Ok. so when we were waiting in line for <a href="http://fuzzball.keenspace.com/con/comicon2.html"> Mind Cheescake</a> (by waiting in line I mean being the only ones there while she was away, strangling kittens or whatever it is non-celebrities do when no one is watching).
Each booth was basically just a table in front of a curtain, and they were separated by little rails made of PVC pipe. After we'd been waiting a few minutes I looked over at the booth next to us where some middle-aged man was sitting by himself, surrounded by glossy photos of a little boy in "old fashioned" clothing. The banner said something like "MEET DISNEY'S TOM SAWYER".
Me: "You were Tom Sawyer?"
Tom Sawyer Guy: "Yup."
Me: "Do you...have any interesting stories or anything?"
He paused for minute, apparently trying to find a story that would appeal to us kids today.
Tom Sawyer Guy: "Well, I gave Jody Foster her first on-screen kiss!"
Me: "Really?"
Tom Sawyer Guy: "Yup."
Me: Cool...
Tom Sawyer Guy: ...
Me:...
Tom Sawyer Guy: "When she won her first Academy Award, I sent her two dozen roses, but she never sent anything back. When she won her SECOND Academy Award, I sent her a fax saying 'Hey I sent you some roses last time, never got a reply. Hope to talk to you soon."
Then I got a response...from her SECRETARY saying that Jody got the roses and she had appreciated them. So we're still good friends. All I need to do is kill Ronald Reagan and we can live happily ever after."
Well, the last part was implied.
Then we met up with Mind Cheescake and our adventures began.
