 900, you'd be glad there are no personalisations in place today... Just another side to the discussion, no offence or pointed jabs meant at anyone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I'm holding out hope for a Cumberlisation one day Ptenbob. Your words are wise! People say it doesn't take long but it does add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, 1 person actually did if memory serves, our own Rob Moriarty! So it's possible. Unlikely, but possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has happened though, there were a handful of people who got a personalization from him at LFCC 2016 so maybe if I wish really really hard it could happen.

I'd have preferred the personalisation to keep in theme with my entire autograph collection to date, but I guess a RT article and mild Twitter frenzy will just about suffice as 2nd prize... *sigh* Edited April 17, 2018 by robmoriarty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many ways it made my line better. Had he personalised I'd have gone with "I'm amazed you have personalised, especially given my surname." As he didn't I went with "it's probably just as well you didn't personalise," etc... Moriartys, you see. Always thinking at least two steps ahead of everyone else... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
