Comic Con Talk (Renamed since LA Comic Con can't get it together) (12 Viewers)

It's not that great of a story, but it really has bothered me since it happened lol.

Long story short, when he was at Fan Expo Dallas last year, my friend who is a major Star Wars fan (501st and Rebel Legion member, real hardcore) was supposed to come with me to meet him. At the last minute something with work came up and he couldn't go, so he sent me with a Stormtrooper helmet he wanted to get signed. My friend specified he didn't want it made out to him, just signed.

I bring it and wait in line, and finally it's my turn and I go up to Giancarlo and tell him how much I like his work and Breaking Bad and the Mandalorian, etc. We talk for a second and he's cool and friendly, then he goes to sign the helmet and I clarify just the signature, that it's for my friend and he just wanted it signed.

His whole demeanor changed. He got a frown and signed it quickly and while never rude, certainly became a bit more...terse, shall we say. Then I realized that my request (no name, just the signature, specified that it wasn't for me) absolutely made it seem like I was an autograph scalper who was going to resell the helmet and celebs HATE that sheet. Rightfully so.

I assure you, I am no autograph scalper. That helmet is now my friend's Christmas Tree topper.

But I have lived in sadness ever since that Gustavo Fring himself possibly thought I was trying to flip his signature for money. I ain't about that life.

I gotta make it right. For my own mental wellbeing.
Best way to make it up. Take a pic with your friend and show it to him. Or better yet, if your buddy is coming in January, have him bring it.

Sooooo FYI, the folks at Fan Expo and I are working with the reps of Tyler Hoechlin to get him on the cast during the weekend. I've already submitted my pitch statement and tentative questions. Everybody cross your fingers we can make it happen.

Good luck! He would be an awesome get!

Take a pic of the helmet on a tree
 
So... the (non)perks of being the newbie on the scene. My cast is schedule in the last time slot of the last day. Guess I have to start somewhere. :hihi:
 
A week of announcements for Fan Expo NO started with Miles Morales' voice actor, Shameik Moore. This lineup is so ridiculously loaded already.
