I'm avoiding the forums. I've been away from them for forever anyway but I made the decision not to look at any of them because I did not want to catch the Boo Hoo Virus. And I know I would. I really do enjoy photographing Shanks. But you're right, the "2nd tier" guests are more generous with the fans. I'm still marveling over Peter Williams (speaking of men to drool over) sitting down with us in the lobby for several hours and chatting about anything we wanted. Don's affable, approachable demeanor is such a pleasure. I'd be thrilled to see them -- or many others.

I have no idea how much David Hewlett would cost, honestly. I suppose he'd be priced comparably but back when I bitched to Creation about the lack of guests, I got the sob story about the price of airline tickets and how all the SG-1 actors apparently raised their appearance fees by a lot last year. As I said, I think they'd be smart to develop the Atlantis side of it but I'd be perfectly happy if they don't.

There are so many fine actors I've seen on SG-1 and who also pop up regularly on other sci fi series that I love. Oh! Steve Bacic (Coburn, Camulus, Rhade on Andromeda) would be a WONDERFUL guy to have. He's totally, utterly drool-inducing, even more so in the flesh, AND a real sweetheart. Now, HE would have me glued to my seat.

(Honestly not fishing but I'm honored you think I am. Rocketchick/katiedammit takes mind-blowing photos. Seeing her Gatecon photos inspired me to invest in a camera that wasn't the point and shoot variety. Annie takes good photos. Maybe I expect too much from mine? I want in focus, engaging pics where one can see what was happening? Photos that don't take me endless hours in Photoshop? So far, that has only happened in Dallas. And I still screwed up most of the pics from there.)
