I met Spock!
I was never a big fan of the original Star Trek Series. I don't think I've seen more than two episodes. But of all the characters I would want to meet, Spock would be the one. When several cons around that time announced that Patrick Stewart had to cancell his appearances, many people were justifiably dissapointed. However, for UFC Leonard Nimoy was definitely a worthy replacement! When I was a kid I was a huge fan of In Search Of. Loved that creepy stuff.
I had met up with a "friend of a friend" at this con so neither one of us would have to go it alone. She had convinced me to get in line for the photo op early. She was #2 in line, and I #3. One of the con managers had just finished prepping us for the ops; "please keep the conversation to hi, take the photo, and move along. We have 100 people to get through the line". Well my turn, and Mr. Nimoy asks me where I'm from. "I was born in Boston, like you Mr. Nimoy". So he starts a converstion with me about Boston. The con manager just had to laugh. Later on during the autograph session, the con manager said "I knew he was going to do that!".
