Foiled at the last moment!
17 years ago
Well as some of you may know. (ok a lot as i keep bragging i guess.)
Yesterday on the 26th of April was my big happy day. I went down to the Calgary comic con and just as i hoped met up with George Takei. standing in line for his autograph for just about half an hour I managed to get hm to more then happily sign my copy of Star Trek the Animated series. (only Star trek stuff I had that he did something in >.< doh on me.)
as i got my autograph I mentioned his e-mail, and such and as soon as i did noticed a nice smile widen his face as he instantly recognized me.. (made me feel nice and warm in a way. but anyway.) He was more then happy to sit down with me given he needed some time to talk to his other fans and such.
Thats when it happened. like an evil hand of fate. one of the Con Coordinators showed up and whispered something to him.
thats what it happened. he frowned slightly and looked up to me and said he would have to hold off on it. saying that if we wanted to meet up it would be word of ear and such as his event timings had been changed. not only that but the con informed him that it was holding a Lunch FOR HIM! stating that meant we most likely couldn't sit down anytime soon but would have to try sometime later.
Scream to myself "nooo!!! how can this be" i still remembered I had this gut feeling that told me there was a chance this would happen. he is a busy actor after and quite famous as well. politely I bowed and told him I understood and hoped we could catch up later.
Sadly we never did get to as I had to leave an hour or so later never getting to meet up with him. and today on the 27 am moving back home to Edmonton therefor removing any chance I could to sit down and have my chat.
But hey at least I have his e-mail now so I can always send him one and talk to him over E-mail about it. it won't be as good I guess but better then nothing.
Signed with regret,
Silkpaws.
P.S. I know you guys wanted photos but the idea went completely over my head at the time and I forgot to ask, when i met him so i missed my chance. AND sadly I never got a chance to pay for a ticket to do a Photo op with him at the beginning of the con. *snaps fingers* so the only proof I have of the meeting is my autographed Star Trek Animated TV show set. :/

Hey, at least he did remember your e-mail you sent, so, that's got a lot of clout in there. :)
heh, they just started showing series 2 of Heroes over here. He seems to be a lot more involved in this one (well at least at the start :P ).
