It seems every year I have success at the USA Film Festival.
I rarely get autographs from the same person more than once.
I do make expectations, especially when it comes to books. At this year’s
festival, I picked up 4 signatures that I have gotten before. Some I have previously written about and some
I haven’t.
Udo Kier – He was nice. He walked to the front door and stopped
to sign for us. Then he saw how many people wanted his autograph. He said he would
sign but he wanted to it inside the theater. I assume he wanted out of the sun
and the heat. Like the Pied Piper, we followed him 
to the lobby and handed him
our items. He tried to personalize everything.

Stephen Tobolowky – always a very gracious signer. He seems to
always stop, sign, and chat. My Wife knows him from Groundhog Day. I thought he
was funny in Californication. Everyone
is looking forward to seeing the Deadwood movie.
Traci Lords – I was happy to see her in Dallas. She is
interesting and has an interesting story. One of the hounds brought a copy of
her book and she mentioned she was happy to see someone actually buy it.
Dale Dickey – the previous time I got her autograph was at this
Film Festival many years ago. No one
knew she was there. I saw her sitting in a chair outside the theater and I just
stared. I wasn’t sure if it was her or not. At the time I was the only one to
notice her. I looked for her image on IMDB
and showed the photo to fellow hound. I asked
if he thought that was her. He said yes
and went straight over to and chatted with her. All I had at the time was a 3 x
5 card. This time I printed a
photo. While I would have loved an image
from My Name is Earl, I couldn’t find one I liked.
She is friendly and always tries to comment about the photos being handed her to sign. She gives a comment or two about the show or a quick amusing anecdote.
