So, when I went to SDCC, my top goal was to meet Olivia Munn and have her sign my copy of her book and a couple of magazines. I waited in line to do a raffle for an opportunity to meet her. I was fortunate enough to pull a winning ticket and get her autograph. We were told by the security folks not to ask her to take a pick with her in order to keep the line moving. However, if you asked to Olivia for a pic, she was kind enough to pose, as shown.
So, when I met her, I kind of froze. Which is typically not like me. I've always chatted with the celebrities I've met, like Marina Sirtis, Adam Baldwin, Jim Lee, Helen Slater, Blair Butler, Alison Hailsip, etc... I was nervous and forgot to ask Olivia for the photo and gave the go ahead sign to take the pic, which resulted in the photo below. You'll notice, none of the people around Olivia told me I could not do that or tried to shew me away. Even if they did, I would not be pissed. I would be thankful for the opportunity. For me, it's not always having a photo to be a notch on my belt, but having an experience and a moment. So, I have this funny pic with Olivia below and a star struck and awkward story to go with it. Oh yeah, since I was pretty bashful, she said a few nice things like "I like your shirt" and said "don't forget your sucker," when I walked away without it. Also by the pic, you'll notice she engaging the fans in line. She would of probably engage me more if I wasn't nervous about meeting her and asking her for a photo.

I bet you rehearsed in your minds hundreds of times what you would do if you were in this scenario, but when game time arrived, you choked!

wow, what an awful pic of her... HA
It's like she's yelling at the cashiers at Taco Bell cause they forgot her hot sauce.
There are very few celebrities who I think I would stumble around. One would easily be William Shatner. There would be too many things I'd want to say to him, and I'd probably stumble around trying to say them. And probably Ah-nold, I mean he was the fucking Terminator.Last edited by JohnnyV; 08-13-2010, 05:53 PM.Comment

I sure did. I definitely psyched myself out. I mean, I thought about it for an entire year, when I didn't get to meet her at the 2009 SDCC. Jeez, I'm seriouly shaking right now even thinking about it. I guess there's the geeky school boy kid still inside of me.You just witnessed the strength of geek knowledge. N.W.A., Nerd With Attitude.

I got nervous when I asked my first panel question at ECCC this year. I was even more nervous when I met Greg Rucka as well.Comment

Ha hah ha. For some reason, I imagine you doing a very bad Shatner impersonation of him right in front of him. Like, "SPOCK! We... have... to... get... the... shields... back... up..."Originally posted by JohnnyV View PostYou just witnessed the strength of geek knowledge. N.W.A., Nerd With Attitude.

When you guys left Hall H, he like sat next to me for a while. I forgot his name, so I really didn't say anything to him.

I kind of choked when I met Jenna Haze earlier this year. I got the pics I wanted and got to talk to her, but I highly doubt she was impressed with me being smooth and debonair. I did get to grab her thigh though. NOBODY I know can say that.Originally posted by Darth_Primus View Post

I smile inside everytime I think about it.

Not sure. I haven't attended that many panels at the SDCC. They're usually too full so I end up doing something else.Originally posted by projectile View PostComment
