Me, my husband and my brother went to Calgary, Alberta (Canada) last weekend for the 25th Star Trek TNG celebration! I was able to get Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, Gates McFadden, Levar Burton, and Denise Crosby! Michael Dorn and Marina Sirtis I already have from Vancouver, BC last weekend, but they were also there signing, and John DeLancie (Q) was the suprise guest on sunday but I also got his autograph in Vancouver. Wil Wheaton was in Calgary signing, but I have him from Emerald City Comic Con this year in Seattle.

I got 5 out of the six of the cast on Friday, Patrick Stewart was only there on Saturday and Sunday, so I had to wait until Saturday morning to get his. Friday was a great day to get autographs, hardly anyone was there for the first 3 hours or so and even after that it wasn't too packed. Saturday and Sunday were a nightmare, Saturday they actually shut the con down for about 3 hours or so because the Fire Marshall was not happy about the amount of people. Sunday after Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis and Michael Dorn's panel we left because it was so aweful. Everyone was super nice and I had a lot of nice chats with the cast! The three of us pitched in and bought the 500 dollar cast photo! That I think was the most exciting part of the whole thing!

AWESOME successes once again, Sarah!!! And that group photo...WOW!!! AMAZING!!! I can't wait to meet them all in Vegas -- with the exception of Sir Patrick -- if I may ask, how much were they charging for autographs? The Vegas convention has not posted specific pricing, but I'm assuming around $30? And Sir Patrick around $80? Any additional information would be greatly appreciated! :mrgreen:

THANKS!! =D Patrick was 80, Gates, Jonathan and Levar were 40, and the rest were 30. They all also charged 5 dollars for a photo if you didnt bring something to sign. :)

I had such a blast!! Good luck to you in Vegas!!! I so wish I was going!!

This is the event company I use and I don't Like Star Trek but they are doing an event and Patrick Stewart is only £35 here.
