I have  diamond pass, is there anything I need to know about the signings?  Do we just go the the queue, or do we need to collect any token or anything like that?  also how do we find out what time the star we want to see is doing their signings?

You get to queu according to the number on your Diamond Pass, you will know this number when you collect it in hall H, at the entrance. Bring your printed out ticket! Whenever the guest isn't having a photoshoot or a talk or lunch, you can assume he or she is signing.

It's a great movie, no doubt about that but also remember that it's a movie from the 70's, also it's not really sci-fi or superhero/comic related which is the main focus of the majority of people that attend LFCC. He's also there 3 days instead of most 'big' actors who are only there on saturday and/or sunday. So it would probably just be the easiest to do his talk on friday.

James Caan's career is long and varied. He has starred in Sci Fi movies (Rollerball, Alien Nation), Comic Book (Dick Tracy), Horror (Misery), Animation (Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs). He also stars in one of the best Christmas Movies ever (Elf). He's also appeared in several TV shows and even lent his voice to Video Games. So he pretty much fills all the criteria for LFCC.

I have the photo shoot with Momoa. Is there a way to also buy an autograph and have him sign a t-shirt? An upgrade or a special ticket for just the autograph.. My girl has the diamond pass and I read there's the option  for her to buy up to 5 autograph. If she pays for the additional autograph, can she decide to have him sign the shirt?

I realise a lot of work has gone into scheduling stuff, but just wanted to highlight a couple free panels on Saturday and Sunday

3 wrestling panels (including one with Jim Ross)

2 Panels with John Schneider (one with Dukes of Hazzard and one with himself alone)

Just thinking about balance, fairness and variety - could LFCC not fit-in a panel with James Caan on Sat or Sun instead of replicating panels with the above??
