When I entered the building, I saw her line was short and I jumped
right in. There were about 15 people in front of me. It should only be 10
minutes. I figured at worst, I’d be out
of line in 30 minutes.
This convention had 4 people from Warehouse 13. The actors are extremely personable and fan friendly.
One of the fan friendly things they did
was table photos. Usually, a table photo is a ‘lean in’ and done quickly. It’s cheaper than the official photo op and also
saves the fan time.
The warehouse team wasn’t into ‘lean ins’ where you lean over
the table. They were into coming out from
behind the table or bringing the fan back behind the table. This is far nicer than
the standard lean in. It’s time consuming
but a much richer fan experience.
Well, let’s kick that fan experience up another notch,
BAM! Let’s have any of the other cast members
join the photo op. So, if you are in
line with Eddie McClintock, you can ask for Allison or Saul or Jamie to join. Yes,
you need to cough up a little more money but wow. AND the actors are posing
with you. They aren’t just looking up to
smile; they are doing goofy things to make the photo more interesting. You can’t argue with that. It was awesome for the fans.
With 4 actors doing table shots and people dragging everyone
else into the photo, my line of 15 was really a line of 100. I was in line for 1 ½ hours before I got to Allison
and see her beautiful smile.
I repeated what I said the day before about the chemistry
between her and Saul. She smiled. I then commented about people kissing Jesse
Rath’s poster. I asked if anyone kissed her
poster yet. She paused. I could tell I threw a stick into the
spokes. I think, she thought, I was thinking,
I wanted to kiss her poster.
She used that pause for good. She responded that it might be
funny to put lipstick on Jesse and have him come over. I laughed and relieved we didn’t take that
conversion when I thought, she thought, I was thinking.
AH
