Gillian does a few shows a year but we have never crossed
paths. I can’t say I’ve ever seen David listed
at a convention. So I was immediately on
the phone when LightSpeed announced preorders for these two.
David was a limited signing; he was only appearing on
Thursday. While I needed to wait in
line, the line wasn’t long. And since this was a cattle call (in and out with
no conversation), the wait was short too.
The young lady in front of me showed off her canvas painting
of ‘I Want to Believe’ poster. David
seemed interested and asked a couple of questions and the lady also squealed in
joy. Gillian just signed.
As a halo effect, I caught David’s interest and he smiled
at me and said hello. I think if I put my hand
out, he would have shaken it. I know I muttered something about really enjoying
Californication; but as I said I muttered it and he didn’t respond. I had wanted to say something about seeing StephenTobolowshy and his comments about the upcoming season but I was out the door
before I could say thank you to Gillian Anderson.
While not the most personal encounter it was memorable and exciting. These were 2 signatures I have wanted for a long time.

Somehow, even though David and I never touched, I know he implanted an earworm on me. After I left the booth, I heard the X-File's tune in my head. I must have been whistling it under my breath for the next hour.
The Truth Is Out There.
