The Flash) at Dallas Comic Con, Plano TX
I got an 8x10 of him as Pollux signed, and we both geeked over the first series, since the new series was still years away at the time. He asked if I would be at the convention on Sunday, and told me if I made it, I could sit at his table so we could geek some more. But, I couldn't get to the second day of the con.

With James "Jimmy" Hampton (

I told Jimmy how many times I had seen the first TW film, and he quizzed me about it. As a 'reward', he added a quote from the movie to the 8x10 I got signed, and told me where the quote came from, that it wasn't scripted, but improvised on the set durin' filmin'.

With David Prowse (original
Star Wars trilogy) at Star Wars Fan Days, Plano TX
The guy who took this picture said he couldn't fit us both in the same frame. Mr. Prowse simply said, "Kneal down." And without thinkin' of it, I dropped to a new. I'm weaker than Luke Skywalker.
My oldest nephew with Daniel Logan
Star Wars: Episode II - The Clone Wars, Dallas Comic Con, Plano TX
At the Q&A with Daniel Logan & Jake Lloyd, Thomas & I were front row, and Thomas said he had a question. I asked him what it was, and he told me. So, I told him to raise his hand and wait to be called like in school. He asked the two prequel trilogy actors what they thought of
Episode III. Jake Lloyd went off on how awesome and wondeful he thought it was. And he asked Thomas, "What did you think of it?" Thomas said, "They haven't let me watch it yet." Everyone who heard him say that went "Awwww..." Thomas could have crawled into a hole to die. Daniel Logan leaned into his microphone, and said, "Don't worry about it, mate, they haven't let me see it yet, either." And for that, Daniel Logan is forever awesome.

With Edward James Olmos (

With my nephew & Anthony Daniels (
Star Wars) at Fan Appreciation Day, Richardson TX
This was a free, one day event and my nephew's first scifi con. Mr. Daniels complimented my tie, too. He said Darth Maul was his favorite Sith. I didn't think to ask why.
