For me, one of the longer lines at Big Texas ComicCon was
the line for Jamie Campbell Bower. The girls were in line for Twilight or Stranger
Things. And before you guess incorrectly,
I was in line for Stranger Things.
When I finally got in front of Jamie, I handed over the
photo and he gave me a suggestion on color to use. I vetoed and suggested another and he said
his pens of that color were crap. So, we compromised with the light blue, which
I actually like.
Then I mentioned SDCC. Yes, I’m known to do that. I told him
I got his autograph there for The Prisoner. He looked up with shock. He paused. Then asked me how long ago was
that. I told him I don’t remember but we
were both a lot younger. (I checked and it was 2009) He smiled. Then he said wistfully,
he could drink a lot more back then.
We briefly threw names back and forth about that show. Jim Caviezel and Lenny James were at the table and also signed. Then he mentioned Ian McKellen and Hayley Atwell were also in the show…which I did not know. They were not signing. Or at least I wasn’t aware of that.
He asked how I got the autographs for The Prisoner. He asked
if I was press or a studio employee. I briefly said SDCC did a raffle and I was
lucky.
The AMC booth at SDCC also did credit card sized ID card. As a fan, they took your photo and assigned you a number. I remember watching this updated version of the Prisoner not liking
it. The version with Patrick McGoohan is a favorite and it was hard to see
a re-visioning.
I’m posting an image of the signed item from SDCC. The signatures for Jamie and Lenny are much different from 2009.
