I tried toget Michael Beihn to show up, but I guess he never got the invite,
It's up to the organisers who gets invited. Even if someone wanted to attend, the show organisers tend to only have who they think will reliably generate money for them, who is particularly relevant to a themed show (RDA at a Stargate one, for example), or just whoever is cheapest - Fly Harrison Ford over and pay all his accomodation, expenses, fees, agent fees etc..... or get both '3rd-Stromtrooper-On-The-Left' and 'Tea-Boy-For-The-Camera-Man' for the price of a bacon sarnie each!
You can go all weekend and not find anyone who knows what Aliens is. Many people have "
seen something called AvP, which that big black Alien was in, but not Alien itself. Ridley Who? Nah, you're clearly a Starship Trooper or a Stargate, because you're wearing green and have a space gun, right?"...
The worst are the randoms who wander up quietly to you and then simply start talking at you - "Of course, you *do* know the Pulse Rifle was built using a Beretta 950 Jetfire with a Nebelwerfer attached underneath and was Ridley Scott's design, but he couldn't aford to make it for the film", or some such bollocks.
"The pulse rifle was designed by James Cameron and it was a really cool one too"
I will be at this years Tex-Con, in Army ACU, all anybody here has, but with helmet, and patches and pulse rifle. I have ordered chest amour, but it will take 2-4 or so months.
You have good Drops and bad Drops. Maybe the next one will be better!
