My Big Apple Con haul!

I was a guest at Big Apple Con in NYC this weekend, which meant that I had a lot of drawings and signing to do myself. But I was still able to get some autographs! I usually get them for free, because the Wizard World staff handles my autograph requests so that I don't have to stop working. Works for me! :)

Here's what I got:

May McDonnell was the biggest star there, in my opinion. At least, the one I wanted most. You can tell she's a big star, because her signature is a little squiggle. Heh. She zipped through 8 dvds for me, mostly all of the Battlestar Galactica dvd covers that she appeared on. Here's her sig close up:

Here are the 8 dvds she signed:
Image

Erin Gray signed JASON GOES TO HELL.
Image

The three guys who played the Brady Bunch boys signed the two season one Brady Bunch discs.
Image

The cast of Human Centipede. Ugh. But, they were selling the dvd there, and maybe one of them will be in a movie that doesn't involve poop one day.
Image

Lee Majors signed SCROOGED! I know, I know...not really something he "starred" in, but I try to only have dvds that I already own signed if possible. Those are my "rules." :)
Image

Finally, Mark Wahlberg! Not at the show, but an Australian fan of mine works in the media, and contacted me about an interview he was getting with Wahlberg. He was also planning to come to the States for this convention, and he brought me Boogie Nights, signed by Dirk Diggler himself! A nice addition to my collection!

That's so great Ethan! I really wish I would have been able to be there. Mary McDonnel was so great in Dances with Wolves! By the way, I still haven't received my stuff back from you.

did you get Mary McDonnel to sign dances with wolves for me? I doubt it, because I didn't give you the dvd. I really should have.

Ethan,

did Dean Stockwell sign one of them too at an earlier event?

Congrats on your BigAppleCon success! I posted what I got on the forum in another thread.

If you don't mind me asking what did Mary McDonnell charge you for all of those DVDs? I know that her flat-rate was $40.00 per item.

that squiggle signature is so weird looking! I wonder why celebs don't care how good a signature looks. Could be they have to sign a lot, so they use a shorter version of their sig.

Sorry about that... must have missed what you wrote on the top. That's cool.
