I did not include his name in the above post because all he signed for me was a promotional flyer for a <em>Star Trek</em> computer game; I instead used Nicole de Boer and her framed photo to represent the genre. I'm not terribly concerned with "impressing" others, as my experience is that it means "to be held in higher regard for one's possessions than for one's character." Although I suppose it does have its uses: Wayne Gretzky's autograph I got for both my middle brother and for my manager at work ten years ago. A week later, I got a promotion. Coincidence?

Each time you mentioned it, Hiphopguy23 shrugged and replied, "Who?". Here you mention Wayne Gretzky's autograph. Now Hiphopguy23 is impressed! Why don't you start with mentioning the greatest hockey player of all time? You've mentioned John de Lancie's autograph five times to Hiphopguy23.

That said, you'd be surprised at how little many actors make on the residuals from shows and movies that are decades old. Fortunately, such events allow fans to pick and choose what they want to see. I'm glad that you also enjoyed meeting various people, and I hope that the cost won't dissuade you from joining me next year!
