With the attendance on Sunday so light, the Frank Welker
line was ‘short’. Maybe 50 people. I got in line. This was the best chance I have
seen in 5 or 6 years. I was going to finally do it.
And of course, as soon as I got him line, he stepped away to
do photo ops. But he wasn’t gone for long. AND I actually had a guy next to me
that was nice. We chit-chatted. Not insistently. It was casual. With lots of
breaks and no urgent need to continue the conversation. As we waited, he suggested
I get Paul Walter Hauser’s signature. Paul was at his table and no one was in
line. I took my line buddy’s offer and got that signature.
Frank came back and the line started to move. Not fast, but not slow either. People were getting to converse but not give their whole life story.
I know most people would get Megatron signed from Transformers.
I did not grow up with Transformers. All I know, is from the movies. Yeah, I have
no street cred. But I do know Scooby Doo. And Frank voices Fred. Yes, you heard
that right. And he also did Scooby. How about that?
I also did something I don’t often do; I got 2 items signed.
I have been doing that more often, haven’t I?
He signed the Megatron photo. Then I handed over the
Freddie. He wanted to sign in white. I shook
him off. I suggested the blue. I liked the result. And you know what? The Wife agreed. She said
it goes well with the shirt collar. It’s nice when The Wife and I agree on something.
