The (convention) weekend wrap-up - Part 8

[agt_spooky]

Here is the happy ending to my John Barrowman autograph saga. I was first in line Saturday morning, so I made friends with the volunteer man who was in charge of the line. We chatted and chatted for the hour and a half. I was becoming impatient (John was supposed to have been there at 9:00 am and it was nearly 10:30 am) and so was he. He kept saying how wrong it was that us VIPs paid so much extra to get in an hour and a half early and why weren't the actors there? Even though it wasn't his fault, he apologized profusely when I had to leave to get to the start of the panels. I have no idea what time John finally showed up.

Fast forward to about 3:30 pm, the first chance I had to get back over to John's table. And he was there! I tried to get in line, only to have the security guy at the end tell me that they'd cut the line off. I nearly burst into tears at that point. All of a sudden I hear this voice say "You let that young lady in right now!" It was my volunteer friend! He was still there! He took me past *everyone* in line, right up to John and said, "She gets to go next. She waited for you for an hour and a half this morning and she's not leaving without an autograph." OMG! LOL! Needless to say, I couldn't thank my volunteer friend enough. He was so amazing to do that for me.

So yep, that's how I got my John autograph AND a big hug from him. :-)
