Earlier that day I learned I needed to buy the DVDs and
stand in line. I was told that by buying the DVDs in advance I was a ViP and could
skip the line. They neglected to tell me everyone was buying the DVDs in
advance. So no line skips. That was my
mistake. I should have known better.
It was toward the end of the day on Friday. I was tired and
my feet hurt. I had one other autograph
to get and the timing was tight. I needed
to be done with this signing within 45 minutes to have time to make the other line at the Fox booth. When I
showed up, about 50 people were ahead of me.
I started watching the clock. At the start time, Adrienne Barbeau and Len Wein
hadn’t shown. Still with 50 people, there
would be plenty of time to process the fans.
the heart rate barely increased. They did arrive just a few minutes late.
The line moved slowly. As I watched the clock and counted the people
in front of me I knew I would need to make a decision: Stay or go.
