    Did anyone else receive a mailer yesterday? It's pretty cool. Like a newspaper.

    there's a breakdown of the guests and an event schedule inside.

    there's nothing about the price of autographs though.[face_thinking]

    I got that a few weeks ago since I'm already on their mailing list.
    I think the autograph prices are set by the celebrites so the con doesn't really have that info before hand (unless they think to ask...). I'd prepare for $20-$30 a person including photo. And, in the past there hasn't been too many (if any) dealer's selling photos so I'd advise either bringing something from home or expecting to get the photo at the celebrities table.

    Usually having your photo taken with a celebrity is free. I wouldn't expect any of the guests at this con to charge anything for that.

    There's only one celebrity that I know of that charges $1 for a photo with her and that is Erin Gray(buck rogers). But she puts that dollar towards her charity so it's all good. Forgot what that charity is.

    I'm trying to get Erin Gray to come to Astronomicon - the convention that'll be in Rochester Nov 10th-12th. She's willing, but I'm having a hard time convincing the Con Chairman to pay for her.

    At some conventions (Creation and Toronto Trek come to mind) they have special photo sessions with the guests that run anywhere from free (with your own camera at TT) to $60 (for stars like Shatner, Nimoy, James Masters, etc at Creation Cons).

    At Dragon*Con last year Tricia Helfer (6 from new BSG) was charging for photos with her, but I think there too the money was going to charity.

    But we digress... :p
    Is most everyone here just doing Saturday & Sunday? I was just wondering if anyone was going to be at one of the two Friday evening dinners.
