A fan, a few people in front of me, had a cast poster from
SDCC. Since she wasn’t at the convention, he was adding her name. He explained
a little about how he got it. She wasn’t
aware of the raffle process and the slim number that were successful. Another fan
brought the Psych book that some of the cast signed at another SDCC. It was great to see these items. I never got
close to winning those raffles.
The guy in front of me explained that he binged Psych while
recovering from a recent illness. His mother was there. Kirsten asked about his favorite episode. He panicked
a little but she prompted him with some great suggestions (the T-Rex, or Yin Yang
episodes, or the Spanish Soap Opera). I forgot
what he said as it made me think about my favorite. It’s hard to choose.
As I handed over my photo, she asked my name. I told her. She
introduced herself. We shook hands. Then I mentioned how much I enjoyed standing
in line. It was great to see what other people were getting signed but also listening
in to the conversations.
I decided I would tell her my favorite. It was the one with George
Takei (who was also at the convention about 50 feet away from her). She laughed
and said she really liked that one too. It
was because she gave birth...and the episode was really about her. We both
laughed. It was my favorite nor only because I was big Trekkie but it was the first
episode I watched. I wasn’t a viewer but my parents convinced me to watch this episode.
They wanted to know if that was what ComicCons were really like.
We chatted some more (a really relaxed encounter) but as
much as I would have liked hanging out more, I had more autographs to get and
she had mor people in line.
Then she thanked me by name…and I paused. She remembered my
name. I mentioned that and that I was really impressed. I so want that skill. She
thanked me again and I left with a huge smile.
