DC Friday, Part 2

pict0083.JPGCome down from high at the SG-1 panel, go with Ben to “An Hour With Virginia Hey”. Take cute video interview with Ben. Spend one hilarious hour listening to Virginia. Take video, but laugh too much to do a good job. She really is the master of circling the airport :wink2:. Split from Ben and go to panel titled “SG Fan Videos”. Make it (painfully) through 4 or 5 vids before feeling the overwhelming urge to run. Wonder why Steph’s vids weren’t used. Suffer severe disappointment. Snoop around for nothing specific and hang with Ben and Jesse.

Overall Friday thoughts: Friday was my favorite day for the Walk of Fame. With smaller crowds, there were less “restrictions” throughout the hall. The autographs were expensive, but pretty much worth it. I skipped several stars because of money concerns and the knowledge that they had a “No Pictures” policy (Torri Higginson, Rachel Luttrell, etc) If only we could have taken pictures on the spot (instead of scheduling a photo shoot), they would have each made $20-$30 more from lots of people. Food was a serious problem for me on Friday. Ben and Jesse scooted off to the mall for dinner, but I was still waiting to make our plans. I had cookies, I think. Prices for food were ridiculous and we began to devise a plan to counter the costs. Aside from my autographs and food, I didn’t even spend any money on Friday. I was surprised that I wasn’t overly disgusted with the crowds. I think the median age of con-goers is probably in the 30s, so maybe I just felt comfortable around my fellow geeks.
