The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

They weren't free last year and I've not seen anything to say they're free this year.

" but autographs staged in our Autograph Area are always free. Limitations on number and type of items may be made, generally at the request of the signer, and sometimes due to time considerations. "

Walk of Fame had prices at all the star tables I saw last year.

Lance and Carrie's were $20 IIRC.

Walk of Fame

This area, located in the Hilton Grand Ballroom, is where most of our media guests will be signing autographs. Please note that, at their sole discretion, guests may charge for their autographs in this area. (A listing of free autograph sessions, primarily for literary guests, will be posted as we get closer to the convention.)

The 2009 Walk of Fame layout map will be up closer to the show.


Where did you get your quote from?

I think the autographs were free, but the pictures cost money, but I'm fuzzy about most of the Con last year :oops: :D

"Normally" they charge a fee for the autograph AND the photo. I remember in 2006, FNG wanted to get
Cynthia Scott to sign his helmet (Armor helmet you pervs...) and he had to pay extra for that.

Never saw/heard about that last year.

I did get a free signature for a friend from a book author (John Scalzi), but he wasn't in the WoF, just in a side room in another area.

Don't count on any of the major stars signing anything for free, but be very grateful if they do. :wink:

I'm just concerned that any guests who appear on Froggy's list will not be offering the opportunity to take a pic with them at their signing table like normal.


Last year Edward James Olmos said 'no' to any photos at his table, even though Karyn and I had just dropped $60 on an auto!! :shock:

He said it was part of the contract, or some such arrangement, that he'd entered into with the official photographers.

Michael Hogan and James Callis had absolutely no problems with photos being taken, posed as well.

I think all three of them were on Froggys photo list, I guess you just have to try your luck on the day.

Glenn, I think that the Walk of Fame area guests are considered seperate to the 'Dragoncon' guests.

Walk of fame tends to be screen stars and as said above I think they all charge.

If I remember rightly it's mostly the same price whether you have your own item signed or get one of their supplied photos, although a few guests did charge a little less for signing your own item.

The prices varied greatly, a quick sweep of the room early on will help you plan and budget.

There is a plan of where all the guests will be placed in teh online booklet.

Andy.

Yeah it's a rare thing when a star will sign something, anything for free. As has been said, be prepared to pay for an autograph.

For instance Adam West was charging $50 for his autograph last year.

Just his autograph! You had to pay for the 8x10 seperately! :shock:
