There are quite a few companies out there that do private signings with celebrities. Some are very reliable. Some are not. Everest Autographs is one of the reliable ones. Almost certainly the most reliable. On multiple occasions they have gone out of their way to help accomodate me for a signing, including meeting me in person at the last minute to hand deliver an item. They recently did a private signing with Sam Neill. They actually flew to New Zealand to do the sign

New York Comic Con scares the crap out of me. They get some really great guests, but I just can't get myself to go. I did Mega Con for the first time earlier this year, and it was basically hell on earth. I kept waiting for hooks to fly out of nowhere and pierce my flesh.

I was the first person in the VIP line. A couple of con buddies joined me shortly thereafter. Having good people to talk to in line makes all the differen

My Friday began in Dallas, as I was there for work. I woke up at 2am for a way too early flight home to Orlando. I landed, drove home to Titusville, spent a couple of hours getting my stuff together, and headed to the hotel. I checked in, dropped off my luggage, and headed to the con at 3ish. I hung out at the entrance to the autograph area until they put VIPs in at 4. Got to see lots of my con buddies while I waited. When they let us in, I bee-lined it to David Howard Thornt
