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.
