Manu Bennett #SDCC 2013

When Manu Bennett’s name appeared in the autograph area’s list, I was excited. I was also slightly pessimistic as I was sure the line would be long.  I rarely have lots of free time at SDCC.  So while I wanted his autograph, I figured it would stay on the want list for now.

As I was walking on the expo floor, I noticed that the Quantum Mechanix booth was having signings.  Manu Bennett was going to be there at various times through the show.  My pessimism was turning optimistic.

When I left Claudia Black I noticed no line for Manu.  In fact, I notice no Manu.  I walked over to confirm how much he was charging and when he would be back. The cute handler mentioned the price and that he was there.  He had stepped away to take a call.  She told me to wait a moment.

I waited.  Manu walked back and sat down and immediately stated chatting with the young handler.  I was ignored.  Okay.  Been there and done that.  I figure it was going to be one of THOSE types of encounters.  No worries. It wasn’t going to ruin my day or my ComicCon.
